Perplexity AI:

Research indicates that individuals on a **vegan diet** produce significantly more flatulence than those consuming an **omnivorous diet**. Specifically, vegan men can fart up to **seven times more** frequently, with each fart containing about **50% more gas** compared to those on a meat-based diet[1][3]. This increased gas production is largely due to the fermentation of plant fibers by gut bacteria, which leads to larger stools and more frequent bowel movements[2][3]. Thus, the quantity of methane in a vegan fart is generally higher than in an omnivorous fart.
