Re: Vegetarian prop bet

I've been a vegetarian for ~9 years and can say it was definitely one of the easiest things I've ever done. I've been trying to live the vegan lifestyle for a year and a half, and that is much harder.

Re: Vegetarian prop bet

Yeah becoming vegetarian is about the easiest thing you could ever do, is seriously +EV for Ivey if true. The way to think about the reality of this bet is that nobody would have any problem being vegetarian for a day if they had some incentive. The misperception is that the desire to eat meat is some cumulative thing that grows so that subsequent days are harder, but actually every subsequent day is just as easy, this is about as difficult as betting you won't wear a watch for a year or something like that.

Being vegetarian is maybe a little difficult but not really that much so. I've been vegetarian off and on for a while, and have had really no issue with sticking to it. The hardest part is having to make your own food and not going to Mickey D's so often.

That said, I am not a vegetarian anymore but I cut down drastically on my meat consumption and only eat meat that is from "more ethical" sources like Whole Foods or local producers.

Plz to be meeting dwan to make this bet! He should have made Ivey eat like 4 hot dogs a day for a year. That would be 100x worse than having 0 hot dogs a day for a year.
This is all true. Being Vegetarian is simple, and there is no way Phil loses this bet. Especially when he has the means to have people make his food. Chefs today can make fake meat dishes that you would never know had no meat in them.
The interesting thing will be after a year if Phil goes back to eating meat. When you havent had it for a year, it's not the easiest thing to go back to. Beef especially.

Such an easy bet. Anyone who wouldn't is kind of retarded.

If you wanted to make it interesting, you could try something radical. Like going 100% freegan, or maybe raw fruitarian + only drink water, no other beverages at all. Either of those would be hardcore, for sure. Vegetarianism is super, super easy compared to those.

Lmao!!!

I would definetly do this. I don't see why Durrr would make this bet. He clearly didn't think it through. It's easy to go vego for a year when you are getting a million dollars for it. And if you fail you lose a million dollars, so that's all the motivation you need. 365 days isn't that long.
