Hey thank you so much for this fair criticism and response. You’ve actually echoed a lot of my sentiments even though I haven’t explicitly said them in a video per se. To echo a few thoughts:
No I now wouldn’t work with a deli meat brand or even buy deli meat.
No I would NEVER be able to butcher an animal or call it a gorgeous animal in that context anymore. Oh man it’s so cringy to watch that now, I legit feel sick over it. I’m embarrassed and I’m sorry for my past self (legit that was shot almost 10 yrs ago).
Re baby E. Freelee cherry picks these images. And admittedly no that wasn’t a perfect meal even at that age (before one) when I was way more concerned with iron for him so I would feed him more animal products. But in the context of his day where maybe he had a plant based lunch and a carb heavy breakfast, it may have made sense that day. Intuitive eating and flexibility in eating applies to babies too! I also was trying to give a new food every meal so we were stepping outside our usual (mainly plant) rotation. today, now that iron needs are lower and he’s a eating superstar, he eats way more beans and lentils for dinner (omg he wants hummus at every meal 🤦🏼♀️).
Brand partnerships- I totally get that some vegans may be turned off of this. Still I am not vegan (never ever pretended to be so I was never “outted”) so it makes sense to me to work w both vegan and non vegan brands. But FYI, as of right now I have only vegan brands lined up for 2020 🤗
Documentaries / bias- totally. I like giving both sides when I can. Sometimes those sides can’t be as fleshed out as one would like in a short branded piece on my blog or channel but I do try to be unbiased. I have an upcoming review of game changers coming where I do what I like and what I don’t like and even tho i generally really liked the film there are still flaws and omissions. It doesn’t make it a bad film bc that’s kinda expected but it’s worth discussing them, that’s all!
Orthorexia is so fucking real it almost took my life. This was not fake news.
Bottom line: I’m not perfect. I’m still learning and making small manageable changes to my diet to make a healthier earth and also a healthier me. I am a vegan ally and I try to meet others where they are in their journey without judgement. Thanks to those who are understanding that eating MORE plants is a great place to start and for encouraging me to continue on this journey.
Abbey Sharp love you girl
Hugenia Cooney thank you 😊
Honestly, I really appreciate how you responded to this video without another video. I love your channel and it’s saved me from trying so many fad diets, and instead has taught me much more about how to properly take care of my body ❤️❤️❤️
Love you!!!!!!!! You’re the best! And I think most people understand that those videos were old and you’ve changed overtime! 😚
I think it's really mature how you've responded to this video, despite it containing criticism - which would cause a lot of people to get reflexively defensive and dismiss it entirely...or if you're Freelee, record yourself ranting like a madwoman, I guess. As a vegetarian, I find your videos enjoyable and informative, especially the way you break down various fad diets! 😊
Abbey is the only dietician I've ever found on UA-cam who is respectful of Vegan diets and demonstrates empathy for people whose opinions differ from her's. Freelee on the other hand...
The Personal Philosophy Project it’s perfectly fine as a vegan to not respect eating animals (as that would be against our principles) but freelee could probably go about it better
@@olivia4394 it's the way a lot of vegans talk to people who does have an omnivorous diet or any diet that isn't vegan. It isn't about respecting eating meat but too respect the actual person and treat them like a human and not like some evil nazi scientist. I appreciate the cause and the vegan movement but it's FULL of toxic and patronising members and tbh that their biggest flaws.
I watch tons of vegan dietitians and nutritionist.
@@sibz8132 well to be fair a lot of nazis were just normal people following orders. Slave owners were normal people too. The vast majority of people are just people. They aren't particularly evil. Still, what we do to animals is 100% evil, even if no single evil individual is to blame for it. Meat eaters aren't evil but what happens to animals is heinous
Anno Bonano
I’m pretty sure the “evil nazi scientist” referred to people like Joseph geobbels and the people who fronted the experiments on twins.
Why is Freelee greenscreening herself onto a stock image of an office? lol
I like her x-mas hat with green in it, totally messing up her green screen videos. But, someone needs a hobby. I like green screen experiments as well
She felt threatened by Amy’s clean house!
Holistic HealthLife Wellness Coach Martine l
😂😂😂😂😂
Because she's insane lol
Lol Freelee doesn’t understand that her videos are being “surpressed” because all her subscribers are from like 2010 and don’t watch her anymore lol
Udo Ka i really wonder what her channel would look like if she hadn’t stopped making videos for a while , probably for the best she had every vlogger terrified to show what they ate back then lmao
Udo Ka actually freelee’s channel is doing really well
3wt3vr3 it’s doing so well that she is complaining that someone with less subscribers is doing better than her. Makes sense
I'm guessing that she's getting a lot of hate views too, just because she's very controversial
I liked freelee since 2010 actually and am still watching
the thing is, abbey is actually educated
thank you!
@@AbbeysKitchen 👏🏻👏🏻😊
hana rose and yet she eats and promotes “food” that increases risks in life threatening diseases and contributes to environmental damage and animal torture and murder just for the selfish reason of liking the flavor :)
@@witchf4ce310 are you educated?
nope. she just SEEMS to be .. uh
Freelee: she promotes a carcinogen!!!
Also Freelee: *bakes in the sun*
Eva Green Lover A vegan diet removes cholesterol from your diet. Thats about it. Everything else depends on the specific food choices you make. A whole food balanced vegan diet is healthy, as cruelty free as you can get, and best for the environment ;)
sarah Point of clarification- it reduces cholesterol. You don’t want no cholesterol anyways, some is good for you.
@Eva Green Lover Personally I think it's the overall food pattern that matters. Look for people who don't sell one diet as a cure for every illness. You can still be pretty healthy if you eat some meat or even junk food occassionally. If you don't overeat, get lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains and legumes, don't smoke, get enough sleep and exercise, you're already doing *so much* for your health. And of course, if you're vegan make sure you still get balance (I.e. don't replace meat with just carbs, have some tofu, beans and nuts) and take your supplements. You can eat the most whole, balanced diet, but if you don't supplement for B12 you can get very sick.
Eva Green Lover there are many benefits to a vegan diet just because you don’t experience them at hand doesn’t make them any less valid. Even if a vegan diet only lowered your cholesterol( which isn’t the only thing it does) that is a huge benefit and can prevent heart disease and strokes, which can be hard and is a huge problem for many Americans. Where you went wrong is believing that just because you are vegan you are healthy, which isn’t true. There are many unhealthy vegans and hundreds of processed vegan food like candy, chips, and chocolate. Being a healthy vegan is more than just giving up meat and dairy.
@@jennyg5277 And you can eat only whole vegan foods and still be unhealthy. There's this belief that it's only the "junk food vegans" that aren't particularly healthy. If you don't eat legumes you can miss out on essential nutrients (lysine, zinc, iron), most people don't meet calcium needs from greens alone, so maybe have some fortified non dairy milk or yoghurt, make sure you have iodine in your diet (where I live most salt isn't iodized) and selenium (eat a few brazil nuts/week if you don't eat a lot of grains or live somewhere where soils aren't rich in this mineral), eat orange veggies for vitamin A, have a source for omega 3s
Freelee saying abbey is too staged while in front of a green screen of a beautiful room. Definitely reads as jealousy. She hasn’t really improved her video quality probably due to lack of views
If Freelee would go HD it would show a lot of the flaws on her face. Her selling point used to be the way she looks but now she looks pretty bad.
She doesn't care enough about her viewers to put in that kind of work or money
The only thing people can do to Freelee is personal attacks. Well, actually, even tho I'm supportive of her, I have a whole playlist of real problems with Freelee. Why can't the anti-vegan haters do that?
...is Freelee unaware that it’s entirely possible to promote a vegan lifestyle without being excessively abrasive?
Freelee is Freelee. Being unaware goes with the territory/
Are you aware that it's entirely possible to be abrasive and effective?
@@0xstev3 Freelee's abrasive and effective at promoting eating disorders
@@dryd943 I know you want to believe that, but I'm going to ask you how you know that to point out to you that you don't know that.
@@monkiram But she's not. She promotes a healthy lifestyle, follows it to a T, and gets great results. I'm struggling to see the issue honestly. I followed her and Durianrider's suggestions for a while, minus the literal sugar bc that's retarded, and it was fine. I did move onto intermittent fasting and more fat, beans and salad though, but only because it's more simple to have 2 meals and i love the fatty bean salad I make, and I want muscles.
*_"Freelee, spend some time with people"_* - I felt that on a spiritual level
People still even watch Freelee?
Sometimes I need a break from the logical world....and i throw myself into some good ol' Freelee insanity. Her batshit crazy rants really keeps things balanced😂😅
Yeah I do sometimes. I like freelee. She speaks her mind. She is mean,but that's just who she is. No one is perfect. I've seen omnivores who act like freelee. And make videos mocking Vegans,but no one bats an eye only when it's freelee mocking meat eaters😕.
Kyky Smith “she’s mean but that’s just who she is” errrr okay not someone I’d want to support or be friends with.
Heaps of omnivores get criticised by these type of videos.
Freelee eats a stupid, unhealthy diet herself end of.
Sadly Yeah. When she changed and moved to the jungle at first she was acting very positively and was pretty open about regretting some of her past behavior, but that was short lived as once she settled into her off the grid lifestyle with her younger boy toy Robin she started up the mad ravings and rants again. She's also friends with Sonia Sae which is about as anti vegan as you can get because Sonia has a fennec fox that isn't kept in the right conditions at all and she feeds him a vegan diet which is completely against his biology. She's essentially torturing her pet. I'd say Freelee is one of the biggest wolves in sheeps clothing you would ever find in the vegan community.
Kyky Smith just because being mean is the way she is doesn’t make it okay. And yes she does speak her mind but her speaking her mind has negatively impacted thousands of people’s lives by sharing false information, sharing a dangerous diet, and discrediting scientific research with her own personal biases. Just because nobody mocks omnivores who criticize vegans doesn’t make them right it.
I have actually blocked Freelees content, because she stresses me out. Promoting a raw, only fruit diet as eco friendly and conscious is a straightforward lie! I am living in northern Europe and we do try to incorporate seasonal fruit and veggies into our diet, meaning the variety of fruit in winter is quite restricted, still delicious, but definitely not enough to live a healthy life. We won't save the planet by importing tons of tropical fruit.
100%. I'm in Canada, if you want to live off the land and be sustainable, you're likely gonna be eating meat and/or dairy (hunt, fish, have chickens, goats, etc.). How do people think Native peoples thrived!?
Catin Ka she doesn’t promote that at all
Hello from Germany! Right now the only regional fruit we have are pears and apples. Everything else is imported. And don't get me started on veggies. Somehow it's cheaper to eat junk food and meat than regional veggies. Even the imported stuff from Spain is more expensive... -.-*
Semi I live in Germany too, the grocery stores here are stocked with fresh fruit and vegetables year round. You can get affordable produce at plenty of stores: ALDI/NETTO/REAL/EDEKA/REWE....
What are you talking about?
@@writerchik44 sustainable, seasonal, ecofriendly produce. Food our ancestors used to eat in winter, no tropical fruit or veggies grown on the other side of the world. Yes, almost everything is available all year round, but this very fact plays a huge part in climate change.
Freelee is promoting her way of life as ecofriendly and sustainable for everyone, which is a straightforward lie! And she did so multiple times in this video and many others. Living a vegan life in northern Europe, eating only seasonal produce, would restrict your choices immensely (no quinoa, very little soy, no avocados, mangos, most "superfoods" etc.).
Freely cancled herself when she went after Jenna. Jenna is so wholesome and adorable and we love that 33 year old lady!
Agreed. Freelee is completely unrelatable now and has gone off the deep end
I found Jenna through Freelees video and read about how everyone was pissed that she went after their queen . And i was like .. why are people so in love with Jenna ? And i watched one of Jennas videos and i immediately understood what people were talking about .. shes awesome and freelee sucks even more for going after her.
Anny Paola for real. You would be hard pressed to find a UA-cam that cares more about animals than Jenna.
@@annyfascia the care she took with Bunny when they first got her was so amazing. That dog has became a whole new animal under their love.
@@annyfascia not to mention freelee criticized jenna in the past and jenna responded with only love in her heart
The comparison in production quality between Abbey Sharp and Freelee is like a normal video versus potato with built-in webcam
It's like watching a conspiracy theory video.
@@C00kii0 listen dont come for shane like that, he has production value and has disavowed onision, it's like watching flat earth videos, similar but even worse
Literally no one:
@@ConstantChaos1: DON'T COME FOR SHANE DAWSON
@@katekursive1370 shane makes conspiracy theory videos, it was a joke. r/woosh
Abbey is level headed like you are, Swayze. She's salty now and then, but overall logical. But Freelee is an absolute angry nutjob.
Shari Welch right, but Abbey still pushes the meat and dairy industry pretty hard.
Except Abby pushes this “health at every size” bullshit, which goes against all clinical research science we have on visceral fat levels, abdominal circumference, etc and it’s high correlation with heart disease, diabetes...then she waffles and says “oh I’m not a HAES nutritionist/dietician I just see how it could be helpful to some people.....”
@@VioletBloom She constantly says that a vegan diet can be very healthy too.
@@Jlk6532 This is my issue with her. She's science based which is brilliant, until it comes to HAES and intuitive eating, then she jumps the shark entirely. She very heavily subscribes to all restriction and dieting is bad, fails and leads to eating disorders. It is not a useful stance to take at a time when obesity related disease and illness are at the levels they are.
Sterling Bloom ASMR Yeah and so does a majority of the world. You’ll have to get over it like other vegans do.
I think it's telling that Freelee blames UA-cam and Abbey, like it's a conspiracy against her, when people are just growing tired of her hostile content. Not to mention, I feel like the vegan community is changing towards a balanced diet and letting go of the extremes Raw Till 4 disaster. She is her own downfall.
Yvette ASMR I didn’t know you watched UV! So lovely seeing creators you like enjoy the content of other creators you follow 🤗
omg you've saved my life with your stomach asmr. I love you
Finally someone said it!
Well said
I like Abbey Sharp. I think she’s just trying to prevent eating disorders. She’s knows how impressionable young people can be.
Abbey is actually promoting eating disorders, specifically binge eating and addiction, so I’m not sure how that makes you like her.
@@netpunk5890 literally where
net punk when? in which video?
I think net punk is talking about intuitive eating. Which does not promote binge eating disorder but can be hard for those who struggle with this condition. But if I'm not mistaken she also addresses this in her video. As someone who is a recovered anorexic/bulimic, I find her videos very informative & wished I had them in the throes of my disorder.
She encourages intuitive eating, which is the best form of eating in my opinion. Fad diets shouldn't be followed and healthy eating is something that should be a non-restrictive lifestyle. It might be hard for someone to intuitively eat if they are on either extreme sides of the eating spectrum, but with time you can adjust to a healthy eating lifestyle that works for you.
Full disclosure: I'm not a vegan, I'm a vegetarian. That being said, I love Abbey and I love you. I was nervous to click on this video, because I thought you might be unnecessarily harsh toward Abbey, but I think your criticisms were very fair and logical. Thanks for being one of the rare actual rational adults on UA-cam, and disagreeing with others without resorting to name-calling and baseless accusations.
Vegetarian gang!
@@bimbowithadegree420 you're really proud that you still eat animal secretions? Nasty
@Lizzy W. Vegetarian doesn’t necessarily mean you consume dairy...
@@2paranoid2think Making bully like comments because you are at a different part of this journey doesn't make you better. It is at least its a step in the right direction.
Lizzy W. Ah yes, I heard the high horse walking threw, hello.
Here's the thing. When you have a channel that's more broad (not strictly vegan, not strictly keto etc.) there are bound to be contradictions here and there over time. Not only from one diet to another but as studies change and as Abbey learns more and changes herself. When you're trying to reach everyone, you'll definitely anger everyone too at one point or another BUT there's also a huge benefit in following a channel that tries to understand, support and meet people halfway. ... My two cents
But... Freelee feels oppressed!
What's more saying something is keto isnt the same as encouraging keto, I can say you wont die from eating poinsettias but that's not the same as saying eat this mildly toxic plant
TL Travel Yes, thank you! I really dislike it when people are referencing things from YEARS ago and using them as an end all be all type argument... Especially with nutrition! Science is always evolving and changing... we used to freaking believe in blood letting! Not only does science change, but people change! No one is perfect, no one person can know everything and science doesn’t always have all the right answers. Thank you for your wonderful point.
@@myneoangel4299 exactly! When a UA-camr transitions to a vegan diet no one is disregarding their content just because eight months prior he/ she ate a burger in a video. Opinions change .. heck .. FACTS change 😂😂 Makes me nervous to state any opinions about anything online lol.
The other thing about Abbey's channel is that she's explained why she's not vegan: she has a history of orthorexia and doesn't feel comfortable giving herself strict rules with regard to "I can eat this, I cannot eat that", because she knows there's a tendency in herself to end up obsessive over these rules and restricting more and more. Like, it's not like she's some big fan of animal cruelty; she's trying to take care of herself and her own needs.
The irony of freelee being a radfem and calling another woman fat for being a normal weight even right after having a baby.
I get the feeling that Freelee is actually a HERF: Humanity Exclusive Feminist.
@moths from neptune Of course you can. But to say something like that to a new mother simply makes one a shitty person. Do you know how hard it is to get back into shape with a baby? And even if you get back into shape it doesn't mean, that you look as lean as before, because there can be loose skin.
@moths from neptune probably.
@moths from neptune It doesn't matter that she used to be thinner. Abbey is clearly at a very healthy weight. And yes as somebody pointed out, she just had a baby, and you gain weight in pregnancy and need to have more weight in order to feed your baby using your breast milk. There's nothing unhealthy about that and the implication that something is wrong with Abbey's diet because she isn't as thin as she used to be is 1) nonsense, 2) promotes disordered eating and anorexia and 3) very focused on appearances without any knowledge or facts like her actual height and weight. I am a doctor, and I can't tell whether somebody has anaemia by looking at them. That would make my job a whole lot easier, but in the world of real medicine, I need to spend time taking a patient history and doing a blood test. I guess Freelee isn't just claiming to know more about nutrition than registered dieticians, but now she's also claiming to be a better diagnostician than doctors.
@moths from neptune Wow, more than 11+ years of medical knowledge and more than 4+ years of nutrition knowledge without having taken a single class. She's quite the savant. With that genius, she could be doing so much more, how benevolent of her to use her valuable time making UA-cam videos for us poor ignorant souls instead. Thanks Freelee
The only kind of diet a dietician is supposed to be promoting is a healthy one. If a dietician rejected meat and dairy as viable food for consumption I can't imagine they'd know what they're talking about at all. Likewise if they dismissed veganism as impossible to do and still be healthy.
Abbey has always read as someone who's pro-eating healthy and doing the best you can given your situation and circumstances, which sounds like a pretty damn good mindset to me.
thank you. yes. because not everyone can have the same diet as our bodies are all different. a dietician should look at the health and allergies and recommend something balanced according to that. I for one would die on a vegan raw fruit heavy diet cause I’m allergic to most fruits and most veggies, along with beans, wheat, corn and yeast. But since I’m also allergic to eggs and fresh milk, I walk the line of both. Sometimes taking a vegan recipe because it’s egg free but changing the veggies and adding chicken because I can’t get proteins through beans
@@melz6625 what the hell do you eat oh my god, I assume you have to take a lot of supplements 😯
mylilcupcake1992 If you go to a doctor and request a allergy test they will do one. I think they send you to another place tho. Allergy tests are very accurate, the ones you buy online are probably less accurate. The ones in the doctors office they prick your back in certain areas with the allergens and they wait x amount of time and then document it. Its not that bad, but itches like hell
That is what I enjoy in her reviews she adapts her criticism based on the persons diet. If the person she is reviewing is vegan she tries to give VEGAN alternatives or things they should take for their health. She always promotes eating vegetables but also eat other things our body needs. I also like how she always gives a warning for people that might be more sensitive with EDs topics. I am fairly new to her content but I enjoy her content. Its very educational and I like how she doesn't try to push a "you should eat like this" type of agenda... and simply promotes healthy meals. (Since I am fairly new I didn't really see any of her more problematic past but hey if someone does a mistake we tell them about it instead of hating on them...well unless they committed an actual crime).
Meat, sure. But I genuinely cannot think of a situation in which dairy is “good” for you except when you’re breastfeeding as a child. I could just be missing something though.
I think people don’t understand that in order for veganism to be a sustainable lifestyle, you have to be tolerant and understand where people are coming from. It’s much easier to have an influence on someone’s lifestyle and food choices if you offer them realistic options and solutions rather than blaming them and asking for a drastic change overnight. This is the rhetoric that Freelee has been pushing for a long time (and let’s not forget her super weird insane videos with Durianrider)...I’ve been a vegan for 6 years and it’s much more rewarding to have an open dialogue with someone and see them change because they want to, I’m not going to shove slaughterhouse videos down their throats just to make a point.
Camille Charasse agreed, and i think part of the problem is also the black-and-white thinking of “either you’re 1000% vegan, or you’re not and you’re horrible. switch overnight!” instead of promoting veganism in a gentler way with baby steps etc. if you’re vegan i know it can be frustrating watching people “make excuses” but the way that the average omnivore will switch is with baby steps and a lot of encouragement, not blaming
OMG exactly this, 100%!!!
Camille Charasse big part of the problem is vegans talking about veganism as if it was the best diet for ur body or as if it's gonna solve ur specific problem (acne, weight,...) - when that's simply not true! this idealization leads to disappointment and people usually can't keep up w anything extreme. wouldn't it be much better to make a few vegan meals per week? making slow progress by learning new recipes and what works for that person/family..? vegans seem to be drawn to extreme views and anything unconventional. the best way to promote veganism is to be a positive example (like cooking for someone, bringing up the topic in a tactful manner etc). as u said, REALISTIC options are so much more approachable.
Ezra Leite idk if u know what happened w jon venus these past weeks. basically he is a vegan body builder and he admitted to eating like 3 eggs a year ago (apparently bc he has some anxiety about malnourishment, but it's not entirely clear). the drama around this is crazy. i'm not a fan of jon venus in gener but like the amount of hate he is receiving from vegans is insane and it rly makes veganism look horrible. people are splitting hairs about "plant-based" and "vegan" when none of these definitions matter in a practical sense. sorry to say, it gives me the impression that the vegan online community is a bunch of pretentious know-it-alls.
A big thing is also that Abbey is coming from a history of orthorexia, and for her personally, putting any sort of definition on how she eats (e.g. vegan) will trigger a relapse. Considering the HCLF era, I feel the perspective of being aware of how lifestyle choices impact us is very important.
LOL @ Freelee starting the video with complaining about the fact that Abbey's videos are more engaging and she has way less dead subscribers than Freelee (and of course the whole reason behind it is the big youtube algorithm conspiracy, which is definitely pushed by the meat industry amiright)
Freelee: ugh this is so fake and staged
*records in a fake tacky boho room with a ghetto greenscreen*
I think everyone needs to focus more on the ethical reasons for being vegan rather than the health reasons. Because let’s all be honest, any person can definitely be healthy vegan or not.
Yes!!! Health alone will never be a good reason to be vegan, if you're being honest. It's perfectly possible to be unhealthy on an unbalanced vegan diet, just as it's possible to be healthy while drinking an occasional glass of milk.
But at the same you need to remember some people just don’t care about animal cruelty.
@@kerlylapaine7093 Sadly that's true, but I don't think those are the majority. Many people don't like seeing slaughterhouse footage. And if animal cruelty isn't going to sway someone you can still talk about human health (specifically antibiotic resistance and pathogens introduced into the food supply. Listeria and e.coli on veggies often come from manure. In some places in Germany the ground water is contaminated with all the nitrates from manure on the fields), there's pollution of low income neighbourhoods, climate change, cutting down rain forests for feed crops. I think the biggest change will come when we have cultured meat (a lot of people are just not happy replacing meat with just beans, tofu or even the current meat substitutes on the market that are a) just not the same and b) several times more expensive. But once you have products that actually taste like meat, have a good texture, that are fortified with nutrients like B12, that's when we're going to see a real decline in animals being bred to suffer and die)
I agree. I thought this channel was about being an ethical Vegan but see it's only about making money
I dont really care about the animal suffering, i have to admit that. I also prefer real furr and leather over fake furr & leather (mainly because it's not as bad for the environment like products). But i do care about the environment - and the effects the bad quality meat had on my health and the people close to me.
I stopped caring about animals because a lot of 'angry' vegans love to use that argument. I mean the people around and close to me are not doing fine, why should i care about a pig if we still have child poverty and low income families and poor people having to suffer? (those who also couldn't afford her lifestyle, ever.)
I swear freelee sounds like she's always on the verge of a mental breakdown. I'm actually concerned for her
FirstFallSnow she’s clinically insane.
She’s a very unhappy person
You're right she's almost crying.
I’ve come to learn that most people aren’t going to go vegan, not cold turkey at least. Even living with my dad (non veg) and begging him to stop eating animals didn’t work. But gradually he’s swapped countless products for vegan options, and he’s become so much more plant based without even consciously realizing it. I used to be a more extremist vegan, angry and sad all the time, but now I cherish even the small steps people are taking toward less cruel lifestyles.
If you want people to be vegan you have to cook them good vegan recipes that works with their health (my parents are now more open to veganism because I showed them it can be very tasty and make you feel full).
same!!! my dad was incredibly against veganism but now, almost 2 years later, ive got him to enjoy plantbased food and implement plantbased meals into his day-to-day routine. we even made a fully vegan thanksgiving dinner last month!! its definitely better to take a “lead by example” approach with the people around you skeptic of veganism.
Summer Larson “cRuEL LiFeStYLE”
Swapping slowing and adding more things into the diet vs taking out is the BEST and MOST EFFECTIVE way for someone to be a vegan long term. It’s hard for a lot of people to make everything change overnight. I agree it’s very important to slowly start introducing more plant based options
How's your dad's HbA1C?
I don’t mean this rude but Freelee literally puts the LEAST amount of effort into her videos. Not just educational information but literal video quality and content. The bar is wayyyy higher than it was 10 years ago on UA-cam. Her videos look like they were posted when UA-cam started lmao
I find this actually not to be true at all and i think she puts more and more effort into her videos lately......and i M not a freelee fanatic, but i respect her work.
She plays the same clips over and over again in different videos as well. Just irritating and dull
Emily Shaffer I think the opposite
She is extremely in depth and thorough
How do you know if she doesn‘t put enough effort into her videos? She has a message she wants to put through and if you don‘t tolerate it, just ignore her.
@@tajj7630 Agreed. Her channel is dying because she is completely unrelatable like nobody lives like her and she can't comprehend how privelaged she is.
Didn't Freelee attack Abbey for reviewing one of her videos and file a copyright claim that shut down Abbey's video? ... and yet Freelee has a long history of using and reviewing other UA-camr's WIAD videos. Hypocrite much? As to Abbey, I really like her videos. She brings a much needed educated opinion to the wild west that is internet health and wellness.
Thank you for discussing the eating disorder perspective. I am in recovery from a 30+ year battle with anorexia. It is a very delicate line I walk with wanting to be vegan for totally ethical reasons and not allowing the ED to take over, so I can not be a "strict" vegan. The internet is a very judgmental place but everyone needs to do what is best for them.
Well said. It’s also worth reminding people that your ethics should involve taking care of yourself, I would be infinitely less effective at bringing good into the world if I did something so likely to cause me to relapse as restricting my diet and starting to check ingredients lists again. I’m not helping any animals if I’m dead. We’re not bad people for trying to survive.
Yes, you can only do what is good for you. I just want to say I want to congratulate you on your recovery ❤🎂🥳
I am so happy you're in recovery best wishes to you
that's exactly right amy! we can all only do our best
Also, about Orthorexia, yes there isn't a diagnostic category specifically called Orthorexia. BUT, there is a wider or broader category in the diagnostic manual (the DSM-V) called Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) which includes the symptoms that make up orthorexia as well as including other similar clinical problems. There are a number of "umbrella categories" in the DSM. It's similar to how Autism is a broad spectrum category that includes higher end autistic symptoms as well as lower-functioning end autistic symptoms and all in between; so just because, let's say HFA (high functioning autism) isn't a separate category in the DSM doesn't mean that it's fake and doesn't exist. Many people have Asperger's or some other form of HFA which are diagnosed under the umbrella category. Orthorexia is a real thing, and it's NOT just selective or picky eating.
THANK YOU!
Just because it isn't a diagnostic category doesn't mean it isn't a real problem!
@@fuckerwhopings9110 who said it wasn't a problem?
@@bonesonstones1 Freelee did.
Absolutely, you can be vegan or follow any other food plan without any issues but there are some people who do develop an eating disorder. It’s something to be aware of and seek help if there might be a problem. Denying this helps no one and hurts the cause.
@@angelwings1979 I was ready to have an issue with your phrasing if nothing else but you pulled it back in the end, it started off sounding like you were saying anyone can not anyone can*
*unless they cant then they cant
I still cannot believe Jenna opened her home to freelee years ago and then has the balls to say she doesn’t like them now 😂 she needs to get a life. I’m a vegan that watches abbey sharp, I enjoy to hear different views on things 👍🏻
Also, still saying that Jenna still supports her and loves her content. I doubt that Jenna even supports or will ever promote Freelee after Freelee decides to target her and nitpick her videos.
Besides, I think Jenna and Julien has a more positive influence than Freelee will ever have.
Freeliar is DELUSIONAL
Freelee claiming "my subscriber numbers are bigger than yours" sounds like boys comparing length and girth 🤢
Tom Jones same jealousy, different feature 😂 you’re so right though
"Fake, staged approach," girl, look at your backdrop. It's a video. It's not a vlog. Of course, it's staged!
It's hilarious too because freelee is in front of a Living Room™️ green screen
the green screen looks weird! lol
And yet fl can't put money on an actually decent mic. They're not that fucking expensive, and you won't sound like you're in a chamber full of peanut butter.
Freelee’s whole being is fake 😂
I love Abbey's thoughts on intuitive eating and how she breaks down disordered eating talk in youtubers. I pretty much never watch What I Eat In A Day vids because they always used to be so triggering and i didn't know why, unless they're yours...or Abbey's lol9
Yeah ngl I've been reducing my consumption of dairy and animal products thanks to Abby, basically what I do is progressively reduce consumption of the products till I'm able to eliminate it completely from my diet so that it doesn't feel restrictive. What scares people going to veganism is going smack bang remove this and that completely but it's easier for people to adjust to it if people slowly remove something and replace it with a better item.
Yes veganism is about reducing as much cruelty to animals but in order to make people change is to make the change not something uneasy or scary for a person.
Yes yes totally agree!
I wanna know how many shirts you have sold 👀
Tiff!
YES, best commentary channel
HI MOM!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
The perfect crossover does not ex.....
Your body changes after carrying a child. Abby has had a child in between the two comparisons.
You can get back into shape, but your body does change permanently in some ways. It just does.
@Majesty Hill yes you can lose the weight, but your pelvic bone structure can change permanently too. Not to mention your bust is never the same. It's not weight or stretch marks I'm talking about. It is body shape.
Majesty Hill not weight but body shape. Your breasts are never the same and your pelvic and hip bones stretch out and they do not go back. I even gained a shoe size and it’s been 4 years. Some changes are forever
@Majesty Hill There are reasons your weight could change. I mean for one, you will now be dealing with the stress of caring for a child for the next 18 years, you can't look at rich vegans and khardasians who can pay people to look at their kids, and afford trainers and everything else as an example of whats possible. Its not feasible for most people, and for those women, its their job to look good, they have more motivation than anyone.
Besides emotional reasons and lifestyle changes, your hormones are altered during and after pregnancy. It's rough on your body and it can be diffcult and sometimes dangerous to do certain exercises after recovery. Not to mention, your body just changes as you get older, and your metabolism is not the same.
Please don't ever leave UA-cam. It would crush my selfish heart.
my blood boils having someone diminish eating disorders like freelee, i was vegan for years and absolutely cannot do it anymore because of my ED. i do my best and absolutely dont eat meat but if i add stress factors or strict restrictions to my eating i will lose it
ggzh a Argue With Everyone Can you not take an uniformed inventory of someone’s diet when they say they’ve suffered from an eating disorder? It’s none of your business, and I can say, being in recovery from anorexia, it’s really unhelpful. They expressed that they are doing the best they can and don’t need judgement or assumptions from a stranger who has no insight into their diet
nounof I completely relate. I wish I could be vegan again too, but right now I need to be realistic about what I need to do to stay in recovery from my ED. I work in the mental health field and know I need to take care of myself if I want to help others. Good luck in your recovery.
Agreed, she thinks it's just an excuse.
Same. My anorexia made me absolutely obsessive about being vegan and my restriction got horrible extreme. Now, I can be vegetarian and healthy(ish) but trying to be 100% vegan just triggers the heck out of me
@Christine Bunyan
"and don’t need judgement or assumptions from a stranger who has no insight into their diet"
How was a even remotely judgemental or made any assumptions?
Personally I love Abbey Sharp, I think she is fantastic. She is registered, she is educated in dietary health. Everyone has to understand that not everyone can eat a vegan diet. I had an eating disorder years ago and so it is not wise for me to adopt a vegan lifestyle, I should not restrict anything. Some people can not have vegan diet because they are allergic to nuts, nuts are in many vegan products. No diet should have a one size fits all approach, if you want to change diets consult a registered dietitian and doctor, because vegan diets and vegetarian diets seem like a good idea, but it may only be a good idea for some not all. We also have to think of food deserts. Some climates are not conducive to growing fruits and vegetables, take the Canadian North for example, fresh produce is incredibly expensive there, so indigenous people have resorted to their hunting past. Those communities rely on hunting animals for their food, but indigenous people understand the environment and animals better than we do. Let's stop victimizing people who can not have a vegan diet. Personally I help reduce animal suffering by buying cruelty free make up, and eating some vegan and vegetarian meals during my week. People do not have to go vegan to help the planet. I love Abbey because she fully understands how to read medical studies and interpret the data ( I am also able to understand studies, conduct studies and statistics because I went to school to get a degree in Sociology which is technically a science, good old scientific method) most people do not know how to interpret data in studies so we need individuals like Abbey especially when it comes to dietary health. Abbey understands the data because data is written for academics and people who work in a specific field of work and not ordinary people.This went a little off topic from your video, and as far as vegans go you are one of the most educated, Freelee is well on a completely different planet all together.
Wow I guess if have an eating disorder and are allergic to nuts you can’t stop eating them. Wow
For a natural blonde in Canada, abby''s practically sun-kissed and rosy.
I personally dont think your channel is going to die. Switch up the content and keep it consistent. Veganism is growing therefor more people should seek you out. And regardless that i disagree with you pretty often, i still sub, like your vids every time. I can understand your level of thinking and I think you are very reasonable. Dont get burnt out. Give yourself a break, but come back even better. It bothered me a bit, you putting limits on yourself and your channel. The sky is the limit
Emma G I 100% agree. I’m not a vegan, but I do try to eat plant based as often as I can. I came for the info but subscribe because I like the insight. It’s so... relieving to see a vegan who isn’t on a crash diet and who is pragmatic and realistic about what it takes to remain vegan.
I think part of it is it seems the more childish channels are on the down swing while a lesser mature UA-cam renaissance is on the up tick, let's be honest the youth are more into ticktock so the diehard youtube users are maturing
@clariboia anal the amount of irony in this statement cured my anemia
The only thing I like about Abbey is her breaking down all the nutrition in the meals and making people look closer at their "faves" diet. You do too but unfourtantly people see vegan in your name and nope. Abbey has dietician so people are more likely to believe her and possibly open their eyes to more than a beautifully plated "meal".
Well yeah.. dietitian is a protected title that takes 5 years to earn and you have to do work to maintain the title 🤔
I'm not trying to imply that Abbey didn't and doesn't work hard for her career, all I meant was that uv was the first person I'd ever seen break down how much of each vitamins and minerals people were getting. I also said what I liked about the format of abbeys videos....im not implying she only does one thing right. I don't personally vibe with her but I do appreciate how she, a person who studied hard for her title of registered dietitian, breaks down what's really important in someone's diet. Of course people should believe her, that's her field of choice and she worked/works hard to keep up to date with her field of knowledge. I'm not wording things correctly, I need sleep. I wasn't trying to shade Abbey, I appreciate what she's doing but she's not personally for me.
My point was that Abbey has more potential to reach a larger audience to point out if an "influencer" is promoting an unhealthy diet. Like I said unnatural vegan was the first person I had seen breakdown people's what I eat in a day videos like that but since vegan is in her channel name, they might not click. I'd never try to diminish another person's education and career field....i was trying to give them both props, poorly expressed that.
I do think "Unnatural" is a brilliant adjective for UV to have chosen -- it's been curious enough to be able to lure some of my non-vegan friends into watching some of her videos; because they think -- _Wait, what does she mean by that?_
But it's true some people won't watch anything with "vegan" in the channel name. 😕
@@zxyatiywariii8 That's exactly how I ended up here. I'm not vegan but I was like what does unnatural vegan mean? Lol I'm new so I still don't have the answer but I've enjoyed her videos so far 🤷♀️ They're very informative
my question is why is freelee sitting in front of a green screen of a home study rather than her own home or a blank greenscreen???🤔
I get a headache from it. I mean, she's off grid, isn't she? And she living at some idyllic place at the jungle, why is she not using that as a background. Or even her kitchen? This green screen is ridiculous. And she does look weird in front of it....
@@BlackIceDragonSalome i completely agree!!
Gotta cover up those banana peel piles.
Freelee, we live in Canada, girl. We're lucky if we can spend 3 or 4 months out of the year in the sun. We are not anemic.
Haha exactly
You used to always pop up in my recommended! I recently subscribed but I’m not a vegan - but I find your content interesting and you’re really likeable!
Hannah I’m not a vegan either, I just find Swayze interesting!
Samsies! I’m 16 years ovo-lacto-pescatarian (age 33, so like almost half my life) but I’ve never felt shamed for that on this channel.
Same here! She grew in me really quick lol
Same! I'm omnivorous and try to eat less meat but there are some things we need in this house. Also my husband was vegan for a while as a child and it did bad things to his cognitive abilities. Not going to do that to him while he's the primary income earner in our home.
Same!
I feel lucky to have been brought up on distinctly unimpressive beige omnivorous food in 70s suburbia - so once I left home and learned to cook veggies properly, there was no going back !
At 59 years old I massively prefer preparing my own simple food from basic ingredients.
Man I love Pick up limes. It's not only yummy recipes but so aesthetically pleasing and elegant.
I don't think it's bad for you to say how many shirts you've sold. Maybe if you were some big-time corporation, gleefully rolling in money then I'd be like, "ok, settle down." But you're just an individual kinda proud of your accomplishments and the support you're receiving from people. I think that's fine.
People click on Freelee when she's at her craziest, because crazy entertains some people. Abbey actually has good scientific information, good vegan recipes, and really is a voice of reason even when she's evaluating someone else's channel. Now, Abbey isn't 100% vegan, but she doesn't claim to be vegan either.
John D right, but if you really know Abbey, she pushes the meat and dairy industry pretty hard.
@@VioletBloom There are many things to care about in the world, but this isn't one of them. Why? Abbey specifically and frequently reminds people that she isn't vegan, so it's of course going to be common for her to offer food that has animal products. That said, Abbey is also positive about vegans and veganism when it's a balanced diet, and she features tons of vegan recipes. I choose to focus on that, because you can't fix what you think is a cultural problem by rejecting something mostly on your side. Many vegans want global, total change RIGHT NOW, but that's 100% impossible, and getting mad about reality isn't helping anyone.
She clicked with me years ago because I was also crazy (still mentally ill, but far more grounded in reality these days). I’m not sure if she still has some followers like that, but there were loads of us a decade ago.
@@sourgreendolly7685 Everyone has something problematic they're dealing with, me included, so you're absolutely not alone. I worry for the people still trusting in Freelee, genuinely. ❤️
John D that doesn’t mean she needs to be sponsored by the dairy industry, or keep videos posted of animal carcasses. Have you watch all of that? 🤨
Also Freelee supports that fruit couple you made a video on who only feed their baby fruit!!! That is child abuse
Of course she bloody does! Has she said something online about them?
@@passionspotatoes9182 yep fit shortie eats! She follows them on IG and likes their posts. She won't openly promote them thought as I think even her own audience would have concerns about feeding a baby just fruit. She chose Ellen as an example in her recent video as its less contraversial, at least Ellen does give her kids stuff other than fruit.
Imagine thinking you should feed your baby meat, dairy, and eggs🤢🤢bad parenting
@@user-ls4ev3gt8m I'm vegan - I think the way Abbey feeds her child is disgusting tbh and completely unhealthy. But I don't think feeding a baby JUST fruit is healthy either.
@@user-ls4ev3gt8m Babies can't survive on just fruit I have nothing against veganism at all just give your baby a proper vegan diet
Freelee promotes a diet that is known to be nutritionally deficient diet. Why does she not think of herself as morally wrong?
If Freelee's diet is nutrient deficient, why is she not nutrient deficient?
@@0xstev3 My point is she is using scientific research to support her in tearing down someone else for being irresponsible, even though the same research doesn't support her diet.
We can debate whether Freelee is nutritionally getting all she needs but it's a different debate. My comment is only to point out her hypocrisy.
She says protein is bad because ‘who doesn’t want to be skinny?’ Me, freelee! I don’t like being skinny. I want to be solid and muscular. I’d be a size 0 if I ate only 10% fat and 10% protein. Nothing wrong with that for small people, but I’m 6ft, and I like the intimidating Amazon look.
@@0xstev3 In stark contrast with your claim that she is not nutrient deficient, there is irrefutible evidence that the diet she promotes is. Your statament in incredible antiscience and antireason, and rather dangerous.
I don't hate Freelee. I hate what she's making others and herself do, which is emotional, mental and physical self-abuse.
Bailey Moran yeeess! 5’10 and love being a vegan who lifts weights and can intimidate men 😂
It’s really crazy how over the past couple months, I’ve found eating meat now basically completely repulsive. I’m not a perfect vegetarian, and I eat a cheeseburger a few times a year, but now looking at the preparation of any raw meat (and even like cooked chicken) grosses me out. I’ve also started finally cutting out most of the dairy in my life, except for cheese. Thank you for being such an inspiration and being logical as always! (I know you don’t read comments but still wanted to say it!)
No one:
Like litterally no one:
UA-cam: Jimmy Kimmel Live!!!!!
I know. ALL. THE. TIME! 😑
Wish they would stop
Freelee is a self-obsessed mess.
Abbey is informative and interesting and knows what she's talking about.
it's funny because during my worst days, struggling with my ED, I'd spend days on some weird ass Pro-Ana sites. There were pages over pages about Freelee and her diet and on how to get as skinny as her. She is Pro-Ana, she might not realize it but hell she is.
No she isn’t. I’m eating 3k calories x day on “her diet”. That’s the literal opposite. Stop spewing bs.
i've worked at eating disorder organizations, am getting my master's in social work, and have done countless research on eating disorders (in addition to having struggled and recovered from one myself). i have always found it incredibly problematic that freelee has claimed she cured her own eating disorder and other individuals' eating disorders with veganism. aside from the fact that "cured" is not the correct terminology to use, i truly believe she is not recovered from an eating disorder but her ED has just shapeshifted into her incredibly restrictive vegan diet. i appreciate you touching on this problematic part of freelee because people rarely do.
I especially love how she questions and criticizes Abby’s qualification on giving dietary advice when she has none 😍
I live abbey's videos about intuitive eating, because it is helping me in my recovery.
Ninjanova keep at it 💜💕❤️
Yay! Keep going! You are awesome!
Freelee reminds me of westboro Baptist church idk why I just get that correlation in my brain
Fruit is high in sugar and can cause tooth decay in brand new baby teeth, its smart to limit fruit to a serving or 2 a dsy
I feel bad that Freelee is so angry all the time.
It's probably from being constipated all the time from all the bananas.
Kiwi Koopa me too. I hope all of it is an exaggeration, but who knows?
All that stress must be bad for her
I think this is what happens to the spoiled, popular types.
I laugh when people bother with SEO (search engine optimisation). Google recommends results based on a user's previous behaviour. SEO for UA-cam videos just means tagging appropriate metadata, which will not increase SEO. We all have filter bubbles designed to show us links that support our opinions.
SEO is still relevant as it can still connect you to similar videos for the algorithm. Also people do search, it’s just not as often.
Well that's not entirely true. It constantly offers me links I've never clicked on.
UA-cam can be weird. It knows I love animals and veganism, and post-apocalyptic movies (weird combination, I know, lol) but sometimes it offers me the most bizarre videos for which I have zero interest and never would.
I don't know how they pick what to suggest, but sometimes they pick some strange things. . .
But I can't complain. I was subbed to Freelee when YT suggested Unnatural Vegan, and I'm eternally grateful they did! 🤗
I have some issues with Abbey Sharp, but amusingly enough they are things Freelee doesn't care about. For example, when she references science in a video, she pretty much never references the paper and often makes strong assertions based on what appears (from her description) to be a correlation study.
She links everything though.
Abbey is also suuuuuuuuper fake. Real her vs cultivated UA-cam persona.
@@trancelove1234 how come?
@@jug2024 To summarize, I was able to locate her personal information online and called the number I found to let her know this information was available. Given some of the vegan community backlash on her videos I though she would want to remove her personal information from public view. I called her at a regular time of day and the information was from a website where you can look up professionals. She was SO RUDE and sounded angry on the phone. The tone was "how DARE you contact me" on a publicly available number that also lists her married name and home address. Ok Abbey, sorry for trying to save you from unsolicited visits, all the best to you and your family.
@@trancelove1234 damn! When did this happen
I used to hatewatch Freelee on and off when I was like 17. Then I grew up lol.
KC I come here to hate watch her so I give UV my views and not Freelee 😂
"She installs doubt in people going vegan" UV was a huge catalyst for me going vegan but go off I guess
Never forget Freelee once told women in a video about abortions to "look up natural ways to have an abortion" 😲 that speaks volumes on the kind of person she is. (I'm pro choice but doing at home abortions is extremely dangerous).
She also thinks it's fine to feed a baby only fruit and that it's great that Ellen Fisher bakes her blonde haired blue eyed kids in the hawaii sun all day.
I did not realize she said that, wow. That’s disgusting
@@JaxiXD210XD yeah in her video called something like "why I didn't have a baby" she says I suggest you look into natural methods of abortion 😐 I can't believe the video is still on UA-cam she could really hurt people with that advice..
I really appreciate the fact that you give empathy to those with diseases having to avoid veganism. I have personally been challenged by several of my friends that are vegan to try the lifestyle several times and it’s landed me in the hospital for my autoimmune disease… I appreciate a lot of the information you go over in this video. I’ve been tuning into your channel nice the past four years five years. Happy I eventually found this video. You are extremely sensible and honest and I hope you can continue making videos for the long haul.
Hope you’re all being safe out there everyone🌹✊🏽🔥✌🏼
Alexandra Marks yeah, I have cystic fibrosis so it would very difficult and to almost impossible for me to go vegan. However, after my double lung transplant, I’m eating less because we just don’t need that many animal products
Abbey gave me the same reply. That she won't get involved in the drama. Yet it is like, "Hello. You make videos about other UA-camrs which are sometimes going to intiate drama."
While I see this point, Freelee also accused Abbey of using Freelee's name for clicks and SEO. So Freelee criticises her for using her name, then when Abbey doesn't use Freelee's name, she is also called out.
@Raquel Umm.. no
Honestly I found your channel from watching Abbey's video! Then I though you were cool so I stuck around. Abbey has a legitimate professional degree and it's nice to see a professional opinion that really just seems like she wants to help.
Freeleee and Unnatural Vegan agreeing in something. Wow. Incredible. I love how you are so fair with everybody.
I started watching Abbey's videos after you mentioned she'd reviewed your WIEAT, I just don't watch the meat ones. I like her attitude to food and her anti-diet stance and, personally, I think her not being vegan but promoting vegan recipes and talking objectively about meat is likely to convince others to reduce their meat consumption far more than someone like Freelee (who I have never watched) yelling about how evil meat eaters are.
I disagree with you about the SEO/keto thing. I don't see a problem with tagging a keto friendly meal as keto friendly, it's just a fact and why wouldn't she want more views? And there's always a chance that people who are keto will watch that one and then find her other keto videos which explain the dangers, etc. She doesn't say in the video "yay keto! Keto is great," it just happens to be a keto meal.
I think you both make a great point about the farm visit though. If you're going to show "the whole process," you should show the whole process, not only the parts that can be dressed up to be happy and lovely. That's so common on TV and stuff too, at least in the UK. So many chefs and that will do segments or shows following food "from farm to plate" or whatever but the abattoir never gets a look in.
p.s. It's neesh! (although this is a Brit vs American thing!)
Have you seen "Vegan Deterioration" videos? The deterioration in question is just women aging and not using fillers anymore for the most part. I would LOVE to see some responses to those.
I like some of Freelee's videos, but her vanity envy and pure jealousy over other women, is really off putting.
ugh how can you like her
@@onlysoraya I find her videos on Alyse, to be hilarious.
She’s a narcissist. Ick
Agreed
I have never understood why people like Freelee praise fruit so much but seem to forget about vegetables? If I remember correctly (it's been a long time since watching her videos) the only vegetable she used to eat is plain lettuce in the form of her ridiculous lettuce cups lol. Like vegetables are so, so, so crucial for health and wellbeing. I don't get why she is so focused on fruit, and fruit only.
She is addicted to sugar. I am vegan and I wouldn't be able to be one without all the veggies, pasta, potatoes etc.
@@iva7899 Omg same! I tried Raw Till 4 way back in the day, and I suffered the worst veggie cravings! I need veggies, I can't thrive on mostly fruit, especially where we live and winters are often MINUS 20 Fahrenheit. Nothing like a nice hot veggie stew on a cold day! 😋😊
I enjoyed freelees asmr and off grid-rainforest living phase soooo much. Where she just wasn't talking about others, she seemed in a very good place, so sad to see that she went fully back to her lame attack/callout format.
Ikr her rainforest vids were my favorite! She also is more serene and happy in those.
Freelee says abbys fake yet she is filming in a fake green screen studio
Swayze....I just saw a week ago that Abbey left a comment on one of your insta picture for a collab. And then you make this video. Girl you savage :D
Marija Stojic woudlnt be suprised if swayze got paid by abbeys people to make this video😂😂😂
Given that she said she's very behind with instagram I feel like she probably didn't see it. But who knows?
jackrussel999 Maybe ... but then again I think that picture only had 24 comments which is pretty easy to go through. Even the notification would be easy to not miss
@@fuubitch Hi freelee
Freelee's logic: "Any one who isn't 100% an ethical vegan, discussing the downsides of a HCLF/raw till 4 diet and don't support me is a shill for meat and dairy." But also "i can be critical of more successful and popular influencers who aren't vegan, as they don't look like me and are negatively impacting their young female audience into disordered eating habits.
I MUST STOP THEM REEEEE!! Having any weight fluctuations is simply because you are starving yourself and not eating enough because you're not a HCLF vegan like me and if you want to consistently skinny then eat like me!"
Also Freelee "Don't criticise me cause you hate "the truth" slapping you in the face and you are jealous of my results and hard work. I'm a better vegan that you are because I do for the animals and don't give a fuck about your feelings. But also, i have helped 100's of people lose weight and i don't promote disordered eating cause look at me! I'm not fat, you'e not doing raw till 4 the wrong way! Just harden the fuck up, stop making excuses, cut the bullshit and you will feel 100% as you are 100% in control of everything in your life and that you can control your feelings and emotions and snap out of depression or anxiety."
Claims to be a feminist and being part of the sisterhood, yet shames some women for the way they look, if they personally choose to (and not forced to do so) shave, wear makeup or wear high heels. I am aware that wearing high heels, shaving or wearing makeup isn't necessary at all but may perpetuate unrealistic body standards and poor self-esteem issues. Freelee should also be aware that she promotes unrealistic body standards herself by stating women should be skinny like her, have a thigh gap and having no periods is good.
She is in no position to tell others how to lose weight, as she has never been overweight/obese in her life and not has the education/training to understand nutrition. BTW the Australian Institute of Fitness has no record of her attending the college and she made it up to boost her credibility.
Truth. She is a joke.
Freelee reminds me of a 4 year old who won't stop saying "look at me! look at me!" even though the adults are trying to talk.
Freelee is so weirdly narcissistic lmao she really thought she invented WIAT videos
If she eats 40 bananas a day then she invented the "What I shit in a day" videos.
I love Pick Up Limes. Saadiya oozes calmness and happy vibes.
Freelee needs to acknowledge she does more harm to her cause then good. I'll watch your videos, Jenna and julien, even a few other vegan centered channels think to myself I can cut out meat more often. Then I watch freelee and I'm back to the mentality veganism is a cult, she undoes so much work by demonizing others...when she picked on Jenna about Graham crackers she called herself out on in the video. So all the good Jenna and especially julien does with their fun, vegan food videos is undone because julien wasn't paying attention and grabbed the wrong box, Jenna acknowledged it to her very large audience but they are terrible vegans. Freelee makes vegans look bad, she's like a woman tearing down another woman for being a working mom then saying she's a feminist. Huh?
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 I agree!
I can't think of anyone who would go vegan after watching her videos. I'm sick of this labeling mentality, just try to eat as little meat and animal products as possible (ideal = none, but every effort is good) and that's it. Labeling literaly only helps when eating out, buying food, someone cooks for you etc.
Just make up your own mind. If your heart wants to reduce animal products then do it, & have common sense & cut out negative social media like Freelee. It doesn't make sense to continue to take in garbage like Freelee, especially if she's reversing good intentions. This is a huge problem with vegans in socism media & why I pretty much don't consume it. I subscribe to Liv B & this channel & literally no other social media anywhere. Been vegan nearly six years, learned the hard way, which I think is the only way we all have to go. Take it all in, burn out, make the decision to take in only that which is positive & suits
Freelee needs to acknowledge she does more harm to her cause then good
But she won't because then her self-worth (what's left of it) and business model collapses, someone that obsesses about a particular fad or uses ad-hominems to attack things she doesn't like superficially about other UA-camrs and then promotes pseudoscience and conspiracy theories isn't rational enough to be able to assess their own behaviour.
I feel sorry for any customer service worker that has the misfortune of dealing with freelee
😂
I love that you're so realistic and that you know when a reaction is extraordinary in relation to most of human society, despite your own biases. I'm not a vegan but I still love your channel because i think you really offer a great perspective on health, diet, and youtubers in general.
I really like Abbey. Her message on self love and intuitive eating is awesome and has helped me a lot. 💙
Why am I even shocked to hear Freelee compare eating meat to rape and pedophelia? That’s a good example as to why youtube would be less likely to promote her too 🤦🏻♀️
they basically have to rape the animals with artificial insemination and collecting semen. I'm sure the people aren't doing it to get sexual pleasure the way rapists do but for the animal it's rape. Now pedophilia on the other hand I don't see the comparison lol. Freelee just being extreme and trying to get attention.
how to be like freelee:
1) abrasively attack anyone with a different view
2) bake your eperdermis in the sun until you resemble a leather couch (so healthy!)
3) drink litres of fruit enough to give you type 2 diabetes and send your colon into chaos
4). Have fake animal-tested tits while lecturing other women about the perils of "beauty duty".
moths from neptune the SUGAR holy moly that’s so unhealthy
@@mroctober3657 Then just leave said animal tested tits to rot inside of you when you are supposed to leave implants in for a maximum of 20 years (she had them done in 2001)because doctors and modern medicine are bad and without them she wouldn't be "body goals" just look like a preteen boy. But fuck beauty duty right guys? 😂
5) don’t be a total shit human
Freelee is extremely self-centered and thinks everyone criticizing her does so to profit from her fame. This is anecdotal but I wouldn't even know who Freelee was if it weren't for UV.
also, she's coming for ya...
Freelee is jealous of abbey's active fan base and high production quality. It's kind of awkward. Also keto "can" be dangerous. It's a sometimes thing. It's good for some people with very specific body types, but it makes 0 sense for a diet for a skinny person imo for like "mood" or something. Some people tout keto in the same way they tout essential oils.
High carb is more dangerous than keto.
@@tomjones2157 I feel like full-blown Keto would be worse than high carb if we're talking long term since it's all about not having enough calories. You can't really compare the two. High carb people are just fat. a lot of italians and bakers are on high carb. I think only eskimos and carnivores are on an all keto diet constantly.
@@tomjones2157 high carb is definitely not as dangerous as keto. Keto can cause kidney failure
When you said that being veganism is voluntarily doing the right thing, that hit me differently! So rarely do I ever feel praised for my choices by the vegan community. I just feel like I'm "normal". But hearing you tell me what I'm doing is incredibly hard and special and actively celebrating my choices actually makes me so happy.
She critiques Abbey for "fake production quality" while she literally has the entire backgraud generated on a green screen.
Kids. I used to say "You're driving me up the wall!" and my son would always respond "But you're not on the wall, Mommy." I also have said "You're pissing me off." So a few weeks ago in my FB memories I was reminded of the time he got frustrated with me and said, "You're pissing me up the wall!"
I'm not vegan but I love...LOVE your videos. I've been subscribed for a few months now :-)
Well Freelee has actually done like three videos on Abby. Freelee has like 3 channels too. I use to be a big Freelee fan but then she just became too much of a toxic vegan. I mean I tried her diet and it didn’t work for me at all. I respect that sometimes being a vegan is a privilege. And I respect that not everyone’s body’s are the same. But at least Abby has been transparent with her sponsors. I enjoy watching Abby on occasion but I can’t watch Freelee anymore.
Hey, I think you should check out Aga in America. She's a polish youtuber, but she lives in the US. So, basically, she's a raw vegan fruitarian (she eats mainly fruits). She has two kids, one is like 3,5 yrs old and one is 14 months old. She feeds them only fruits too, they're really skinny (especially the younger one) and he also has symptoms of rickets. This is really sad. She fed her son breast milk from other vegan women at first, but then she stopped and started to feed him some vegan-homemade "formula" instead of real formula milk. She's quite popular in Poland, people talk about her a lot and try to help her children, but well, it's not working. She still thinks fruitarian diet is the best diet on Earth and she believes it's healthy and can cure everything. She even wrote a book full of fake "facts"! Of course, Aga doesn't "believe" in doctors, she admitted that her kids have never seen a doctor and they aren't vaccinated. I honestly feel very sorry for them. There was plenty of videos showing what her kids eat in a day, it's only smoothies, juices and raw fruit, she deleted some of them when people noticed how unhealthy they look. I think this case needs to be more popular, the poor children are in danger
She made her Instagram private now because of all the “negative” ( concerning) comments . Both her and her husband need to go into a long term eating disorder program and someone in their family that loves the kids needs to start adding a balanced diet with eggs, cheese, meat and dairy. They don’t want CPS involved. They make a living off this diet it seems. I’m mean, what do they even do for money I wonder. These UA-camrs that expose their babies to the world shoving cameras in their face is beyond anything I’ll ever understand. Before I post my kids I first ask them if they like the pic and my account is private. Most the time they hate the pics I love ( such a mom thing)) but I respect that and don’t post anything they don’t want me to.
"Is it nitch or neesh" it's actually both. I found that out after having a big argument with my parents about the pronunciation of niche. They're actually both 100% correct pronunciations!
Sorry, if the word niche is the same as in French (where it means something very specific with few people interested in it, for example vegan cheeses being a niche in the cheese market or cheese industry) then it's definitely "neesh" (not nitch) =)
I started watching your channel and Abbey's around the same time a few months ago, and one of the things I love about both channels is that you guys are clearly open to criticism and admitting when you're wrong and improving yourself. Some of Abbey's recent videos have bits that were filmed later in a different location, because she changed her mind about something between filming and editing. You do a similar thing with a voice over when you realize something might have been left out or unclear in your video. I don't know if Freelee has ever showed that much willingness to change.
That being said, if Abbey still has her older stuff up and monetized, it's fair game for criticism. Some of her old videos are super cringey, and don't match with her current views and presentation style. For me, the bit where freelee hit the nail on the head was wrt to Abbey's sponsorships, where she'll use buzzwords like keto in a product promo, even tho she avoids diet lingo in the rest of her content. I don't blame her for taking sponsorships, but I wish she was a little more thoughtful about the ones she accepts.
Just to be a diet tech (2 yr degree in dietetics) you have to have hundreds of clinical hours. Usually in hospitals, long term care facilities, and community nutrition programs.
Coe Hart true. I did the program.
@@ShortyP98 I'm finishing up.
And to be a dr you only need 20 hrs of training.
Y'all have to do periodic CMEs too, right? (Continuing medical education seminars)
zxy atiywariii yes
You are the best channel you're respectful, you're so intelligent and you are REASONABLE. You have so much empathy and you're tactics are amazing at educating people. Keep doing you! Your children are so lucky to have such a caring aware mother
I think we can all agree its a good thing that a professional nutritionist doing advice videos has advanced past a "vlogging from my bedroom"-setup.
