Vegans and Ex-vegans

[lokiofasgard]

Yeah Miles and Jil give out weird vibes to be honest. And Miles really looks ill.

 

[Lionsden]

I hadn't followed Miles for ages and just checked his instagram, he looks so gaunt, very worrying

I just watched his latest video. They had a couple of treats from a raw vegan bakery, but aside from that - only fruits, nuts / seeds, and vegetables. I love raw foods in the summer as well, but Jil and Miles seem to be eating no grains or pulses at all. This might be okay for someone who is trying to lose some weight, but not for people who are already super skinny. But, of course, that's their choice. Miles has eaten healthily for so long, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. But it doesn't look so good. And I know Jil has a history of disordered eating.

Oh she got married? I haven;t seen her stuff in ages. I thought she already was tbh/ isnt her partner British?

I have no idea to be honest. But no they weren't married yet. She only briefly mentioned it in one of their videos and I think she shared 2 or 3 photos or so. It was very sweet. Just a little gesture towards her viewers but still keeping it private. I think she said they had more pictures up on their IG, I'm not sure anymore but I thought it was lovely and very true to who they are. I highly recommend her travel videos, they are seriously shot so beautifully and it's nice to see someone travelling in line with what they believe in and it's nice they show us ways to eat vegan abroad in EU. Loved it

Yeah I stopped following unnatural vegan a while ago because yikes.

Also those vegan guys, the go fund me was to buy a drone? Are they serious! I can’t believe anyone would donate to that.

I was gobsmaked that people were stupid enough to donate for a drone!

 

[Tom_Nook]

Yeah really right? Just so happy for her. Made me feel so warm. I hope to see more of that side of her. Really like her other side as well, but this happier and lighter side is just so new and cute. She looks more free. I am sure she's very happy they are finally living together and that the whole stress of moving is out of the way. Looking forward to her upcoming content to be honest. Her partner seems nice, haven't seen much of him before but he looks kind. What do you guys think?

I appreciate that she doesn't try and make him the focus of her content and they maintain some level of privacy by not sharing his name. But from the small snippets that are shown he seems like a nice person and they look so happy together.

Where is Miles these days? He hasn't uploaded in 2 months, did he say he was taking a break?

 

[Snarksalot]

Does anyone else remember the drama between Sonia Elsie and mr and Mrs vegan?

Omg I forgot. Didn’t they invite her to stay (as well as lots of other very young female yters- sketchy) and then kicked her out in a hurry. So I went down the rabbit hole and it turns out Mr vegan is now spewing anti vegan rhetoric? Saying science doesn’t support veganism. I checked their twitter and good lord. This has to be a troll account? Not a happy healthy vegan fan but I doubt he made this video as a joke? They knew each other...https://youtu.be/EBFPXPXiS70
@mrmrsvegan on Twitter? They barely have any followers... but also like who would create a troll acct for them these days?? Check it out it’s wild. Covid deniers, white privileged deniers, etc.

Yes, I have always felt Jil strives to be super thin. That's the vibe I would get from all of her old youtube videos.

A lot of her Instagram posts are basically thinspo. It's all about how thin she looks and how many bones you can see, whether her face looks good in a photo seems to be secondary for her. And indeed her face looks drawn and wasted in many pictures. I wonder if she would still be able to take stunning modeling shots like she did years ago. And Miles looks so sharp edged and bony, it's sad.

 

[emm]

He might eat all he makes, but it's a lot of high volume low calorie food and I do believe he over-exercises. As a young man with a substantial amount of muscle mass his caloric needs will be quite high!

yeah I agree, the only really high calorie thing he eats is tahini, most of the rest is just veg which is obviously very low cal

I miss my grandparents but im happy at times theyre not alive to see this madness, i can only imagine they would be spinning in their graves

I feel this so much. I sometimes talk about this with my parents actually, how much I miss my grandparents but that often I'm somewhat glad they are not here to see this, indeed. Like N*zi salutes on national television to people refusing to get vaccinated. My grandparents would have no words for it honestly, just thinking about it I can just feel their disapproval, sadness and frustration with the deep deep selfishness of this world.

People like Miles are getting more and more extreme right by the month, it's worrying.

 

[Lionsden]

He has a new profile, whatever for. I wonder if the name is supposed to be funny or if he has had more episodes.

 

[Millennial Pink]

Yep, that's the one. I was entertained by his nut butter fixation for a while and then got sick of him.

 

[Millennial Pink]

I watched quite a lot of Miles in lockdown 1. His content is so aggravating to me now that I switched off. Constantly checking himself out and if I hear 'bloobs' or 'strawbs' one more time... . The anti-vaxxer stance is a shame. Every time I find a vegan youtuber who seems sensible, there's always something unpleasant bubbling under the surface.

Those Vegan Guys seemed like a useful resource at first- the shopping hauls are usually worth watching. However, Paul comes across as so ignorant in some videos- I wish people would stop comparing homophobia to racism, it's not the same thing! I didn't know about the GoFundMe, that's hilarious

Anyone watch Kiera Rose? She's vegan but not necessarily a vegan-youtuber. She doesn't post often but she seems like a genuinely lovely person.

 

[AshMay]

This thumbnail is so creepy lmaooo
Damn used to really like him but he got so annoying

 

[lokiofasgard]

Hadn't watched anything of her in ages... she seems a bit..manic, the video seems like it is speeded up, i actually had to check j hadnt our the sound on double time...she is clearly suffering some kind of mental health problems.. does she live alone? Watching this is actually quite stressful. What is this group therapy she is doing?

Not sure, haven't kept up with her. She seemed to be doing fine and travelling and enjoying life. Probably something happened but well, it is quite not good for me, which is unfortunate. She seems really nice overall. But just, as in the ED clinic I was at, one blind person cannot help the other blind person cross the road, meaning at the moment I cannot watch her.

She seemed to be a lot happier and healthier whilst she was at university, and since she left, things have just gone downhill. Does she even do anything besides YouTube?

I hoped she would talk about work or stuff, I think she used to do some social media stuff for a company? Also she seems to be doing well as a youtuber, I mean the amount of subs she has and all that travelling etc. And now she is literally on a budget every single video. I mean, that's great, but do something nice for you with food for a change!

 

[LydiaDeetzHat]

Anyone else watch Emily Ewing? I think shes struggling financially. She seems to be living on her own now and is a FT youtuber afaik. She keeps doing I am not buying groceries unless i have to videos which the more she does the more its coming across like she has no money, In the latest one she cut her own hair badly. I know she moved back with her parents at one point but she's back on her own now in what seems to be a huge place from the size of the kitchen (yes I do know US homes tend to be larger). I have never heard her mention a job but then she doesn't post that much to bring in income that way.Almost all her videos are sponsored usually by Thrive which is another way for getting free food.And she says shes not sleeping because of a situation she wishes was better.

I hope i'm wrong cos she seems nice enough

For myself I’d say only two of my vegan friends are anti vax the rest have had the jab and I’m vegan and I’ve been double jabbed, so I wouldn’t necessarily go by vegan YTrs. I don’t have any problem with people who don't want the jab, we all still spread covid anyway, it just reduces the deaths and takes the pressure off the NHS and I wouldn’t wanna end up in hospital with this much worse Delta variant.

 

[Millennial Pink]

Nicole's latest vlog felt off to me. She started out talking about her work as an influencer (ick) so felt like a sort of behind the scenes thing, then devolved into drunken nights out with hardly any food shown compared to the length of the video. Definitely mistitled. Combining the professional with the very unprofessional (and private) seems like an odd decision to make.

In terms of the drinking, how much is normal in a 29 year old single female in London? I don't live in a city and I'm in a more settled stage of my life, but only a few years older and grew out of the frequent nights out thing in my early 20's. There seems to be a bit of arrested development in cities because it's so expensive to put roots somewhere. I hope she doesn't have any underlying issues with alcohol, as putting your party-girl era on the internet seems unwise.

I hope she's getting more gifted stuff than is obvious since her lifestyle must be costing an absolute fortune.

I downvoted it after he launched in to an abusive tirade against the viewers he has such resentment simmering below the surface at all times! Started going on about people being “selfish” and “relying on healthcare” because of their “stupidity” at not accepting the vaccine (again) which is a bit rich when he is presumably a lifelong heavy smoker and now relying on that same health service to assist him with his lung investigations. Get a bit of compassion Paul!

edit to add: maybe they do need their own thread

He’s just done a 7 day meals vlog and called it delightful dinners and medicinal meals Really so he’s calling one curry with white rice medicinal meals and delightful the rest are 3 hot dogs, the usual spag Bol, burgers in buns (first time ever making burgers) and assorted processed bits with a bag of salad, the cheek of this guy. Can he actually prepare anything from scratch or is he too busy watching telly all day and smoking fags. He’s got some nerve vlogging the same meals over & over, they’re what I eat in a day are no better, even more processed stuff. Unless you’re making food from scratch what is the point of showing people something you just got out the freezer week after week. And Jason says his partner is cooking lovely meals for him, this is what he serves up after Jason’s been at work all day. Most of the time it looks like stuff you’d give to kids, like chips and nuggets and just lazily filling up on bread. He can’t even be bothered to do some homemade soup for Jason when he’s ill or to take to work, what a lazy arse.

Someone mentioned about him always calling Jason me husband, I think thats about possessiveness, like someone’s gonna steal away Jason, he’s a nice guy but come on, although every time he says it he just reminds me of one of those old gossipy northern women from the 50s

I've noticed the same, she was laughing so much when they were unpacking the mattress. Makes me realise how little of that side we've seen of her.
