Editing this video made me realize that I was just reacting and never took a moment to say that she is obviously really talented and creative. I think it's good to see the full person even if you disagree with what they say.

Also, one huge point I didn't make is around her seeing eating local as the ultimate solution. However, a cargo boat shipped banana is likely to have a way lower footprint than local beef from down the steet. The equation isn't as simple as distance. I hope she learns about these things and once again returns to the nutritional yeast chrysalis 🤣

It seems like she had an ED and is blaming it on veganism. It’s sad that people will do anything including hurting animals in this way just for some likes. Edit: she clearly never watched those animal docs because if she had she wouldn’t be drinking goats milk, eating cheese or muscle and organs of a cow. So sad and gross

Thanks for being an ethical vegan and the voice of scientific reason. The world is a better place with brave and compassionate people like you who are willing to publicly challenge social norms and dare to care beyond their own selfish desires. The animals are dying by the billions as we speak so now, more than ever, in the face of so many internet lies, we must keep up the pace. Stay loud.

I’m vegan and my nurse described my blood results as “amazing”

[Kristers_K]

She seems very young, very gullible and clueless, and my first impression makes me want to draw the conclusion that she wasn't eating enough and was eating poorly in general. Been vegan for nearly a decade, longer than her and the only time i struggled was in the begginning as i wasn't eating enough calories and didn't consume enough nutritionally adequate foods, as in, whole foods.
Not only i have felt extremely well this whole time, but my health has become beter than it was in my childhood/teens, no more lethargy, amazing digestion, more energy, strength, etc.
P.S. Her ''hunter'' act is borderline cringe. The picture of a tiny little girl with a bow seems really off.

16 years vegan for me. At 52 years old I have more energy than my 20 year old self. When people eliminate carbs and calories they eventually fail. Just eat good, whole vegan foods and exercise for vegan success! Good video Mike!!

[Corilo]

It's always a pleasure to listen to you! You taught me to go directly to the scientific data instead of believing stuff I read on the internet just because it supported my ideas! :)

[iis.]

Those ex-vegans, they have the same stupid script.

[Osiwan]

she uses so many words just to say "i want to support the animal cruelty holocaust slaughterhouses again so here's my rationalization"

[sidilicious]

She’s young and jumping on and off different diets, thinking the current one is the one true way. Youth, idealism, experimentation...

[vderak]

How can people go backwards after knowing? I've had many crazy dreams too but I wouldn't want to do these in real life. Dreams are dreams, not reality. People are stupid.

[koloblicin]

she was having prophetic dreams from being vegan for 4 years and just miserably interpreted them
so sad.

[akilahbrooklyn]

The meat industry sent them a YouTube check.

[Tonii]

Her agenda is obvious 🤦‍♀️ views over everything.

[davidsgardell]

Sad to see another Live King inspired business person. The trend is on the rise and these guys need to act fast, before this buzz/fad will disappear. I've been vegan since 2005 and would say my health is above average. Well I know it is, they invited us in for a check up when we turned 40 and everything was fine - unlike for other people my age group. 
It's problematic that these individuals have access to a huge platform. And to a long term vegan, there's no doubt in my mind, these people are either just making crap up or they were they were eating like tiny birds. 
Sadly we never see their blood works, and we never hear them talking about what the doc or dietitian suggested they should be doing to correct their issue. With regular omnis, when they are having health problems, they will be suggested blood work, supplements, etc. But with these guys, it's always the mysterious missing nutrient, only found in animal products. 
If it's not for money, social media, etc like in her case, I think it's just them not wanting to be vegan and are trying to tell themselves that they are still being a decent person, even if they are part of the sick and twisted horror movie that the animal industry is.

You're looking and sounding rough dude. I hope when your fall comes, you don't get this much arrogance from your prior friends.

[Advanced_Arch_Way]

This video is why vegans have a bad rep of being cult-like. Mic, she made her decision, its her life, why not chill and live your life instead of spewing hate because she’s not agreeing to your cultish narrative.

[spiral-m]

She has been paid and it smells highly strategic i.m.o. I think it is calculated

[plant-basedpeasant]

Most "ex-vegans" only quit Veganism bc they start dating a meat eater and are so desperate to relate and gain acceptance from their partner...No true vegan will ever become an "ex-vegan" bc u don't just stop caring about animals once you've made the connection. 🤦‍♀️🌱🤔

[ccamire]

If you start commenting on all the ex vegans, that may take you decades to do.
