    That’s called an anecdote and I’ve got one, too: I stopped eating red meat and now I don’t find beef or lamb appetizing at all.

    Seems like it doesn’t happen to everyone and the article agrees with that

    Of the 40 participants, 28 reported an increase in meat disgust.

      A study on a group of 40 is an anecdote at best, a waste of resources at worst.

      Reporting on it in on a big news website should be a crime, as it’s just a clickbait.

            Thanks for the link. Yeah, AIT powered studies could be made to imply literally anything depending on how the study is structured.

            “However, considering the moderate size of test-retest reliabilities for IATs, it would be inadequate to use a single IAT observation as an accurate diagnostic of an individual’s implicit association. This restriction on the use of IATs may also have contributed to their death.”
