According to an exchange on the website formerly known as Twitter, Cameron opined that, "I know this might not be the most popular tweet, but I genuinely feel sick if I don't eat meat," followed by a sad face emoji. "Like, I feel nauseous and weak [without] it."

A follower rightfully and respectfully points out that Cameron should instead consult with a doctor about feeling this way, as Cameron could perhaps be experiencing some kind of nutrient deficiency that results in her feelings of nausea.

Nevertheless, Cameron appeared to eschew actual medical guidance and a well-rounded health plan informed by a primary care physician in conjunction with a dietitian. Instead, she defaulted to her background of being "raised on a heavy diet of meat," and without meat in her life, she claims she was "always shaking."

Regardless, PETA awarded Cameron its Best Celeb Tweet for Animals at the organization's annual Libby Awards in 2018.

Also in 2018, Cameron revealed in a feature story in Delish that she consumes seafood. "Most days, Cameron has salmon with vegetables for lunch, and chicken or fish with vegetables for dinner."

Nevertheless, the article points out that Cameron enjoys vegan burgers with hummus, rather than mayo. "I just got to the point where if I eat red meat, my mood and energy plummet. I’ve just reached a weird moral point with it," Cameron said at the time.

In a 2021 Wired video entitled "Dove Cameron Answers the Web's Most Searched Questions...Again," Cameron made a point to share how sick she feels when she tries to live on a vegan diet.

In response to the question of whether or not she is vegan, she said: "No, I'm not. I tried to be vegan for a long time. I'm vegan off and on, but I have not figured out a way to do it where I don't feel incredibly sick all the time, even with the right supplements and loads of vegetables and things like that."
