It’s a common question that many people have been asking lately, especially with the rise of veganism in the past few years. Why do vegan celebrities and influencers stop being vegan?

Well, let’s dive into it and see what we can find.

First, it’s important to note that everyone has their reasons for going vegan and then deciding to stop. Some people choose to go vegan for ethical reasons, others for health, and others for environmental reasons. So when someone decides to stop being vegan, their reasons for doing so will be just as varied.

One reason that some celebrities and influencers stop being vegan is that perhaps they don’t have a proper understanding of what it means to be vegan in the first place. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of a new diet or lifestyle trend, especially when it’s promoted heavily on social media. But if someone doesn’t fully understand the ethical implications of a vegan lifestyle, they may not be able to sustain it in the long run.

Being vegan is about the animals first and foremost. You could say that plant-based food is simply a by-product of the actions not to use, abuse or exploit any animal in any way.
