Do you think there are any health benefits of turning into vegan or vegetarian?
Two of my close friends have become vegan and asking me to give up meat and fish 😏

Not necessarily. It depends on the other dietary changes you make, largely.
Nobody can argue that my 13-year-old vegetarianism was healthy. I was living entirely off Goldfish crackers, Morningstar Farms faux chicken nuggets, and Mountain Dew. But 17 years later and I’m usually able to eat pretty balanced.
I’m not purely vegetarian anymore though, for several reasons, but I mostly try to stick to it.
Veganism/vegetarianism also poses a challenge for those with eating disorders - it certainly made mine worse as I was more inclined to justify restrictive eating.
