It's a cute idea, and I've tried probably 9 or 10 different versions of vegetarian and veganism over the years, but none of them have stuck. As a (former?) IBS guy, the only diet I've ever found to basically get rid of it is a simple diet of salad-eggs-coffee for breakfast, meat and veg with olive oil for mains and certain fruits, cheeses and nuts as snacks. The plant-based route just leaves me shitting buckets, farting out entire rooms, and generally being in excruciating pain for most of the day. And yes, I've tried stuff like cutting out high FODMAP foods, cutting out wheat, etc. None of it worked.

If your body works well with that kind of diet, I say fucking go for it. To each their own and all that, but I suspect the reason why veganism hasn't gone fully mainstream with common people despite all the media shilling is because there's at least a dozen or more common things that can just render it completely pointless or, worse, an actual detriment to your quality of life.

Anyway to cut the life story bullshit, in answer to your question op I imagine for a lot of people they go vegan for environmental reasons, which is cool, but it certainly didn't fucking work for me.
