Ruby Granger #7 Fake Smiles and Facsimiles

[treasuredintention]

she used to eat with her family right?
also isn't her family vegan too?
I wonder if they don't notice how she did a 180 from one day to the other. these behaviors usually develop overtime.

I think she was raised vegetarian so they might be vegetarian and not vegan, and her sister posted herself eating meat (probs to feel somewhat edgy, so hard to be part of the upper middle class gotta find a way to rebel) but I don't think their common meals include meat...

Perhaps this is overthinking, but as a vegan I will often substitute dairy cheese for vegan cheese in family meals, especially things like lasagne and pasta bakes. It seemed odd she didn’t do this? While it could be taste preference, I can’t help but think it yet again follows the Holly G “clean eating” trend.

I remember her in a video trying a pizza with vegan cheese or somehtigg by on it and she didn’t like it so I’d assume it’s preference.

I think in one of her old Christmas videos she mentioned the fact that her father had cooked a roast dinner for everyone and had made something else for Ruby and Martha because they don't eat meat. So I'm not sure if her parents are also vegetarian.

The mess in their house really stresses me out ngl, especially the kitchen. Idk, if I had an audience on the internet I really wouldn’t want to post videos and photos of my house looking so messy lol. Especially as it is so big, and looks like a really nice house - it kind of draws more attention to the fact that they just don’t really clean or declutter it

I also find it funny how Ruby’s house is almost the exact opposite to Hollys. In hollys house there is not a single dust particle, to the point where it’s just creepy - but Ruby’s house is so cluttered

Her parents aint vegetarian, I think it is literally just Ruby who went vegan and the rest of them eat meat

in her latest video she says she supplements in iron and D3... but not B12??

which makes me think: is her green smoothie/muddy water in the morning something with spirulina, and does she think that's an adequate source of B12???

unless she has had issues with iron deficiency, simply focusing on eating more dark leafy greens and lentils is enough to keep your levels up, and dairy milks are fortified in D3, why would she be supplementing in those but not B12??

ohh... B12 prevents chronic fatigue..... that's not very Victorian I see...

Apparently she gets enough B12 from her diet. I feel like she must eat more off camera because from what she shows us you would expect her to be B12 deficient if she's not supplementing.

TBH "routine" is a fairly standard thing to put in video titles, and the audience don't really expect that to be your every-day life plan with no changes ever made.

Her 'routines' vary so wildly though. It's literally not a routine if you don't do it regularly.

Tbf, I don't eat meat and not a lot of dairy/eggs and my B12 levels were too high

I guess we now know why she eats all those cereal bowls

Hey! I've been lurking here for several months now- and I've never seen a discussion that made more sense, to be honest.
I've noticed that Ruby Granger has resorted to dark academia as a means to still act like Hermione Granger without mentioning it. She tries way too hard to get her style of speaking sound like Emma Watson's.
Also, based on some evidence, her name's actually Ruby Bones.
Oh, and in some Harry Potter movies, Hermione criticizes Ron for eating, several times--which is why Ruby must be trying to show off that she has some sort of ED. Ruby, we still know you desperately want to be Hermione, even though you say you've 'grown out of it'. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be like her if you're below the age of 15.

 

[lolalala]

I've just caught up on the last ten or so pages and I just want to chime in with another ED perspective. When I was really bad with my ED I actually wanted people to notice how little I was eating at mealtimes, which I suppose was for attention but it didnt mean I was faking it or not being unhealthy. Also, the fact that Ruby says she eats more off camera raises slight red flags for me as well...ofc she doesnt have to show everythibg she eats buts when she does a daily routine and shows pretty much every thing she does it makes me wonder why she feels like she cant show that shes eating more than that. Of course it COULD be because shes faking disordered eating, but she could also feel like she has to hide that she doesnt just eat childs portions of fruit veg and oats. I hope for her sake that she doesnt have an ED, but I've been lurking this thread for a long time lol and I remember people questioning the amount of ED books she reads waaaay back in at least 2019 so she'd kind of be playing some weird long game of leading up to faking an eating disorder which is really odd even for her.

Yeah, I feel as if sufferers of EDs aren't always the 'shrinking violet' type - for some people it's a cry for help when it seems as if the world doesn't care/you're depressed and feel powerless and unable to get help. Either way it's both dangerous (for her young fans as well as her) and sad to see. Hope she gets help before it gets any worse, if it is an ED.

Just in case anyone else is vegan/veggie etc/wondering about this, it takes a while for B12 & folate levels to drop on a vegan diet as your stores can last years and just slowly drop over time (can be 3-4 years later!). It's not always simple to treat a deficiency later down the line and try to reverse the the symptoms it causes. Some symptoms such as hair loss can be distressing and don't resolve quickly, and some neurological symptoms can be irreversible. If she doesn't supplement I think she should put a disclaimer and make this clear as I think it could mislead people who try to emulate her.

Did anyone else think that Ruby looked super underweight and unhealthy in this video? Although I know she's lost weight, I never found it to be that drastic until now - when she's standing next to her mum at the stove she looks so thin.

Yes, but I’m also starting to feel like us mentioning it is just giving her the attention she’s looking for. (Nothing against you, and not saying we shouldn’t talk about it, I’m sure I will continue to do so too, but right this minute I’m feeling super irritated with her shenanigans.)

i’m honestly kind of surprised Ruby hasn’t posted here or at least messaged someone who posts here. i saw a thread on the student room where the op was asking what other people think of Ruby and her extreme study sessions (etc), and they made an edit saying that Ruby had dm’d them about it.. (i can try and find the link if anyone wants it)

if ruby comes to tattle complaining that she’s being spoken about i‘m pretty sure the majority of us would send her away with a flea in her ear. she should count herself lucky she’s not gained any attention on any of the chan boards!

I thought she was making herself smaller her latest video, it gave me that impression judging by the way she carried herself
