## Synopsis

When Choki gets a check-up and discovers that his cholesterol is through the roof, his arteries are slightly clogged, and animal meat foods carry the organic molecule that is cholesterol itself, he decides to go on a temporary vegan diet and a healthy exercise routine, which makes him pursue a career as an online fitness instructor and straining his relationship with Dan and the rest of his friends. Meanwhile, James, who has become furious after Choki adopted his new vegan diet, attempts to wipe out the entire population of vegans, with a little help from McNeese.

## Plot

The episode begins at the Dawson Family Clinic, where Choki can be seen in the waiting room playing on his phone. When a doctor calls his name, Choki gets up and enters a room, where the doctor gives him info on his yearly check-up. He explains to Choki that his cholesterol is very high and his arteries are slightly clogged, shocking Choki. The doctor gives him a guidebook on how to lower his cholesterol and clear his arteries and a health journal to help him track his physical activity. Choki is upset about his cholesterol being high, and tries to think about the Friends intro to clear his mind, but winds up thinking about the Joey intro instead, upsetting him. Arriving home, Choki reads his guidebook and discovers that cholesterol is an organic molecule that comes from fatty animal meat. This gives Choki the idea to begin a temporary vegan diet to help lower his cholesterol and clean his arteries. After trying out vegan foods, including vegetables he's never tried before, Choki reads from an article online that most vegan dieters take on exercise, which then inspires Choki to start a daily exercise routine. After starting many routines, he is inspired by many fitness instructors to become an instructor himself, which prompts him to start an online workout vlog and e-commerce store, called Choki's Vegan Life, where his products promote veganism through vegan and healthy lifestyle puns and motivation. Sometime later, at a Sminster, Dan and the rest of his friends are waiting for Choki to arrive. Choki eventually catches up with them, where he impresses them with his Galantis sweatshirt, which the boys never know he liked. Later, when Dan and his friends are seen ordering their food, Choki ends up ordering the new 'Meat-Free Smits-Burger' meal, which shocks Dan and his friends. Choki then explains to them that he has gone on a vegan diet after his doctor told him his cholesterol was too high, which causes James to angrily leave the restaurant. Dan and the remainder of his friends try to tell Choki that the Meat-Free Smits-Burger tastes disgusting, but Choki dismisses their complaints and also tells them about his online workout vlog, which upsets them even more.

Later, at James' house, James is seen sitting in his room plotting a way how to "end veganism once and for all". He then goes into his father's room, where he discovers an AK-47 hidden in his father's closet, causing him to laugh maniacally. James then visits McNeese's house, where he tells McNeese about his plans for killing vegans. McNeese then praises his idea, and tells him that he wants to get involved. TBA
