Building on this article, for those who are interested in some science on the subject, what you eat greatly influences your biome. A vegan diet has been shown to substantially change your flora [1] in as little as a day [2]. I also found this video on the role of fiber, our gut flora, and our immune system interesting [3].

> Conclusions: Maintaining a strict vegan or vegetarian diet results in a significant shift in the microbiota while total cell numbers remain unaltered. Studies should almost never use the term "vegan diet" to arrive at any conclusions. A vegan diet can be potato chips and oreos, whole foods high carb, whole foods high fat, 100% raw, etc. I assume most of them would produce significantly different results.
