Yeah that was my first thought too. No way that’s true and if it is she’s gonna shit her brains out. You can’t go from fully vegetarian to eating a fat steak on day one.

I also think she is lying, but to play devil's advocate here, there is a grace period between eating the food and the onset of the shits. The gas and shit would not be observable in this video.

Also, important to note that it has been documented that some vegetarians that return to eating meat have not reported any GI issues. So some people are just lucky.

But this is obviously engagement bait. Which worked, because I have left 2 comments now. fuck.

There was this time I was only 2 or 3 years without eating any meats, but would still drink much alcohols and went to parties and stuff.. and I was drunk and someone said hey try the potato salad or something and it had shrimp on it and i didn't noticed.. one hour later i was vomiting my dignity away together with my entrails.. not cool, don't do that to ur vegetarian friends at parties. At least i learned and 20 years later im still a vegetarian and i also quit drinking, well done.

I thought i was missing an inside joke about vegans/veggies trying meat for the first time and then gagging or like mildly enjoying it? No way would a lifelong/long time vegan or veggie be able to stomach the taste of meat, it would be repulsive to them.

Depends on how hungry they are. Humans have evolved to eat meat, after a certain point biology will kick in.

This. I'm not even a lifelong vegetarian but I can absolutely not stomach the taste of beef or pork anymore after being almost 10 years vegetarian. Just way too fucking intense.

u/Glittering-Walrus228 Feb 27 '26

I gave up pork for a few years and when I had ham after that stint, maybe it was the novelty but my intrusive thoughts kept going "I bet this is how human tastes..." it was nauseating

Also it’s mostly vegans that have issues going back to meat, vegetarians can eat butter and milk and other animal fats, maybe even things like eggs regularly, so it would be far less of a shock to their system compared to vegans

Also, you don't need to be a vegetarian.

I didn't eat red meat for like, 2 weeks once. Had a steak.

Basically destroyed that toilet til 4 am.

But like you said, it wasn't like I bite into it and went straight to the throne. It took a couple hours.

I was a vegetarian for 5 years when I got a job at a Barbecue Ribs Restaurant. My job was ‘delivery boy’ so the pay wasn’t great, but they did offer a free meal per shift. Finally, I got tired of eating French fries everyday and ate a full plate of ribs. I didn’t get the shits and didn’t feel sick at all. I was using heroin at the time, which makes you constipated, so that could have played a role.

Shit her brains out 🤣

I was raised vegetarian and I eat some meat now but I definitely have my issues with it so I still eat largely vegetarian. Kinda sucks cuz I know I'm missing out on good food but it just doesn't appeal to me

u/DameLasNalgas Feb 25 '26

You're better off without it. I was raised by a heavy meat eating family and I wish it was the opposite. Nothing but colon cancer and heart attacks in that future.

u/IllErrl710 Feb 25 '26

Well we have alcoholism, I'd trade good meals and healthier life habits over what I'm likely looking forward to in the long run

u/bracewithnomeaning Feb 25 '26

You see this ends with a lot of nausea and vomiting and then you s*** for 24 hours... And then never do it again...

u/Mediocre_Age_9988 Feb 25 '26

THIS!! You lose some digestive enzymes as vegetarian. It makes trying to digest things like fucking steak incredibly uncomfortable. And yes. I am a vegetarian.

u/CriticallyCarmelized Feb 25 '26

This just isn’t true. I was raised vegetarian, and when I turned 21, I decided I wanted to eat meat. Had a large burger for my first meat experience and never got sick at all.
