You're Vegetarian But So Fat. WTF?!

Yes, people ask me this. They actually ask me this. The answer seems obvious but thought I would explain. Also, this is a new mini-series I will be doing to talk about food, me, and everything in between. Thank for watching the very first What The Fork?! with Jerry James Stone.

It's a legitimate question. If your eating "healthy" one would reason being thin with health, not the opposite.

[fraeni]

Yeah, who asks that question - it's so RUDE! I'm on the petite side and people sometimes think it's ok to comment that I should eat more 😑
Just ignore the assholes and do you...which is cooking and sharing amazing recipes I'm super grateful for ☺️🙌🏻

[peterrodby]

Answer the damn question. YOU brought it up.

[debmann]

you're right so incredible how rude people are and it's none of their bees wax! anyway, i've gone whole food plant based due to health reasons and I've lost an incredible amount of weight by doing so. from what I read, it's not the quantity of the food, or carbs, but the oil. oil is pure fat that get's absorbed in the blood stream immediately so it's a true statement when they say from you lips to your hips when it comes to fat. i am loving your channel and recipes. if you feel inclined, i would love to see more ways to cook veg dishes that add great flavor without as much oil. i have not given up unrefined fats like avocado and nuts/seeds. thanks

I am vegetarian. And I am overweight. But I have lost alot of weight now. I can speak from my own experince. I love cakes, cheese, chips, but I have change my lifestyle and eat healthy now. But it is possible to be both fat and vegetarian, even vegan (I am not vegan by the way). I know a very overweight vegan person, she loves sugar and she love to eat food with alot of calories. Plant based oil also contain alot of calories . She like to make homemade "dairy" chockolate with soy-milk. She makes creamy cakes with palnt based cream. She love to make pai with alot of plantbased so it is possible to live unhealthy even for vegan

It's rude that people think it's ok to ask you simply because you have a blog and YouTube channel they forget you'd have feelings too.

[HelenaMikas]

You are brilliant Jerry and you are what you eat and enjoy is so true ..You are always so very happy ...Stay Jerry James Stone ..* Greetings Helena :)

That was discouraging. Though vegans would be thin but now it confirms this, vegans eat a lot of process foods.

[MrAndresm]

Some *vegans* must be frying the lettuce 🤦‍♂️

[grenier]

Sigh... the stupidity of some people, it astounds me.
Cheers my friend.

I'm vegan but I'm still a heavy girl it doesn't matter I still eat 2, 000 calories a day I had someone say I was a fake vegan because I was heavy I said " I don't need you to believe me I'm vegan because it makes me feel good not because I want to be thin"

[LarryFournillier]

The nerve of some people. Great answer, Jerry! :)

[daniwhit]

I Was not aware that you were vegetarian or fat, I watch every single one of your videos.

[Bohorho]

Cheers I get a form of that... My former sis in law used to say "you're "the worlds biggest vegetarian/vegan" (she don't know the diff so she interchanges with the title). I might add she weighs like 50 lbs more than me.

[TripleRoux]

the fact that you had to do such a video is just sad ... it is beyond rude, it shows a deep, twisted misunderstanding of our culture when it comes to nutrition and health ... and a very narrow mind. Thank you for this video, hope it gets people to think!

Cause for most of my life, we are uner the impression that "Vegetarians" do t each cakes, I ECREAM, breads, pasta, etc etc. we expect "vegetarian" to mean EXACTLY that. "Vegetarians" like to call themselves that, but most I have met, ARE FAT

[katielouieschwartz]

The audacity of people astounds me, though it shouldn’t. They have nerve they haven’t used yet. Asking personal questions about weight, getting knocked up, married, single, etc., is wholly unacceptable and vile. I’m sorry that people have said ignorant, inappropriate shit to you. I feel like if more people treated each other the way they wanted to be treated, we’d be a lot less judge-y and mean. You’re great exactly as you are and so are most people (except the GOP/Trump/and some others.) Feel free to delete. Politics and food might not be everyone’s jam.

[edwardrivera]

I clicked on this video to see why some vegetarians are fat but this was not an answer.. clearly theres a lot of olive oil and other ingredients that can be fattening

[winko]

any other people who think fat guys are sexy? :)

[richardwilliamjames]

Heat makes everything expand-so, you're not fat, you're hot :D
