'In a video titled '5 reasons you shouldn't go vegan' (563,522 views), Bonnyrebecca says to her subscribers, 'Have you ever heard the expression "Pay for it now, or pay for it later"? You can pay for it now in produce and fresh fruits and vegetables, or you can pay for it in the form of bills or medicine and hospital beds ... it's your choice!' As she speaks, the phrase 'Make your food a priority' pops up on the screen, hovering around her mouth as she talks about her friends who thrive on a vegan lifestyle while living on a student budget.'  (Publication abstract)
