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.

There is French youtuber that stopped being vegetarian because she started having intestinal issues and said it was better after going back to meat. Could be something else entirely, this seems weird or maybe a bad diet. Unfortunately she contributed to spread this to the world

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.
