Blaire White: Quitting vegan is your choice, but please stop spreading lies
My response to "Why I Stopped Being Vegan After 10 Years" by Blair White. Should vegans worry about liver damage from supplements like vitamin D and B12?

I’m glad you took the criticism well. Only the worst vegans really care that you stopped being vegan. I’ve only been vegan for 2 years and it has been tiring to go out and socialize. I’ve decided to not care about broth, breads, and other hidden animal products. I just order things no meat, or cheese and I’m good to go.

TheNerdyVlogger there’s no problem with that at all! I’ve been fully vegan for 5 years and at times it can be tough and others, it’s awesome when eating out. But I will not say that there have been times where I feel like I want a bit more when dining or just wonder. As well, I learned to not be as picky such as not caring about cross-contamination and such. No biggie! And I have a veg friend who is vegan as much as he can be! So he’ll eat meat when he can’t find anything else. Every little bit helps!

Shaun and Shon b12 isn’t created by animals. It’s created by bacteria. We used to get it from unwashed/uncooked food and drinking water. Now it’s in fortified food and good that has feces on it like meat.
"just be vegan at home. that makes a big difference, it doesn't have to be all or nothing." damn. never heard a vegan say that before, but that's the message that people need to spread if we want more vegans in the world.

You're not vegan if you eat animals when you're out and about. Either you're against animal exploitation or not. "Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose." I know it;s not what people like to hear. But vegan means vegan. Not "sometimes i skip meat."

The meaning of words can change and mean whatever the hell enough people accept the word to mean. Like "sick" and "tight" meaning cool, or YEET! Ain't. I could go on for days. Language always comes BEFORE dicitionaries. If someone wants to say they eat vegan at home, or make a word or phrase like "home vegan" I could totally see it catch on. You should be happy more people want to reduce their animal consumption. If enough people are home vegans, we can shut down many factory farms AND promote more vegan foods in mainstream society ,hopefully enticing MORE people to be home vegans. This can result in more decent vegan restaurants being built in even smaller communities, giving people more animal free options when they eat out or have social events. TL;DR by pushing up your glasses and quoting some dictionary, you are doing shit for the vegan movement.

I personally think it should be ILLEGAL for medical centers to turn someone into a tranny, people with Gender Dysphoria need to address the biochemical imbalance in their brains that's causing that, they need psychotherapy, and either brain supplements, or psychiatric drugs if supplements don't work, NOT surgery to try to make them into something they can not be naturally.

Some unnatural stuff is bad, some isn't (same for natural stuff!). Also, someone needs to break it to Blaire that farm animals are heavily supplemented! It's a shame that she fell for the standard McDougall (and others) line that we don't need supplements (hopefully he's changed his tune on that, but I did notice he only grudgingly admits to the need for vitamin B12 supplementation).

+ModVegan, B-12 would not be necessary if one is living like ancestral humans lived, FORAGED for food, ate everything fresh from the ground, from the tree, from the vine, etc, because B-12 comes from the micro organisms in dirt, but we don't get that in modern civilization due to fruits and vegetables in the grocery stores being HEAVILY WASHED. The human body does produce some of it's own, but ideally we should be getting either from dirt, or supplementation. Another drawback to living in modern civilization is due to our fruits, and vegetables not being fresh, it's deficient in a lot of nutrients, which is why I am a big believer in supplementing, if nothing else a daily multivitamin. Having said, I have a friend in Hawaii who does not eat a 100% WFPB diet, she loves her damn junk food, she's in her 60s, and NEVER supplements for anything, and she's still in good health for her age, and has never had a nutrient deficiency in any nutrient.

+ala I agree with McDougal on the Starch Based Diet, there are benefits to eating a lot of starches in one's diet, depending one's lifestyle, some lifestyles one would be more suited to a vegetable heavy diet, some a fruit heavy diet, some a starch heavy diet, some a protein heavy diet, but those are all variations of WFPB. What I strongly advise AGAINST is any of those fad diets like Raw Till 4 for example, or Keto (There is Vegan Ketogenic, but advise even against that, it's still a fad diet, and I am against allllll fad diets!). I believe in what has been proven scientifically which is Whole Foods Plant Based! What variation of that will work best is dependent on one's lifestyle. For example for one how is highly athletically active, a protein heavy diet would be advantageous, that's why folks like Vegan Gains (Myyyyy Heeeeero!) eat a protein heavy diet.

I feel like this is the most unbiased response video to a "why I'm not vegan anymore" type video I've ever seen. this was a great video, thank you for making great educational videos on veganism, and for not using pseudoscience.
I think what she means is that she wasn’t comfortable taking so many pills since she is trans. Which is totally fine! The vegan life isn’t for everyone. But I’m glad someone responded to this with facts. You know? You’re not mean or harsh. It’s more educational. Edit. Anyone who says everyone HAS to be vegan or even questions it: stop. Not everyone wants to follow, just like how no one can tell me to eat meat, we can’t tell them to give it up. We can educate, but that’s all. Let people be people. Whether her reasons were acceptable to you or not doesn’t matter, it’s her life. Make videos, educate people kindly, use the subject as projects in school, anything to get the word out. But that’s all we can do. The harder we push the harder they pull. Be kind 😇 that is all. (And to those who get it, thank you ❤️)

Caroline Olivia totally agree but one would think she could take more vitamins or phase in some animal foods temporarily and then shift back once her levels are good to a plant based diet more carefully planned and including a regular multi-vitamin instead of just leaving the lifestyle completely. She also complained about having to ask for special menus etc so she could shift so that she is only vegan at home.

Yeah. And I think being at the age of 24 brings different mindset. Of course she is no longer that rebel 14 years old boy. He rebelled against animal exploitation while rebelling against being a boy. She chose to go through a surgery to become a woman, the gender she felt more comfortable with. She has changed physically, mentally, emotionally. Also became a Internet celebrity, dating a most likely meat eater guy. We all know the "guilt" and frustration comes from that intimate partner is way different than us. Add being a Trans on top. It must be hard for her to be that "different" She might like to feel 'normal', 'familiar', 'like everybody else' at this stage in her life. And the lack of certain nutrients might have been the last drop in her conclusion. She made up her mind long ago, imho. It was just a justification, rationalization for post a video which got backfired because it lacks the accuracy and authenticity. Vegans online attack hard on people for not being 'perfect vegan' but we're all different humans after all even though our motivations and reasons to be or not to be vegan might be similar as much as differ from the rest. I wish her good luck in her growth. Veganism is a way of thinking, expressing your ethical stand point in your day to day life. That can change over time as we see here, because people change, that's totally normal. What's important is that distinguishing the false excuses and main motivations from each other so we won't confuse more people in their journey. It's not the easiest road to travel anyway. I personally enjoy being a vegan. If it becomes very convenient some day and I can't find a solution, yeah I might change my mind as well but I'm a bit too honest with my motivations in my head, so that hardly will happen.

I think most thinkers lack a good level of emotional intelligence especially at a young age. They rationalize their excuses and it sounds and feels inauthentic although they think they're doing a good job of representing it. Clearly, Blair wants an easier life and veganism no longer serves that purpose. She wants to be healthy without trying so hard because a life as a trans is already hard for her, physically and mentally. Also she wants to enjoy life with friends and boyfriend without constantly feeling like an alien. She wants to feel like "I'm one of them" This can be resolved with clear understanding of your emotional reasons and finding ways to resolve it while staying vegan but it seems like she's burnt out and lost her passion to it since she became passionate about veganism at a very young age like 14. My views since then has changed drastically, it's no surprise she no longer carries the same logic. It's just she has changed and veganism remains the same. If I hadn't gone vegan at the age when I became more mature, I would like to quit at some point too. It's just how things work. She's not trying to lie like Vegan Gains says, she just isn't aware of her emotional reasons or she isn't mature enough to admit them and take it into consideration yet.

It's rumored that Blaire White had exclusively been eating Kale Seitan for 10 years.
Maybe her hormone pills in combination of the other supplements caused her to change her diet. Foods can interact with vitamins and supplements. Which is why when I took iron pills for my anemia I reduced the amount of Calcium rich foods from my diet and my levels of iron increased. Just my experience, I wouldn't be surprised if something in her diet or supplements were interacting with her other medication. Just a thought!

I too didn't see the logic of her statement about liver damage, however doctors do sometimes recommend things while discussing serious side effects of this same recommendation. As someone who takes 15 pills a day (not a hyperbole, this is the actual number) I have been recommended things with terrible side effects, and it has been left up to me whether or not I try it. Maybe the same happened to Blaire?

One of the things you said in this video is EXACTLY why I watch you. "Go vegan, even if you are vegan only at home". I believe that is the best way to see it. I know a friend of mine too, she lives far away and she is vegan, but when she comes home to her parents and grandparents, she can't just say no to what her grandma cooks her! So she is fine with eating it. I think vegans have to really understand that and respect other peoples decisions. Why does vegan have to mean that you eat vegan 100000% of the time? This obsession that we have to just label people is at play here as well I think. You can only call yourself vegan if you haven't had any animal product in years or smth. I think it's ridiculous. Find the right diet for you and just be as vegan as you can possibly be, because we already know its benefits.

Marissa Does Things, I'm in my first year of being vegan and I'm definitely an "at-home vegan." I've been vegetarian for maybe 12 years, and that's been really really easy. But trying to go to work potlucks, restaurants with friends, or especially family dinners has been harder than I thought as a vegan. I do eat dairy a few times a month and maybe eggs once a month. But I just have to tell myself it's better than nothing and that I can improve.
If shes passionate enough about animals to be vegan for 10 years and have a Vegan tattoo, why didnt she try her hardest and talk to any certified vegan nutritionist to fight for her ability to stay vegan? Its like a doctor told her her nutrients were low and she said "hm ok. Gonna eat meat and dairy now, cause its good for me!!". Plus Blaire is on testosterone blocker Spirolactone that blocks sodium and a few other vitamins from being absorbed properly. Being Vegan is challenging in regards to nutrients but shes also a trans woman and trans women take hormone blockers and estrogen boosters, and many transwomen are nutrient deficient because their doctor didnt fully inform them of what they should eat because of HRT effects.

I don’t get why Blaire is getting hated on. If it is her choice to quit being a vegan then it is her choice. I hope that the choice to start eating some more animal based products will help her diet and make her feel much better. I can get along with a vegan as long as they don’t hate me for being a pure omnivorous diet based person, then yeah we can be friends as long as we can respect each other’s choices and not egg each other on and be rude to each other.
I loved everything about this video expect the title. "Stop spreading lies," implies intent. I don't think she is intentionally misleading people. I genuinely believe she was just trying to share her personal story.

I caution non medical folks who do not know a persons full medical history, and special medical issues to be careful in suggesting every one can be vegan. Folks who have had certain organ transplant surgeries may not do well on a full vegan lifestyle. Most people without any medical issues usually do fine being vegan.

3:03 “for people like me, for whities “ LOL that was funny. Great video. You’re above the average you tuber that talks about being vegan - which people should remember! Unless people regularly make vegan videos, they can’t be expected to be super knowledgeable on Veganism. Even if they have been “vegan for 10 years.” Many just don’t take the time to learn about the supplements and health stuff when taking on veganism.
I went to a restaurant in my area and asked what vegan options they had, the lady brought me a bowl of lettuce. That was it......
I think the liver damage statement refers to the plastic capsules that the supplements are in a lot of the time. I don’t have enough info to elaborate but I’ve heard concerns that when you’re taking so many supplements your liver also has to break down the actual capsule and that it can be harsh on the liver. A way to get around this is open the cap and dump directly in your mouth or in water and drink (can be annoying) but the contents of the capsules won’t cause damage to your liver. That being said I used to be vegan and supplement, it went well but eventually I came to the same reasoning as Blair and decided to just eat the food that has the nutrition. I eat only the amount of animal product that my body needs to be healthy and make sure the animals were raised ethically, sustainably and locally. Plants are alive and sentient too. Vegan farming puts stress on the environment too. Just do your best 💗
I can understand Blair, I have a stomach dieses and the vegan diet is making it worse for me since a lot of vegan products I can't digest and it's getting VERY hard. But I'm still giving it thought because not being vegan isn't what I want. But I do feel like Blair was being a bit vague.

I think she just said it without thinking. She said it only once right? (i havnt seen the video this is a question) so what i think is that since she already takes hormones which have been related to liver damage she automatically thought oh i have to take more pills so more liver damage. I think she didnt think it through before saying it. We all can at least accept her as someone who tried her best right?

I frequent vegan groups online, but don't admit to being vegetarian because I don't want to get attacked. I'm vegan in my own home and most of the time even when I go out, but not always. I feed my dog veggie food and don't wear leather, etc. I make almost all of my food from scratch and am just not interested in jumping through flaming hoops for vegan food in local restaurants. I'm not in a big city and don't eat out often. I would be crucified by many vegans, but I just don't care. I do more than most and I'm good with that. Considering that I've been veggie in some form or another for the past 25 yrs, I think it's working for me. Thank you for respecting variations!
Unless you work a full time job that has you working outside, in sunlight, for the vast majority of the day, sunlight isn't going to do it. The vast majority of people are vitamin D deficient. Just is what it is.
As per usual, excellent vid. :) I appreciate that you really hammered down the point that supplements do not cause liver damage. Quite reassuring to new vegans. Thanks!
I think the whole point of Blair's video was that she was tired of taking too many supplements to compensate for nutritional deficiencies that she could easily get from eating real food. My two cents. No offense intended.

Blaire actually recommended your channel in her livestream. I don't see the big deal to be honest, it was an off the cuff statement. Had she given a paragraph about the liver being damaged from supplments, then I could see why it was a blatant lie and not just a simple mistake.

Good point regarding not wanting to be a pain or call attention to yourself in a group of non-vegan or non-veg people, or not wanting to "give up" something. You don't have to be perfect all the time. You don't even have to be perfect some of the time. Intention, striving, trying, etc. matters, too. Cutting back makes an impact. If someone puts food in front of me that I normally wouldnt eat (doesnt happen often), I am going to eat that food, out of gratitude and politeneness, and to maintain a healthy perspective on the realities of sharing the planet with other living beings...which is one of the reasons I try to eat vegan in the first place.
i recently found out that my doctor and her entire family are vegan! it made me so happy to hear that :)
In my country there aren't many options for vegan stuff at all I don't mind taking supplements, not having eggs/dairy/meat doesn't bother me either, I just want vegan versions of stuff I "can't" have anymore I'm considering turning vegetarian again because if I leave home I can eat basically nowhere, at school I can only eat overpriced fuit (a cup of grapes is one dollar fifty and a sandwich is only 70 cents), and I have to go home for lunch, if I don't have the time to do that I have to starve for a few more hours cus I have to stay in school and a cup of grapes won't keep me full It's inconvenient and bothersome to bring food everywhere, been vegan for over a year now and it's starting to get to me

A lot of people in your situation do a vegan at home and vegetarian when eating out type diet. I'm a new vegan and am trying that approach when eating with my family.
Coconut milk has 100% of your DV of B12, which makes me wonder why more people don't know this? I discovered it by accident when I looked at the label. Coconut milk is my favorite nondairy milk by far, and it's about as common and priced similarily to almond milk.
The thing is, we don't know where this idea of destroying her liver came from. It could have been that after being on the supplements her doctor told her that she was having interactions or that her supplementing was overkill or that the combinations she was consuming were causing her harm. She had to get that idea from somewhere and it's possible that was simply her experience. When I had to supplement it was a lot of trial and error and it got exhausting and more difficult before it got easier. It's possible her doctor just told her to switch back to a plant-based omnivorous lifestyle until things level off. She's said that once she gets healthy again she may go back, so while I see the criticism of some of her points, antagonizing her isn't going to encourage her to return, or at least do so publicly.

You are right in most of the points evaluated. About the sun, I think your fear of the greatstar is mislead. I live in the south of Brazil, and I have never seen a case of skin cancer in the population of my city and neighboring cities. In my town, which was born from a fishing village, everyone gets sun all day, fishermen spend hours and hours in the open sea without sun protection, and there is no case of skin cancer. Most people are descendants of Azoreans, hence the fishing tradition. I, my father, my mother, my uncles and aunts, grandma and grandpa, we all live in the sun, and we love the sun. There was never a problem in any generation. I believe that skin cancer, like other cancers, is a conjuncture of nutritional deficiency, lifestyle and intoxication, and in this case, a skin not adapted to the latitude of the moment. It is our nature, we evolve under the sun, as other beings did; we need the healing rays of the sun. you should take a look at the latest discoveries about the physics of cells, and the interaction with electromagnetic fields of the sun. You may noted also, that the people of the blue zones, also all centenarians, have had an active life under the sun.
The thing that you are not compounding with possible liver damage is the hormonal and trans pills that she has to take which have to also be processed through her liver. In addition to the high doses that were likely prescribed by her doctor as you mentioned.
Yeah I hope she makes a reasonable follow-up. If she's admitted fault in the past, maybe she'll have the courage to do it again.

I quit being vegan bc of this channel. I realized it doesn't really matter. If not everyone will go vegan suffering will always be there. And if my goal morally is to just reduce suffering I can (and the rest of the world can more realistically) through plant based eating with small amounts of animal products. I realized most of the claims by vegans about health, animal and environmental welfare were either entirely not true or extremely exaggerated. Everything I became vegan for was a lie or part of a lie. Most vegans are just unwitting snake oil salesmen. My mood, energy, health, bank account, relationships etc all improved when I let go of veganism and took a less strict approach. And yes, I took supplements....so many different supplements (as suggested by this channel). But my health still suffered. I got tired of the guess work of veganism. Is this really healthy?Who's telling the truth? Who's research can you trust? Who even knows what they are talking about? Why am I listening to youtubers over doctors? So much uncertainty. So much confusion. It's really just not worth it. Not in a long term sustainable way.

Who knows maybe the future is vegan, all I know is that I’m trying to help the world be vegan too. Veganism is really amazing, and I’m not the healthy vegan out there but I feel so better without eating animal products, with the health aspect and the guilt aspect. Of course do what’s right for you, but don’t get strung up with uncertainty that’s out there (I hope this wasn’t mean)

I became vegan when I was freshly thirteen. Prior to me changing my diet and lifestyle, I was anemic and suffering from chronic pain. When I informed my rheumatologist of eating a vegan diet, she told me,”You just need go eat a hamburger once a week. Then you will be fine. ” Three months after that, I went to the same doctor and had labs preformed. My anemia and other deficiencies were healed in 90 days. This notion that vegans and vegetarians are lacking and deficient, if simply false and damaging. Diets work well for one and horrible for another. For me, a vegan diet is the most healthy diet for me. Now, I do not have chronic pain ( I am diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis).
Being at the age of 24 brings different mindset. Of course she is no longer that rebel 14 years old boy. He rebelled against animal exploitation while rebelling against being a boy. She chose to go through a surgery to become a woman, the gender she felt more comfortable with. She has changed physically, mentally, emotionally. Also become a Internet celebrity, dating a most likely meat eater guy. We all know the "guilt" and frustration comes from that intimate partner is way different than us. Add being a Trans on top. It must be hard for her to be that "different" She might like to feel 'normal', 'familiar', 'like everybody else' at this stage in her life. And the lack of certain nutrients might have been the last drop in her conclusion. She made up her mind long ago, imho. It was just a justification, rationalization for post a video which got backfired because it lacks the accuracy and authenticity. Vegans online attack hard on people for not being 'perfect vegan' but we're all different humans after all even though our motivations and reasons to be or not to be vegan might be similar as much as differ from the rest. I wish her good luck in her growth. Veganism is a way of thinking, expressing your ethical stand point in your day to day life. That can change over time as we see here, because people change, that's totally normal. What's important is that distinguishing the false excuses and main motivations from each other so we won't confuse more people in their journey. It's not the easiest road to travel anyway. I personally enjoy being a vegan. If it becomes very convenient some day and I can't find a solution, yeah I might change my mind as well but I'm a bit too honest with my motivations in my head, so that hardly will happen.
I don't think that her giving her personal views on why she stopped being vegan isn't "spreading lies", she is allowed to have her views without being accused of "spreading" anything. people are allowed to have personal views, nobody thinks she is an authority on anything medically speaking. So take the rhetoric down a notch.
Regarding sun exposure - that is not even the main cause of skin cancers or melanomas.
In Australia it's pretty easy to be outside for 15 mins and not get sunburnt and still get vitamin D. It really depends on where you live and also your skin type. Being fair skinned means I only need about 15 mins a day and my blood tests are just fine.
Hehehe I been waitin’ for this one, boys
I completely understand your argument here but you have to take into account that everyone's biological make up is so much different than the next person. Not everyone can handle the same diets. This is her personal experience and everyone has their own story to tell. We have to respect them for that and allow these conversations to happen respectfully.
I actually had a phase of being vegan except when invited over to dinners or similar events. It was a good transitional period for me as I learned to make all sorts of good vegan food without having too many cravings and feelings of missing out on certain foods, whose amount I reduced gradually before finally giving up on after roughly a year
I'm a Blaire White fan and I'm not vegan but her comment about the supplements effecting her liver confused me, since I had never heard that before, so I'm glad you made this video clearing it up. I've been watching a couple of your videos since you uploaded this one, I'm not sure I'll go vegan but it's made me start looking at my current diet and areas I could definitely improve on. I also have a great appreciation for the way you back what you say with science and facts. Will definitely keep watching your videos!
Im glad you said what you said at the end. Veganism is not all rainbows and butterflies like some people say it is.

Some supps probably do contribute to liver damage because : 1-Many use artificial forms of nutrients. Especially cheaper brands.... Although I see even Solgar Co. (expensive) sometimes using artificial forms too. 2-Most supps are poorly absorbed, so you need very high doses (3000% RDA) which means even more units for the liver to process. The liver is a chemical processing plant. So, more units of chems, or of course food, means more work. This is probably why I got stabbing liver pains as a high carb, low fat wholefoods vegan. I had to eat so much more. I've also had liver pain from high dose b complex. High carb means you have to eat a lot more grams of food to get the same calories as someone on low carb, high fat. Secondly, vegan foods tend to be less nutrient dense than animal products. So, again you must eat more grams of food to get the same amount of nutrients. Which means more work for the liver. Compare 100g kidney beans to 100g kidneys on chronometer. It's quickly apparent that you need to eat about 4x as much kidney beans. That's ideal as a short term thing for overweight people who enjoy/are capable of eating huge portions, and whose livers can handle all the extra grams of food and carbs. I'm guessing this is the reason that vegan gurus tend to target overweight but young people. They know very well that overweight people eating junk food often get amazing short term results on a vegan wholefoods diet. Those who are older, underweight and can't handle high carb tend to do badly, especially as time goes on. *One size fits all? Probably the greatest lie ever told*

Just making a comment as this just came across on the auto play. There is some people out there that cannot take the supplements (iron & B12) because of genetic backgrounds. Their bodies will naturally either pass on these extra supplements and not get any benefit out of them, or they will double down and be hidden by the body - mainly in the liver. The likelihood is fairly small for the general population of having these conditions, but considering that Blair has said she is naturally pale, it is a concern that she may not be able to process the supplements and wouldn't be known by her doctor until they are tried. Also with her hormone therapy there could be drug interactions, that you nor the rest of the internet is not privy to. Nor should they unless Blair wishes it to be so. I do support your comment on the end though. I understand how hard a specialized diet can be.
I love that you are okay with it not being all or nothing. I would absolutely love to be a vegan, and I don't eat meat, unfortunately I also can't eat fruits or vegetables. Due to health issues, I can't process things that aren't basically processed to the point it's pre-digested. Meat gives me the same issue. I do eat dairy periodically, but not much, and eggs, but again not often. I'll feel less guilty about it now, that I can't go vegan, and I'll just hope we can sort out my gut so I can go vegan. It makes me angry when people tell me I should just go vegan, because it would "heal" my gut. I have gastroparesis, severe gastritis, and periodic issues with lower GI ulcerations. I also can't eat gluten. (Basically, I live life on potatoes and gluten free bread. It's not super exciting, but it is what it is, and I supplement with vitamin infusions.) High dose IV vitamin and amino acids over a long period of time, daily, can have an impact on your kidneys or your liver, but again, it's high doses to compensate for not eating any of those complexes at all, and it's also IV loads of the thing. When you're on supplements like that, you're definitely monitored, as Blaire would be given her MTF medications, too.

Swayze, you're getting better and better everyday at your channel and I would guess in personal life too. Thank you for sane, calm approach to such topics. I enjoy hearing your voice, and listening to your share. You are my only favorite vegan channel right now, thanks again
I’m hope I don’t get hate for asking this but... Could the hormones she’s taken/is taking cause liver damage and deficiencies?
Blaire White... spreading lies? No way. She would never spread lies or misinformation. //sarcasm

Grand Crusader ArgentSky The Crimson Except it’s not “here and there” it’s all the time. If you’re going to talk about politics be informed, don’t just spread around misinformed opinions to push an agenda. Real talk.

Elise M You mean the same things many news channels are doing? She is only human, she shows her opinion and what she researched, while those news channels are doing so willingly, spreading misinformation just so they convince people of their agenda. One is a human, the other is a hivemind of degeneracy.

My diet is about 75% to 90% vegetarian. It varies. I eat mostly eat vegetarian meals and even some vegan meals. I don't rule out animal proteins but I don't eat them a lot. My friends and family don't understand it. But my protein and iron levels are always really good. I get my levels checked every 3 to 6 months. Once my vitamin D was a little low and my doctor put me on supplements. I'm fine now. I went to a dietician a couple of times and each time I did she told me I had to have an animal protein with every meal, especially lunch and supper. I knew that wasn't true so I stopped going.
I live in Maine and the cultural thing is huge. It's hard to eat even vegetarian when you are out. So I do vegetarian at home, and I try my best when I am out and about. A sidenote: if plants can feel, do we eat them alive??
"It doesn't have to be all the time" Holy shit, a reasonable vegan! 😮

❤ you Swayze! 😘😘😘
I think her doctor did not describe her vitamin-specific supplements instead of multis to cope with her extreme deficiencies, since this is just not possible. You can´t make up for an extreme lack of vitamins by taking a higher dose, the dose the body needs stays more or less the same. But I think, you said that later on (talking about high dosed supplements)
Could you make a video about: you don’t need every nutrient exactly 100% every day? For me it’s easy to take a vitamin B12 and D supplement EVERY DAY but I don’t always eat a Brazil nut. Could I eat 2 instead of 1 every other day instead of every day? Same thing with Iodine and Tofu or broccoli. You would need to consume extra iodine to healthfully eat Soy or broccoli. But often I can’t organise that. So could I eat a meal with soy and forget about iodine but consume a lot of iodised salt but no soy the next day? Generally I have the problem here in Germany that the iodised salt only gives me 75% of my required iodine when I eat normal amounts of salt.

Vegans who are berating Blaire and other former vegans about the consequences of their actions are definitely in the wrong to react in such a way, but I'm not fond of the nonchalant "it's your choice" response either. Now, let me clarify, I'm not implying that it isn't someone's choice to be vegan or not nor should it be forced onto people but I think you should've reminded her on the consequences of her actions--the financial support for the cruel treatment of sentient beings who don't deserve it. The gung-ho vegans have probably only driven her away further but I do mind that the other side of the spectrum doesn't acknowledge the animal cruelty that is being supported by her reversion. This is all, of course, assuming Blaire can actually fix her diet so that she could be healthily vegan. Vegans who scrambled for answers to Blaire's health complaints were a pathetic show and should really be ashamed of reccomending someone actively harm themselves.

Squeaky Deeds Done Soap Clean you should also know that in the live stream she did with ask yourself the day after her video he asked her straight up "if you could remain healthy on a vegan diet, would you go back to vegan?" and she said no. he was extremely respectful and presented her with amazing advice backed up by facts. she just doesn't care.

No he wasn't respectful. He kept saying "I see what're you're saying" but immediately tried to guilt-trip her again and again. And that continued for an hour. He didn't try to understand her situation, how she feels and stuff. All he cared about is his ideology.

Nikita she spent an hour doing mental gymnastics to try to get herself out of saying "i just don't care about animals" and wanting points for the fact that for ten years she didn't pay for animals to die even though she is now paying for animals to die. he was trying to get the truth out of her and she's too cowardly to say it. she was defeated and embarrassed at the end because she knows she's wrong, and he did a good job of proving that, even though she pretended not to be receptive to it.

"i just don't care about animals" Except she does. She is not using animal products except for food and even the food she's using the minimum. Her contribution to the vegan cause is still more than that of an ordinary person. Of course from the extremists' point of view this is worth nothing, but why should she care? She's not calling herself a vegan so what's the big deal? The only thing that was proven by this video is that vegans are just trying to feel superior and are ready to use any demagogy to do that.

Nikita she absolutely doesn't care about animals. that's like saying you care about your neighbor but then paying someone to slit their throat and prepare to meat for you to eat.
There was a beef jerky commercial on this video LOL!
Hello, I cannot tolerate beans, legumes, fermented foods, grains and nuts. Can I still get all my nutrients?
