"I've been a vegetarian for so long, I forgot how much I missed meat. You know you don't realize how important meat is to you until you don't have it for long time"
About this Quote
It lands like a confession dressed up as a punchline: Brittany Daniel frames her return to meat not as a moral reversal but as a sensory amnesia snapping back into focus. The repetition of "meat" is doing quiet work here, stripping the conversation down to craving and habit rather than ethics or identity politics. She is not arguing against vegetarianism; she's narrating how the body keeps a ledger even when the mind has moved on.
The intent feels less like a dietary manifesto and more like a candid reset of persona. Celebrities are routinely pressured into "clean" choices that read well on a red carpet: disciplined, enlightened, optimized. Daniel punctures that aspirational script with something more relatable: deprivation doesn't always produce clarity; sometimes it produces nostalgia for the thing you banned. Her phrasing, "you know", invites the listener into a shared secret, as if everyone has a private version of this backslide, whether it's food, alcohol, social media, or a relationship you swore off.
Subtext: virtue can be exhausting, and abstention can blur the real question, which is not "What should I eat?" but "What does my life feel like when I can't have what I want?" By saying she "forgot", she also sidesteps shame. Forgetting is innocent. Missing is human. In a culture that turns diets into identities, her remark reclaims appetite as mood, memory, and comfort - messy, temporary, and stubbornly unbrandable.
