This seems like a waste of time to me when you could instead focus on Coal or things that matter

    Not everyone can live fully vegan. Just look at Alex O’connor’s vegan journey.

    But a lot of people can try, and everyone can cut out beef if they want, which would already be a big win

        He’s a young YouTuber who started out talking about atheism and became a vegan and a big advocate for veganism and was very outspoken about switching to veganism etc. but a year or two into his journey he revealed that due to health reasons he can’t stay on a vegan diet so he’s reintroduced meat into his diet and he will try and do it as ethically possible but for health reasons he needs to consume animal products.

        He’s got great content

          Honestly, I’m still skeptical.

          I glanced at the ai summary as I can’t watch something right now and this ‘pre-existing health condition’ just seems like a great way to absolve himself of the responsibilities of veganism, while still retaining his paycheque/followers and that feeling of superiority he very likely gets from preaching about righteous ways online.

          I have little faith in media personalities though, so who knows, maybe I’m wrong.

            He’s never really seemed to be after the money, he didn’t have a patron for a long time. He mostly goes around doing debates and discussions with other intellectuals.

            It’s very likely that a percentage of the population can’t live on a vegan diet.

            When you get a chance watch it, it looks very genuine to me, or he’s a world class actor.
