They want to contribute to lessen the carbon footprint. Moreover, most of these people are animal lovers and want to avoid animal cruelty. Further, Ashley narrated:

Why Ashley left vegan diet?
It was for health reasons that Ashley decided to stop vegan diet and switch back to her omnivores diet. She revealed:

But she wanted to still have plant based foods in her weekly diet. Ashley said:
“I remember feeling disappointed that I couldn’t continue, but in my mind I remember thinking ‘You know what? I can still continue by [eating plant-based] at least one or two days.’ It doesn’t have to be all or nothing,”

“If you can just take one day and commit to eating more plant-based meals that day, it really does feel like a good reset. I feel like everything is about balance and moderation … I want people to know it’s not just one or the other, you can do both.”
