LOVE the consistent formatting of your videos and the production polish. Really incredible. Can't wait until this goes around on facebook watch and has like millions of views and then you get your own buzzfeed show or something!😆 seriously excellent videos. thank you for the serious moments at the end as well, we all need to be conscious of the food we consume and it's origins.

Thank you so much:) I'm trying may best to keep up with my own standards and create quality content.😊 I believe, if people knew where their food comes from, and how much work goes into their production, they would appreciate it more. More conscious consumption has the potential to solve a lot of global issues that we're facing nowadays.

As a millennial, I feel called out by the avocado toast references. I spent $8K on avocado toast just last year, and at this rate I'll never buy a house!

I've given up on a house. In the country where I currently live a decent house is around 1 million euros. 🤷
