They place themselves on pedestal claiming better than others because they eat a certain way. But what about the iron deficiency that's so prominent in vegans/vegetarians. Not to mention normal working class person could afford this much fruit and vegetables or Lycra to go cycling in. It's absurd lifestyle. The ppl who follow have eating disorders and the idea that u don't have to portion control is something that appeals especially when you have something like bulimia that you are managing and also with anorexia it's a good thing to affiliate yourself with because it doesnt have social stigma attached. But really is this lifestyle possible for everyone? No. You could never grow enough to provide for population of vegans/vegetarians, Peter Singer a prominent sociologist and vegan even said this himself. And the emphasis for vegans/vegetarians like banana nutcase is not on animal cruelty its on weight, looks , image.bclarke1990 wrote: »If a very thin, fit, attractive girl came up to your teenager daughter struggling with weight loss and said, "you can eat 6000 calories a day if you just eat tons of delicious fruit, pasta and carbs; just look at me!", you can probably see why people spending their time watching nutrition-themed videos on youtube may be attracted to her "message".
It's a shame really; I think she means well with her vegan message, but she just uses her own anecdotal experience as a cyclist in sweltering Australia and parrots it to "ALL" people
Most of the plants grown in the West are fed to animals, so the idea that we couldn't grow enough to feed people is absurd.
What is your source for Peter Singer (not a sociologist, by the way, and not a vegan) claiming that it would be impossible to grow enough food to feed people?4 -

Periods are bad, and women shouldn't be getting them.

bananas can literally cure every disease known to humanity
so yes freelee is correct
Please tell the NHS that, then they can just buy banana's instead of expensive medicine and pay us more. Actually don't tell them or there will be no need for the NHS and I'll be out of a job ;(0 -

Huh, I eat a banana every day and still have chronic leg pain and allergies.
Maybe I'm taking them in the wrong route? I could try snorting them....
I think you have to make them into a paste that you cover all over your body so it can seep into your pores.3 -

Reviving a zombie thread, but on the topic of Belle Gibson: Belle Gibson: Blogger who claimed she beat cancer with 'healthy eating' fined more than $400,000 over lies1

What's better than reviving a zombie thread? Reviving a zombie thread to argue with someone who agrees with you because you didn't get the sarcasm.7

I just read through this - never heard of Freelee and I am glad...but now I am curious.
First things first though. I have to get back to my bourbon-detox... bbl4 -

You're drinking a barrel of bourbon? Holy Booze, Batman!0 -
Why is she popular? She's very physically attractive, feminine, perky, and wears tight clothes on camera. She sounds very sincere.1

If the woman doesn't look like a woman what does she look like then? I'm no fan of hers but yeah you sound a bit sexist

I don't like Freelee's diet recommendations and some of the other stuff she's done, but I think she's attractive. Obviously, who is attractive is personal preference, so I don't care about that, but not sure how she doesn't look like a woman. Isn't that just another version of the nasty "real women have curves" (although she actually does) or "real women aren't (or are) bulky" or whatever "real women [insert thing you want to define women as being lacking if they don't fit the mold]"? Normally that's roundly deplored around here, and I think rightfully so.8

answering the question in the title thread . . . i always assumed it must be for the human-train-wreck factor.
but i can't even be in the same room with a muffin that sat next to the banana bread in the coffee shop, so what do i know.2 -
Who is Freelee?
I refuse to use Google and assuming I'm better off not knowing. Still don't know what a Honey Boo Boo is either and quite proud of this.1 -
She tells women their periods will stop when successfully following her raw vegan diet, because periods are toxins being released from the body. She is so underweight and undernourished, and she thinks this is a good thing!1

I think I will go to Australia and promote crocodile wrestling as a method of weight loss. It burns calories and you can lose inches if you're not lucky.

Wait, is this true?
If so, that would mean that keeping the toxins in her body is good.
I guess it doesn't matter, as she's proven herself to be an utter moron anyway.1 -
haha people listen to her but she just has dementia from eating 1,000 bananas a day1
