Plant-Based Drama: Friends at War Over Weight Loss
Lean Machine and his wife have been shedding pounds on their plant-based diet, and they couldn’t be happier! But when Big Beef hears about their success, he’s not so supportive. At a dinner party, Big Beef calls Lean Machine a ‘soy boy’ and claims that eating meat is a vital necessity for every diet. Lean Machine claps back, pointing out the health benefits of their new lifestyle and suggesting Big Beef might hit 400 lbs if he doesn’t change his ways. The argument leaves their friendship hanging in the balance. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this meaty conflict!
