I've had this IRL discussion too many times, where the non-veg person says that a lack of meat affects their sleep, energy level, digestion, etc. I'm not a dickhead, and I don't argue with people's lived experience, even if it feels very sus.
I've done a good faith search for evidence of how certain people might have negative health effects from not eating meat, and nothing turns up. (Short of just having a bad veg diet) Maybe I'm missing something. It's just frustrating how often people use this as an excuse, and they're often anti-vegan in their wider ideology.
WTYP.
Christians love a covert. The "I was X and my life was bad, but then I became Y and my life became good" is a classic sales/marketing refrain.
I doubt she's the first YouTuber to accept an endorsement deal to change her opinion publicly. And I bet that extra money went a long way towards curbing her gut-wrenching sense of anxiety over her success as a media personality.
