I like how you're indirectly strengthening the vegan communitys bonds lol

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.

I really like it that you replied! I think I might have to check out your channel now. It’s ok to do you girl!

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.

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."

Leon Mulder this “all or nothing” mindset doesn’t draw most people to veganism. Reducetarian can lead to veganism by making it not seem as hard, and that helps a lot.

@@katate13 it's not an "all or nothing" mentality. It's just the meaning of the word. If you don't adhere to it's meaning you can call yourself 90% plantbased or something.

@@leonmulder4889 ok I am plant based u happy now???

@@leonmulder4889 So because that's what your dictionary says, that's the way it has to be? Do you have any idea how language works? 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.

Papikari Same

Papikari same not vegan but I’m anemic

Me tooooooooooooooo :D

@John Smith Who has two thumbs and didn't watch the video. This guy 👍👍

@John Smith if natural is fortifying your meat with b12, sure!

I found it in my history! it's unlisted! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6tid9Jkta6UYps.html

Robotter so she kept the video with all the lies public and the stream with the facts unlisted? Not interested in giving any views to this person.

I did say that it wasn't helpful and not as many people will see it

You know a lot of things she came back on on the ''I was wrong'' video she first adressed them in livestreams/comments? Maybe she'll eventually do a video to talk about that, geesh.

well that's not helpful right now

You mean retract her comment about NTT? lmao.

No, I mean Isaac’s embarassing and juvenile insistence on clinging to a pop-ethics argument he had no business making.

Maybe so, but people aren’t likely to watch that stream. I think these type of response videos are not just for the Blaire, but also for people who were misinformed by Blaire.

Auden Finch can you elaborate?

It is very clear from the stream with AY that the health claims are just a convincer to allow Blaire to justify to herself and others why it is ethical for her to consume animal products. It is very obvious that the real reason behind this shift is convenience and pressure from family and friends. This is not a palatable enough reason of course, which is why the "health" concerns have been out forward.

The Tofu Goddess why did you Stop uploading Videos? I liked them...

ichabe dichlieb aw thanks, I love making them! I plan on uploading again in the near future, I'm just always super busy :(

The Tofu Goddess i understand. 🙂 But you seem sypathetic and smart, so I Always thought you' d have more subs... Then again, there are probably more "smart vegan" Channels Out there, yet freelee and Kristina are getting the vegan masses subscribed to their Channels...

The Tofu Goddess so are vanity and hypochondria.

Seldomheardabout True! Both those things are real!

ElectricMayhem87 (Ashleigh) we can't control the entire vegan community and yes, you do catch more flies with sugar, but you have to realize that anyone with the size audience that she has spouts absolute bullshit pseudoscience about veganism is extremely harmful to the movement, and it's hard not to get upset about that.

ElectricMayhem87 (Ashleigh) I don't think "Vegan Gains" and "civilized adult" can be both in the same sentence😂

+Andrea Robyn actually the studies Vegan Gains cited are applicable to his (Blair White's) situation because those studies show that someone taking all the damn synthetic hormones he's taking to try to be feminine is virtually guaranteed to have nutrient deficiencies and will therefore NEEEEED to supplement, which demands a debate on whether or not being a tranny is sustainable! 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.

Why even mention that you don't like her? Just curious.

+ElectricMayhem87 (Ashleigh) Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the pooooooooor Non-Vegan SJW Snowflakes got their feeeeewings huort by Vegan Activists like Vegan Gains and others. I will clear a spot in my state of the art Safe Space Facility for them right now!

ModVegan mcdougal needs to stick to making delicious overpriced soup and be quiet.

You could get all your vitamin B by adding nutritional yeast into your meals that's what I do. ☺

+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.

What? McDougall recomends b12.

Reasonable thought. But it seems like she was just assuming based of a bit of knowledge she knew about it or else she'd have said that her doctor told her liver damage was a risk? And since she did retract that claim in a live video -- so it seems -- it's safe to assume that... She was just assuming.

Magnimazing I didn't watch her live video, but yeah that's definitely a possibility. When it comes to people who take a lot of medication, we use our past experiences to try make the best decisions about how we look after our health, and often we get it wrong. I'm glad she cleared up the liver damage statement

Amy Clements apparently a LOT of people think that every single pill, just by virtue of being a pill, is damaging to the liver. that isn't even taking into account the fact that some drugs or vitamins are processed through the kidneys rather than the liver, or anything else logical.

C Mancini But how often does she actually drink alcohol though? She would have to be drinking a large amount multiple times a week to do that kind of damage. I hope this isnt the case, but if you're right, she needs to see the error in her ways

C Mancini Wow as someone who has never looked in to that type of medication, this info is new to me! It's good to know. I hope she realises the same

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.

Yes, thank you! You said my thoughts exactly!

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.

Hesus That’s a little rude to assume. She’s out there living her life the way she wants. It’s not like it’s a simple thing to just throw away after 10 years. She gave her reasons for quitting the vegan lifestyle. It doesn’t have to fit what you want it to be. Those are her reasons and they are valid.

An inside source tells me: Blaire White had been eating Kale Seitan for every meal for 10 years.

The Seitan Recipe What if Swayze reveals the Recipe? Your entire existence will become useless

The Seitan Recipe at first I was exited about the kale seitan recipe, but when it never came out I looked up other seitan recipes and realized the kale seitan actually seems pretty gross and Unnatural Vegan can't cook herself put of a paper bag.

SkinnyThicc Legend LMAO they were making a joke

SkinnyThicc Legend you right it's a *war*

and that that calcium can't be taken at the same time as the iron (or iron source like lentils) because calcium stops you absorbing iron (but vitamin c helps you absorb iron!).

No, it's the other way around; you need vitamin D to absorb *calcium*.

Same, my doctor sai the same think to me was well, that I was the lowest she'd ever seen. Yet I know others as low as me. All meat eaters. I'm no longer one, I'm vegan. My blood levels are actually amazing right now. That's a rarity for me.

Ismini K I have little problem with people doing that. I personally I've done it a few time, typically with bread. Usually the case is that I feel guilty and grossed out doing it. I'm feeding myself but I still feel like I'm being forced and become bitter that these people don't respect me and my ethics... That it results into me betraying my values. Social pressure is a nightmare for me. I hate being the center of attention but they do it to me, THEY don't respect ME.

Lol "be as vegan as you can possibly be".... ok but how is that vegan if you KNOW and INTEND TO not follow that diet. That's ridiculous. If I am only going to have sex every once in a while then I'm not celibate. Follow whatever diet you want but you're not a vegan if you just eat the shit every once in a while. I say no to food at family gatherings all the time. Not that hard. This is so dumb.

@@its.albert.510 maybe its easier for you to refuse because your grandma just isnt as cute as hers 🤔

@@its.albert.510 Then she or whoever will just say: I am following a vegan diet except if I am not. What's it to you? You'd rather have someone eat meat 5 times a week than 5 times a year over the latter person calling themselves vegan to avoid the first scenario? Quite ideologic.

Unofficially Talented try id say try drinking non-dairy fortified milks(any you like) or a cheap supplement, it's worked for me:)

Just supplement it in pill form. No use forcing yourself to eat/drink milk if you don't enjoy it.

@Sam @Short Extraordinaire Thanks for the suggestions. Initially, I tried to force myself to drink milk as a 2018 resolution. I am a pianist/violinist, so bad bones would be the worst possible thing to happen to me. Sadly, I cannot stand the smell let alone the taste, and could get a most 2 gulps down while holding my nose. I will definitely try different methods, because drinking milk just isn’t possible for me 😂

I put non dairy milk in my banana smoothies, with spinach and either peanut butter or cacao powder

I take 4000 iu's of D3 every day. :)

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.

Stephen .Shuman seconded. i always see people saying the fact that there is no dietary cholesterol in plant foods is a bad thing.

ala yes apparently we missed the memo that cholesterol is a vitamin now....

Q. .Q It's not a vitamin, but it's a necessary part of cell membranes and fat globules that carry ALL types of fat around the body, and it is totally possible to have too little of it. The consequences can be anything from dry skin to nerve damage, as the protective layer of nerve cells and the brain is made up of fat

lollsazz wow wait til the rest of the vegans hear this and we all just fucking drop dead

kzfaq.info?search_query=vegan+gains+cholesterol

You are not vegan so that mean her content is bad for vegan community

@@luka9911 Not really, people typically have to transition to veganism by degrees, rarely can a person successfully transition all at once.

Beth Grant-DeRoos What, like a stomach transplant?

Beth Grant-DeRoos there's an extremely small percentage of the general population that could possibly having some medical issues with veganism, but i constantly see people trying this vague "ablest" argument with nothing to back it up.

It's up to the individual to do their own research

Ala and where did I say anything different? In fact I clearly noted 'MOST people without any medical issues usually do fine being vegan'.

Seldomheardabout like someone who has had multiple organs transplant surgery and the anti rejection drugs (which are many) require some types of animal based foods.

cute

I saw her live with you and I was trying to find your channel this entire time loool how convenient

Ask Yourself Get off the stage.

Marry me

Ask Yourself 😂

I think it was hyperbolic to bring more attention to the vid

7:15 there I watched it for you

She shows lots of intent when she is spreading hate against the lgbt community though.

radubradu she does no such thing

Lord Poppy I don't understand how you think your body would have a better time with milk and meat. Can you explain your logic please?

Seldomheardabout I am incapable of digesting things like beans, soy products, I can't digest red meat either. If I have to go back I have to stick with lean meats like chicken and fish. Since I started this diet, And doing it right I have been hospitalized twice because the foods that I need for things like protein sources are much to hard for my stomach to digest. Whole grains are much to hard for me to digest too. Which, is why I won't eat carbs

Seldomheardabout Why so hostile? She didn't make any comment about milk and meat, just that she's having issues and is seeking solutions.

Seldomheardabout It's a rare stomach dieses and it's not very well understood but the main things vegans eat to stay healthy are things that are shown to cause flair ups and they have caused them for me.

LegallyBrunette and Beautiful Thank you. After finding out that me being vegan may very well be making everything worse and that I may have to stop made me cry for over 40 minutes with the thought I couldn't be vegan anymore.

You don't follow any vegan cooking channels? Avantgardevegan is pretty legit, and The Easy Vegan is funny.

loseta1234 Real food? You know milk is fortified with D right? Like many non dairy milks. And most meat isn't even the best source of D, thus the deficiency in this country. Unless Blair was munching down on cow liver to catch, I'm not buying her story.

Trigger Happy As someone who has been on a lot of medication, taking a lot of pills daily is exhausting, and if it is easier for her to get those nutrients from other foods then it is completely fair. It’s not your place to say that she should have taken the more difficult route when she was already ill

Dumpling Dipper it's really bizarre how she quite obviously just stopped caring about animals. it's a little pathological.

Because she never went vegan for ethics or the animals. She enjoyed feeling like a good person, hence making the tattoo to display a symbol of it. And this is someone who doesn't enjoy being the centre of attention.

Nutritionist are self proclaimed experts while dietitians are certified experts and going to a vegan dietitian isn't necessary

Wow people have the free choice to choose 🤔 hmmmmmmmm

Miranda Crocsgrove in the live stream, she also hammered in the point that all the supplements are not good for your health and not a good alternative for your body, even if she retracted the liver damage comment. I watched the stream. People mentioned supplements and she made a point to say that they aren't good for you

DrGrukar McNinjaSixthGun maybe bc her videos reach A LOT of young people who think what she's saying is true. She should make a video adressing the situation.

DrGrukar McNinjaSixthGun b the problem people in the comment section of her video are now worried about going vegan because they were told D and b12 can cause liver damage. That's how they're interpretations it.

@@IchWerdSehen Then *those* young people have a problem relying on one half sentence someone said. Everyone here always gets so overly upset about influence. I am sure you have earlier on believed and stated something that was not true. This should be a lesson of not believing everything you hear/see right away, if anything. Thaaaankkksss

I feel you! Do what's best for you. I'm considering going back to being vegetarian as well instead.

Thank you, whatever you choose to do I hope you do well!

Nope Nope where do you live? just curious. i want to know the experiences of vegans in other countries. i know it can be hard sometimes, but think of the fact that by putting in the effort to be vegan, you're not ending anyone else's life.

Guillermo Sandoval can i ask where you live?

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.

Thatsprettiemuchit that's not good

Ethical Vegan EXACTLY

I like bacon

No, for me it was much worse digestive health, the need for ever more supps and awful mental health. I was wholefoods vegan, 4yr.

Hesus k because becoming deathly ill is no excuse to stop doing something?

Hesus Fuck off, your obviously didn't watch her video

Sarah Boka that would restore her respect in a lot of people's eyes.

Lol no, she's a reactionary bigot

Umm no? I've watched a majority of her content and I can say that's just wrong.

Blaire White is the Milo Yiannopoulos of trans people

Right... so?

If you only see Blair and Milo as "reactionary bigots" then clearly you have no understanding of what's going on.

Aether Queen that is so great! Hope it all goes well and so great of your sisters to join you. You are all doing amazing ^^

Honestly, I've forgot which one it was meant to be in response to. You mean the one about children and such?

Is there really a point to respond to him at this point?

Magnimazing well, she asked on KZfaq and some people voted. I'm just asking as a follow up question. I guess she won't be doing it?

orlando intl vegan gains is a hypocrite. He has a wolf and he tried to make it vegan. The dog almost starved to death.

Gaydolf Hitler A wolf dog is not a wolf and dogs can eat a vegan diet. I both breed and train dogs and can safely say they can thrive on a vegan diet (and a few breeds even benefit from it, Dalmatians in particular). However, I do not recommend the diet for them. Dogs show a clear meat bias and crave it and it's not like dog food is a main reason for animal agriculture.

tasha b Her fan base is pretty toxic, yes.

Cherry Bomb I am a fan of hers lol

Really shows the hypocrisy of some people. They'll criticize SJWs for living in echo chambers however get incredibly offended when people disagree with them

I am also a fan of Blaire's but there is a hypocrisy

__VioletArt same, I LOVE her, even though I do not agree with all of her political views

Not vegan you mean
