+LittleBigBallSack I definitely didn't try to say that she isn't kind and loving... I'm sorry if it sounded like that. I think she is great and my comment was about a little group of vegans, not vegans in general.
Absolutely correct. If a person says they love humans more than animals nobody really bats an eye but if you admit to loving animals more, some people think you're weird and un natural. I do love animals more than people but that doesn't mean I don't care about people. You can care more for one than the other without being an arsehole.
I love how true and encouraging and just consistent you have always been. That's why you have views and so many supporters. Genuine and being nice gets us way farther than being harsh and degrading.
I eat 100% vegan but still have old leather shoes and chairs with leather.. I heard that we need bee keepers to bring bees to pollinate the crops of fruits we eat.. I'm not going to eat it but I can see that the more bees there are the better.
I have watched all of her videos, and this is one of my favorites so far! Thanks for pointing out that no one is perfect and we shouldn't judge others!
I like the fact that you are teaching and encouraging and inspiring people with what you do. Keep it up, it’s been great so far. Leave the haters to themselves
It's pretty perfect to be able to find vegan information that isn't militant and snobby. I'm not going 100-percent raw, but am slowly working my way in to a vegan lifestyle. Old dogs take a bit longer to learn new tricks.
I appreciate your compassion for both animals and people. Most vegans seem to be very aggressive towards non-vegans. If we had more vegans with your positive attitude, I think more people would convert to veganism. Such a sweet person.
I hadn't checked your channel in a while Kristina, but this video surprised me. I love that you stood up for yourself and were transparent in this. I love that you had CHARACTER to tell people to back off. I just love to love this video. *thumbs up from me*
I absolutely love this video. You always address even the most sensitive topics without judgement or anger. I can't wait to meet you at your tour in Chicago! :)
I am not sure how but I found you around January of 2016. I am totally in love with FullyRawKristina's message and lifestyle. You are a beautiful, courageous young lady. God Bless you and your loved ones. I will be purchasing your book soon to start my FullyRaw journey. ♡~
TE AMO!!!! ERES UNICA, ME SIENTO MUY FELIZ DE VER A UN SER HUMANO COMO TU, ERES MUY LINDA. EH TRATADO MUCHAS VECES DE VIVIR ESTE ESTILO DE VIDA, PERO ME ES MUY DIFICIL. PERO HUMANOS COMO TU ME MOTIVAN CADA DIA. COMPARTO TU MANERA DE PENSAR Y VER QUE ERES UNA MUJER CON MUCHAS CUALIDADES. DIS TE BENDIGA.
You're the main reason I became vegan you're such an inspiration and I love and admire how well you approach the topic on the vegan lifestyle you're very genuine and down to earth
I wondered and struggled about honey too ... I call myself an aspiring vegan because I LOVE to enjoy some organic vanilla ice cream. Im oing the best that I can. I used to consume LOADS of dairy and meat/fish/poultry but now being about 70% raw and vegan with my ice cream exemptions (LOL) Kristina, you are my HERO! I am inspired daily my your message and your lifestyle CHOICES .... so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart :)
Thank you for your sweet, supportive, kind and understanding words/perspective. I absolutely agree! Although most people aren't fully raw vegan/vegan/vegetarian, just merely doing their best and trying when they can, does make a difference. It took many years for people to accept different cultures/races, it took many years for people to accept different sexual orientations, this is just another obstacle before people are accustomed to this lifestyle. :)
I enjoyed your honesty. I have been look at different heathy eating videos. I believe yours are very real When I eat the fruits and veggies I have had people commit on I look health and when I eat junk it shows. Thank you
Great video. I've been subscribed to you for several years, but I haven't been watching your videos regularly. I'm looking forward to going back and watching all the videos that I missed.
People are so quick to judge, and it's awful. Thank you for your inspirational words! After watching your channel for a few years, and after thinking hard about what's most important to me, I finally made the decision to go raw vegan, for two meals a day. This is the most energized and happy I've felt in a long time!
I just posted this video on Facebook. I got like over 2000 friends on Facebook. so yei. we make the world a healthier place and the result happier people. changing the world one person at a time. much love and blessings. and i wish i could see you and give you a hug and say thank you, your videos helped change my eating habits. but if thats the case then we'll see each other and other readers in the heavenly realms were we will hug laugh play in a holy family way like it was meant to be since the beggining.
How can you just throw away a dead animal because you made a mistake in the past? That's wasteful. It's already bought, you might as well keep wearing it. As long as you don't buy any more in the future, then it's fine.
Great point Tinker. I remember reading a vegan book that listed all kinds of substitutes for animal products like wool and boar bristle etc - over and over again they would just say "use synthetic". So much synthetic is made from petroleum products. I found myself wondering about the overall effect on the planet. Of course, animal ag has a hugely damaging impact as well. It's just that things aren't as easy and straightforward as some would like to make it seem.
We care more about animals than we do people nowadays. Let that sink in! We'd rather be loving to an animal than to be loving to one another. Terrible.
I love your approach to promoting veganism!! There are so many (too many) TH-camr's who take the opposite approach & persecute every small mistake people make on their journey to being vegan. You do everything with love, kindness & understanding & it is honestly so refreshing & exciting to see!! & I love the point you made that we are all just trying our best & that matters!! We each already put so much pressure on ourselves, we don't need someone nitpicking at the progress we're trying to make. THANK YOU for being you& sharing your incredibly positive message! You have a beautiful soul!! Xo
Hey, I support you so much. You're so kind, so forgiving. You're very humble and all you want is for people to be healthy and just bring pure awareness. The vegan community needs more people like you because vegans are known as bullies and mean people who just attack. That's not you and I love you for that
That's why haters are usually immature, childish that judge her with one single little mistake, but ignore all good things she did or influenced other people. You are good person to influence people in good way, to be health in long term. If I were you, I would ignore those haters because without audience, they can not perform what they want. If you take what haters said too seriously and make video for them, I predict you might have more haters in the future.
You're so right, Kristina! Every little step counts. And if we want to change the world we have to be an inspiration to others, not a drag. Thank you for representing a community who is intentional about making the best out every opportunity to save lives: animal and human. Love your videos! Keep up the good work, girl!!!
So do you still wear your leather clothes that you bought before you became vegan? I'm really asking, because I have leather shoes but I'm too embarrassed wearing them, since everybody knows I'm vegan... And what about all those beads you wear? Aren't they destroying the environment digging those stones up from the ground ???
+WinsomeMisfit doesn't this mean that you couldn't survive out in the wild with this diet? what would vegans have to do to get enough without supplements?
+WinsomeMisfit. I guess the second half could be considered answered with soil but the first question still isn't clearly answered and I'd like to know if there are other answers to the second question. thanks for your imput!
i just wanna say that being vegan is so good and healthy but it is not enough i believe that eating everything in a balanced way is the best for our health iam not throwing hate at enyone but i was shocked about that you can't even wear cloths that come from animals i think this is too much and by the way honey is so good to your body even though it is an animal product (everything is better when it is balanced)
Lisa's love agreed but it's because there is animal suffering and abuse involved. Most vegans don't think you should throw out non vegan clothes you already have luckily. Some people are debating whether honey is actually healthy or harmful. I'm undecided.
oh my GOD. bees are nOT animals. They're insects. and honey is hugely healing. this form of veganim is ridiculous.. and YES before all the haters comment, I've BEEN vegan AND raw vegan for over 10 years... i got deathly ill, because veganism degrades the body over LONG periods of time - so all you extremists who want to comment on how GREAT you feel right NOW? come and see me in ten years.. you're CNS will start to fall apart. And honey , my dear, is NOT from an animal.. The problem kristina, with this lifestyle, which is not proven over history to be beneficial genetically to us down the line - is that its highly dogmatic.. you show dogma yourself all the time, by stating that this is THE diet for everyone - which is irresponsible as a coach in the health world - because NO one diet works for everyone. You should not be persecuted for eating honey, but you yourself have put labeled yourself and created dogma around your own identity, by identifying with the food you put in your body. its a dangerous and slippery slope.
Definition of Animal: "a living organism which feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli". Bees are animals just as humans are animals.
jay hasan Plants don't fulfill the definition of 'animals' therefore fall outside of the exclusion list. Apples and oranges are reproductive by-products of plants which fall off the tree when ripe, and in fact are reliant on being eaten to enable seeds to be released and plants to be propagated. Your statement contains no logic.
Insects are among the animal kingdom! Not all animals have backbones! Backboned animals belong to the Chordata phylum. Sponges are ALSO animals! You don't get to decide what animals are animals! Yes they are ANIMALS!
I've been vegan for over 25 of my 40 year life and I'm fine besides a genetic condition which no amount of honey is going to aid. I don't follow trending vegan diets but I think, like in many areas of life, you can get some ideas from people who are taking things to the extreme. Unless it hurts an other being of course and that we must be more patient with those who want to do the right thing but need time to make the transition.
Love the video. Who cares what ppl think. ...as long you're happy and that matter. You're inspirational, wish we have someone like you in Vancouver. Cheers
I love what you just said, I am working on being raw vegan. it's not easy, especially if you have a family you cook for. I May criticize myself the most because I know I feel better when I eat raw. I saw you and Robbie on a video and went to the 80 10 10 Retreat last year. You Robbie, Dr Graham, Cyrus and many others changed my life feel so much better thank you for your videos keep doing what you doing
I love this point of view. I think it's important for us choose consciously - and more importantly I believe judgment is worse than consuming animal products.
Kudos, Kristina. I came to this lifestyle via vegetarianism, after emailing Colleen Patrick Goudreau years ago, as a Christian, and asking her where I "fit" in the vegetarian/vegan world (because some of my Christian friends felt I was getting into "weird territory", and the vegetarians and vegans I met, criticized me for, at the time, occasionally having fish or cheese, or preparing non vegetarian meals for my family on occasion (all of this has since changed). Colleen encouraged me, telling me ANY steps I took toward vegetarian and vegan eating was a step that impacted the life of the animal I did not consume, that I *could* make a difference, one meal at a time. THAT is what brought me further along on my journey, and thus my family as well. Please, don't ever give up your positive approach to spreading the message. Love you, Kristina, and thank you for your bright light in our days.
My husbands grandfather was a bee keeper and never once were they killed or harmed. I have never seen a keeper so into bees that he would sit with them and PET them! not all farms are horrible. Good job Kristina you are a wonderful person, you have helped me on my vegan journey a ton!
Great video! I love this as I don't infringe on people journey, we are always right at the right place we are suppose to be. I am raw vegan but yet not perfect at times (nothing with a face on it) but may at times eat cooked food, but I allow that i my life as you mentioned it is not a perfect world and we are doing the best we can at any given moment to help change it. Much love and light! BTW raw foods reversed several disease I had and will be 64 ( actually ageless) next Tuesday but no medicines and feel fantastic. We are what we eat and also what we feel with our hearts, being that of unconditional love..
A very wise person once said, "haters gon hate", so girl don't worry about what anyone has to say. I love your channel & your message, regardless of if you eat honey or not, so follow your heart.
I'm glad you talked about clothing. I'm now vegan and I do not buy animal products whether it be clothes, hair/ makeup products, food etc. I own a pair of leather boots that my mum bought me when I was 13 (i really wanted them) but now I am older and consciously think about what i buy, but I still wear them and always feel guilty and like I'm gonna get attacked by others. So thank you
You are a very wise person, and very sweet as well. If you want to eat or use honey...do so and, forget anyone who has anything to say about it...just like you said...who's perfect anyways? Every single time I watch your videos, I can't stop adoring your hair, it is just too gorgeous=).
There's what I considered an ethical source honey in my community, they don't harvest royal jelly, or crush bees, kill the queen, use harsh chemicals etc. It's a local family owned business and they help our earth with pollination and the company has helped raise a lot of environment awareness e.g., to the danger pesticides.
This was very insightful for me. I'm still a work in progress myself, but I do the best I can to deliver the message positively without harming other's views and making it seem like a "perfect" lifestyle to be on. I also find that everyone has their own form of activism, whether it be a lighter form or more blunt. I think it's good to have various types because each type can reach out to the masses, depending on who they are. Also, totally unrelated question... but I was just curious on where you get all your awesome jewelry? I'm a bit of a bracelet fanatic, so I would love to know where you got all that snazzy bling! :D
Very honest and real video. I respect your choices. I have seen some vegans on TH-cam that are very judgmental and even cruel. I have never understood how they don't share the same compassion for humans, that they claim to have for animals.
Yeah! You rock Kristina. You're so correct about the fact that nobody is perfect. As for the nay sayers, people in glass houses should not throw stones. Keep up the good work young lady!
Hi there! So I am one of those you talked about when you mentioned about being on the fence...I'm just starting to dive more into being and eating a raw diet:) This comment will be off subject and you most likely have a video on this, but what do you use for your skincare items? I know you mentioned that being fully raw clears your skin up and with the changed I have already made I have noticed HUGE difference in my skin! Thank you! Emily
I love this. All of it. I don't like the label "vegan" because it's exactly that...a label. I will never call myself a vegan. I follow a vegan lifestyle, and tell people I'm plant based. I go on mission trips to other countries, and if someone has welcomed me into their home, I will eat something they place before me rather then offending them. There are lots of gray area situations, and I respect your stance!
Wow! You are truly inspiring! My journy to become vegan has taken me over a year and I am still in the hunt for vegan products that I have not found yet. Some people tell me I am not a true vegan and that I am not taking it seriously. However, I am doing my best and watching this video really hit the right spot. How come almost nobody encourage me to veganism, cheering for my progress? Instead of pointing at all the flaws that I, like every human, have? You are a true source of inspo and direct people in the direction of a friendly world🐬🌍💙
Some vegans have loads of compassion for animals and yet very little for other human beings. Scary.
I couldn't agree more. They are all about love and caring for animals but when it comes to humans, they aren't that kind.
You posted this in the wrong comment section. This is FullyRawKristina, not Vegan Gains...😒
+LittleBigBallSack I definitely didn't try to say that she isn't kind and loving... I'm sorry if it sounded like that. I think she is great and my comment was about a little group of vegans, not vegans in general.
Humans can speak up and defend themselves...animals cannot.
Absolutely correct. If a person says they love humans more than animals nobody really bats an eye but if you admit to loving animals more, some people think you're weird and un natural. I do love animals more than people but that doesn't mean I don't care about people. You can care more for one than the other without being an arsehole.
I love how true and encouraging and just consistent you have always been. That's why you have views and so many supporters. Genuine and being nice gets us way farther than being harsh and degrading.

Much love to you too!! Keep doing what you're doing.

You live with intention, courage, compassion, and generosity. You set a very fine example and do your best. Lots of love! Keep up the inspiration!
I like the fact that you are teaching and encouraging and inspiring people with what you do. Keep it up, it’s been great so far. Leave the haters to themselves
It's pretty perfect to be able to find vegan information that isn't militant and snobby. I'm not going 100-percent raw, but am slowly working my way in to a vegan lifestyle. Old dogs take a bit longer to learn new tricks.
so glad your voice is rising above all the others. love & peace.
I appreciate your compassion for both animals and people.
Most vegans seem to be very aggressive towards non-vegans.
If we had more vegans with your positive attitude, I think more people would convert to veganism.
Such a sweet person.
You are leaps and bounds above and beyond. Keep motivating and inspiring. You are my food hero!
I hadn't checked your channel in a while Kristina, but this video surprised me. I love that you stood up for yourself and were transparent in this. I love that you had CHARACTER to tell people to back off. I just love to love this video. *thumbs up from me*
I love the rawness in your messages. thank you for being yourself.
raw local honey for my allergies. better than pharmaceuticals
wait really?? it helps??? i have hayfever and dust allergies, should i do that too?
I absolutely love this video. You always address even the most sensitive topics without judgement or anger. I can't wait to meet you at your tour in Chicago! :)
As Vegans, we must also try not to hurt one another. Words can hurt worse than a knife ever could. Thank you for your words of love.
first time watching one of your videos, what a queen
great video! thx for posting since I was curious about honey. people will always point out what others do "wrong" instead of looking inward
I love how real you are in this video!!! love it!!!
I am not sure how but I found you around January of 2016. I am totally in love with FullyRawKristina's message and lifestyle. You are a beautiful, courageous young lady. God Bless you and your loved ones. I will be purchasing your book soon to start my FullyRaw journey. ♡~

I wondered and struggled about honey too ... I call myself an aspiring vegan because I LOVE to enjoy some organic vanilla ice cream. Im oing the best that I can. I used to consume LOADS of dairy and meat/fish/poultry but now being about 70% raw and vegan with my ice cream exemptions (LOL)
Kristina, you are my HERO! I am inspired daily my your message and your lifestyle CHOICES .... so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart :)

How can you wear the skin of a dead animal knowing what it went through?
How can you just throw away a dead animal because you made a mistake in the past? That's wasteful. It's already bought, you might as well keep wearing it. As long as you don't buy any more in the future, then it's fine.

SO INSPIRING. Thank you for your positivity
That’s why you are where you are Kristina

You are a beautiful person and we need more non judgemental people like you in this world.
I love it you do you...it's all about working together towards solutions in a non shaming way:)
Do you need to take pills or vitamin suplements?
What for?
keep hearing about B12
+WinsomeMisfit doesn't this mean that you couldn't survive out in the wild with this diet? what would vegans have to do to get enough without supplements?

Awesome video! Thanks for keeping it real and being non-judgemental
Awesome video sister. I appreciate how compassionate you are toward others. Crazy all the hate ons you received for trying fresh honey.
Kudos, Kristina. I came to this lifestyle via vegetarianism, after emailing Colleen Patrick Goudreau years ago, as a Christian, and asking her where I "fit" in the vegetarian/vegan world (because some of my Christian friends felt I was getting into "weird territory", and the vegetarians and vegans I met, criticized me for, at the time, occasionally having fish or cheese, or preparing non vegetarian meals for my family on occasion (all of this has since changed). Colleen encouraged me, telling me ANY steps I took toward vegetarian and vegan eating was a step that impacted the life of the animal I did not consume, that I *could* make a difference, one meal at a time. THAT is what brought me further along on my journey, and thus my family as well. Please, don't ever give up your positive approach to spreading the message. Love you, Kristina, and thank you for your bright light in our days.
You're my inspiration Kristina! I agree, nobody is perfect but we can do the best we can!

My husbands grandfather was a bee keeper and never once were they killed or harmed. I have never seen a keeper so into bees that he would sit with them and PET them! not all farms are horrible. Good job Kristina you are a wonderful person, you have helped me on my vegan journey a ton!
Great video! I love this as I don't infringe on people journey, we are always right at the right place we are suppose to be. I am raw vegan but yet not perfect at times (nothing with a face on it) but may at times eat cooked food, but I allow that i my life as you mentioned it is not a perfect world and we are doing the best we can at any given moment to help change it. Much love and light! BTW raw foods reversed several disease I had and will be 64 ( actually ageless) next Tuesday but no medicines and feel fantastic. We are what we eat and also what we feel with our hearts, being that of unconditional love..
love u and all ur videos. u r such an inspiring person. I watch them to get motivated especially when I am off the wagon
Awesome video! It came just in time :)
Thank you Kristina!!
Hi dear. I and my wife were for 3 years vegetarian. we started vegan today. :) thanks for honesty
Thanks for posting this video! I am sick of people being judged for not being perfect. Stop the hate! Hugs to you Kristina! XX
A very wise person once said, "haters gon hate", so girl don't worry about what anyone has to say. I love your channel & your message, regardless of if you eat honey or not, so follow your heart.
you are a great person Kristina. Not to be awkward but I really look up to you. Lots and lots and lots of love
I'm glad you talked about clothing. I'm now vegan and I do not buy animal products whether it be clothes, hair/ makeup products, food etc. I own a pair of leather boots that my mum bought me when I was 13 (i really wanted them) but now I am older and consciously think about what i buy, but I still wear them and always feel guilty and like I'm gonna get attacked by others. So thank you
You are a very wise person, and very sweet as well. If you want to eat or use honey...do so and, forget anyone who has anything to say about it...just like you said...who's perfect anyways? Every single time I watch your videos, I can't stop adoring your hair, it is just too gorgeous=).
There's what I considered an ethical source honey in my community, they don't harvest royal jelly, or crush bees, kill the queen, use harsh chemicals etc. It's a local family owned business and they help our earth with pollination and the company has helped raise a lot of environment awareness e.g., to the danger pesticides.
Thank you, great words and good arguments! I love what you do!
This was very insightful for me. I'm still a work in progress myself, but I do the best I can to deliver the message positively without harming other's views and making it seem like a "perfect" lifestyle to be on. I also find that everyone has their own form of activism, whether it be a lighter form or more blunt. I think it's good to have various types because each type can reach out to the masses, depending on who they are.
Also, totally unrelated question... but I was just curious on where you get all your awesome jewelry? I'm a bit of a bracelet fanatic, so I would love to know where you got all that snazzy bling! :D
Very honest and real video. I respect your choices. I have seen some vegans on TH-cam that are very judgmental and even cruel. I have never understood how they don't share the same compassion for humans, that they claim to have for animals.
Yes! Good job! We are all different and have our struggles, so NEVER JUDGE🙌🏻 God bless you Kristina
Thank you so much! For your video on why not to eat meat, it really inspired me!!
Kristina what are your thoughts on SuperMeat?
This video was SO heart-warming. We need more of your attitude in this world!
Yeah! You rock Kristina. You're so correct about the fact that nobody is perfect. As for the nay sayers, people in glass houses should not throw stones. Keep up the good work young lady!
love this. Thanks for the encouragement
Your such an inspiration to me! You really help me alot on my journey, I hope one day our paths will cross and we can connect and share stories, :-)
Well said...thanks for sharing! I feel like u speak from a loving place...😘
Absolutely loved this video! I love your message about inspiring others instead of hating on others!
Hi there! So I am one of those you talked about when you mentioned about being on the fence...I'm just starting to dive more into being and eating a raw diet:) This comment will be off subject and you most likely have a video on this, but what do you use for your skincare items? I know you mentioned that being fully raw clears your skin up and with the changed I have already made I have noticed HUGE difference in my skin! Thank you! Emily
Beautifully and effectively said!!!!
You have to try to let go of all the bad comments. Remember how much inspiration you are giving us 💙💚💜
Thanks for your honesty Kristina! Blessings.
I love Kristina and her channel, but I miss the videos where she gets in the kitchen and gives me great raw recipes to try out!
I love this. All of it. I don't like the label "vegan" because it's exactly that...a label. I will never call myself a vegan. I follow a vegan lifestyle, and tell people I'm plant based. I go on mission trips to other countries, and if someone has welcomed me into their home, I will eat something they place before me rather then offending them. There are lots of gray area situations, and I respect your stance!
your videos are so good i am making a transition and lerning a lot keep it up!
Kristina, you are doing a fantastic at beeing a positive roll model and a loving soul. I could not resist buzzing you with the punzz.
I just love you! You are so inspirational and such a beautiful person, I only wish there were more people like you. Thank you for being who you are!
Wow! You are truly inspiring! My journy to become vegan has taken me over a year and I am still in the hunt for vegan products that I have not found yet. Some people tell me I am not a true vegan and that I am not taking it seriously. However, I am doing my best and watching this video really hit the right spot. How come almost nobody encourage me to veganism, cheering for my progress? Instead of pointing at all the flaws that I, like every human, have? You are a true source of inspo and direct people in the direction of a friendly world🐬🌍💙
I love your necklace.... I try to make conscious choices every day... I am vegan, not fully raw, YET!! But, working towards it!
