Grylls’ statement has sparked a lively online debate between vegans and meat eaters, with social media becoming a battleground for humorous exchanges and passionate arguments.
During an interview with PA, the 48-year-old adventurer candidly shared his change of perspective, admitting his previous misconception about the advantages of veganism.
“I was vegan quite a few years ago – in fact, I wrote a vegan cookbook – and I feel a bit embarrassed because I really promoted that,” Grylls confessed.
I thought that was good for the environment and I thought it was good for my health. And through time and experience and knowledge and study, I realized I was wrong on both counts.
