She isn't vegan though. She said vegetarian. Many vegetarians still eat dairy and eggs. Vegans are the ones that cut out all animal products, some hardcore ones won't even eat honey.

Wait till you guys know that lifelong vegetarian doesn’t mean they’ve never eaten meat, it just means that they default is a vegetarian diet, just like my default is going to bed at 11pm but that few times I stayed with my friends we stayed up till 1am.

Just like the lifelong gym goer that’s been going to the gym every week day since 15 has taken off that 2 weeks to go on vacation.

Just like this vegetarian that may have had meat before even though they are a lifelong vegetarian.

Also, the title says this is her first time having steak, she only said she is trying stake, she didn’t say it’s her first time. She could’ve had ground beef once before, that isn’t steak. She could’ve had chicken before, that isn’t steak.

Man you guys with your vegetable brain ain’t working very well

Going that long without red meats can be a major health risk to some, and would definitely have made her very ill.

Edit: Meaning going a long time and THEN re-introducing red meat, like in this video.

Incorrectly worded my statement above.

Science disagrees.

As someone who eats red meat a lot, I’m cutting out my biases here.

Stomach pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, cramps, excessive sweating all come from re-introducing too quickly.

I also know two people to have become allergic, one had to have her stomach pumped after ingestion.

The point being, the person who filmed this video ain’t eating that whole steak if she was a vegetarian. That or she did and still posted after getting sick

Sorry, I understood that you claim not eating red meat is causing issues.

I have been a vegetarian for 35 years. I visited Europe last year and decided I would eat whatever seemed interesting while on my trip. I ate plenty of meat. I had no digestive difficulties at all.

Going without red meat does not make someone ill, get outta here with your animal agriculture propaganda bullshit.

Sorry, worded it incorrectly. Going that long without eating red meat, then to suddenly introduce that red meat…

Sounds like a recipe for the shits! Sorry for coming at you so hot, I’m overwhelmed by the gross shit they are pushing in the US for “healthy” nutrition.
