If that's true, then show it, Ruby. For far too long you've encouraged dangerously unhealthy eating habits and lied about anything and everything. If you want to set a responsible example for your mostly young and impressionable audience, then show the full portion of food that you eat. Show yourself eating a full, healthy nutritious meal.
Ruby can't and doesn't do that, because she didn't eat any more than you see here. If anything, she ate less.
What she does show is alarming. Ruby is still of the impression that if you time-lapse footage, that the sped-up playback will fool everyone into thinking a lot happened in that footage that flew by.
She was very busy and definitely not just pacing back and forth across her room. She was very productive and definitely not just staring mindlessly at her monitor for 20 minutes. She ate a lot and definitely didn't just play with the tiny amount of food on her plate.
She's also apparently too fucking stupid to realise that people can just play those timelapse segments back frame by frame.
Spoilers: She just played with the tiny about of food on her plate and ate practically nothing.
She starts by showing herself awkwardly dismantling the small slice of bread she has, tearing the centre out and crumbling it to nothing, taking a tiny bite of what little is left on the crust.
She then picks up a small wedge of cheese, takes the world's tiniest bite, then puts it back:
She puts this olive on her plate:
She picks it up, puts it in her mouth, then
puts it back on the plate, completely intact.
After that, she takes the smallest, saddest sliver of lettuce leaf she can get.
Then she decides that, of all the foods available to her, this crumb of bread crust is what she's going to eat:
Her mum hands her some crisps. She eats a couple of the smallest ones, then takes another teensy bite of that cheese wedge.
The tiny cheese wedge after Ruby somehow manages three bites of it:
How? The original piece barely had enough to comprise a single bite's worth, Ruby's playing it out with tiny nibbles.
She eats a couple more tiny crisps, then picks up that olive again, puts in in her mouth again, then
spits it back out and puts it back on her plate again. She shoves that olive in her mouth and puts it back
four times before finally just chewing and eating it. It's an olive. It's a one-and-done food, not something that requires multiple tries.
She picks up a few crisps at once, not even a baby-sized handful, takes a tiny bite and
puts the rest back.
Ruby does that with everything on her plate - plays with her food, rearranges her plate, drags out each tiny bit of food with multiple miniscule bites to give her mum or the audience the impression that she's actually eating. Even sped up, it still looks like she eats nothing, which she's well aware of, hence the protest-too-much disclaimer.
She tops off the ED-baiting bullshit with her dessert - a single square of chocolate. Again, it's a one-bite food. But Ruby does her now-patented "Take a pained, awkward single bite with the camera pointed at face, then wave the remaining food at the camera as if to say 'Lyook, I eat things!' then throw the rest away off-camera" move.
None of this needed to be in here. This is supposed to be a
night routine.
None of this footage takes place at night.
And if Ruby insists on showing her evening "meal", there was absolutely nothing stopping her from including footage of everything she ate, or her full plate before she started. But she didn't, because there was nothing more to show.
Like she does every single time, Ruby just claims all the proof that she's not a liar and a terrible person but a very productive and healthy genius happened off-screen. She acts like a flimsy, last-second disclaimer will excuse and explain all the problematic shit happening on-screen.
She's been asked numerous times by numerous people to stop doing this shit, to stop cramming footage of her eating disorder into videos where food footage doesn't belong, but she just chooses to ignore it and constantly peddle her dangerous habits to an impressionable audience. What an indescribable piece of shit.
