I’m sorry, did she say that we haven’t evolved to eat grains, one of the major crops that kicked started agriculture and fueled the evolution of human civilization? What?
So many people believe that! It's the thing that made us so successful, helped extend our lives and improve our health. It's just outrageous that people think we were healthier somehow before we began cultivating grains.
Which is made stranger by that fact that she is eating gluten free products which often have more unnatural ingredients and sugar to make them taste better for people who need to eat gluten free. You would think with all these food rules she has made herself the item with less processing and less sugar would be better.
This! It drives me crazy when people say that. Fruit, meat, and, later grains, are obviously the main sources of food we would eat. Growing enough veggies to fuel ourselves for a day is extremely difficult. Even with our fancy cultivated varieties with less seed and more edible portion. Grains and fruit are far more nutrient dense, easier to grow (fruit at least), and easier to preserve. Its obvious that those are likely our primary forms of nutrition.
I'm confused. She says eating fruit is not natural if one does not live close to the equator, so does she suggest everything one eats should be local. A lot of the things she eats aren't naturally occurring in Iceland. By her logic, it is not natural for anyone in Iceland to eat coconut oil, tapioca flour or basically any fresh vegetables during winter months. They are all imported from areas closer to the equator. Is she promoting traditional Icelandic diet, the one the Vikings ate? Does her diet consist of cod, ammonia (urine) preserved shark, sheep, sheep blood sausage? In Iceland not that many vegetables grow naturally.
That's what I was thinking , we are not here to shame or nothing this is just a discussion , I get her point of consuming locally grown and native produce to the country or area you live in , I live by this because this is what my parents and grandparents did for years . I believe it evolutionary makes sense . But she lives in iceland and like you said that country has so little resources the natives live on fat and meat because , the old natives had to survive and adjust to the cold harsh atmosphere , fat and protein are key sources to store energy needed for survival . At least she should've applied what she preaches.
no kidding. was also confused if she was tying the local eating to her evolutionary claims either - if so, how are us with mixed heritage supposed to figure out what we're allowed to eat - take the average latitude and longitude or eat %40 Irish 10% argentinian 25% aboriginal australian 25% norweigian?
Fruit grows in most climates. The variety available is different in each climate, but with very few exceptions fruits of one kind or another are available during the growing season and even longer with greenhouses.
b Sorelle claimed anything not naturally occurring is toxic. The ingredients in Article Fox are not naturally occurring and she couldn't get her black hair blue without bleaching it first. Also Artic Fox isn't even "non toxic". It has chemicals just like every other hair dye. Sure they leave out some of the harsher chemicals but all hair dye is "non toxic". You aren't allowed to sell toxic products for people to put on their bodies. Toxicity is related to dosage of ingredients, not specific ingredients themselves. Water is toxic if you have enough of it.
@@b8665 Considering she seems overly fixated with the idea of "pure" and "organic"... with those standards, even arctic fox hair dye would be considered toxic. There is no such thing as truly non-toxic hair dye, all chemicals used in arctic fox are what would be registered as "no significant toxicity" yet that does not mean zero toxicity... just means it's not toxic enough to pose a real threat to your health, especially when used as indicated.
Same! I had the utter audacity to nom some pineapple (non-organic) in Glasgow today. I died, my maw’s died, da’s grown multiple limbs. Devastating. Entire country of Scotland just OBLITERATED by a supermarket’s fresh produce section.
Gross... "before I had accumulated wealth, through hard work..." come on man. What a privileged statement lol. I could work myself to the bone and end up destitute just from unlucky events.
YES!!!! I thought I was the only one who got upset about that. The idea that the only reason to be lower or temporarily no income is laziness is just a stupid lie pushed by capitalism! No matter how hard you work, SOMETIMES IT DOESN’T WORK BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE CAN RUN THE FACTORY, SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO BE THE FACTORY WORKER.
I actually saw and episode off Zac Efron show that talks about Sardinia, Italy that is home to the world's longest-living people. So I'm guessing the Italian olive oil lover's are doing just fine. ❤️
I find this girl’s attitude extremely annoying and condescending especially when she doesn’t have any idea what she’s going on about? How can you sit there and tell people they NEED all these unnecessary things when some people don’t even get to eat everyday bc of poverty and homelessness. I’m literally screaming inside even the “accumulated wealth through hard work 😉” made me irrationally angry lol
Hard work...k. She’s a good photographer and did use her marketing background to grow her account, but a lot of her success is due to being considered very attractive and using that to her advantage in her selfies. I’m sure she did put work into getting her paid courses together but after that it’s passive income and not active work so I mean yeah she hustled but was it hard per se? Who knows. I do think her Lightroom and photo tips are helpful but agree she’s gone a bit off deep end past year or so.
She probably read a few healthline articles on these topics and now thinks she's a nutritionist. 🙄 And I agree she's very like "I wanna be inclusive" but constantly contradicts herself
i don’t think she understands how dangerous her (sorelle) advice is. if i has watched her content when i was in the thick of my disordered eating i would have hung on every word she said. i’m so tired of these “clean eating” fear mongers on social media
and honestly watch Abbey’s videos and her commentary on how to eat a full and well rounded diet helped me so much in my recovery. now i can and do eat whatever i want when i want. my relationship with food has never been healthier and i’ve never been healthier
At this point I wish the word clean was just banned from describing anything other than getting rid of dirt. I’m so fed up of hearing everything being called “clean” GAH
@@nanettemorton4054 are you talking about Abby? Getting a balanced diet is actually economical, as long as your avoid buying expensive pre-made food. You basically need a small fortune for some fad diets.
@@ingakarlsson Seems ridiculous. We visited a couple years ago (we had the best time), and it blew us away how delicious the water was. Once we got home, our filtered water tasted like trash.
sorelle "acknowledging her privilege" to buy organic is the equivalent of a backhanded compliment because she attaches it with saying she can buy organic "with the money she works hard for." this is essentially making the argument that if people worked hard they would also have the privilege of buying organic. this just is a terribly flawed rhetoric. I am a college student who works hard to pay for 100% of my college via a job while maintaining a 4.0 GPA in my honors program. While I have money, I would be sacrificing my education or living space or luxuries (ie phone, internet) to pay 2-3x as much for an organic version. And that's me, a middle class american with access! imagine all of the people in less opportune circumstances or locations. I'm just so tired of the equal opportunity fallacy.
That is a really good point. I worked on a huge grocery store as an online order collector. The job was rough, and even though I worked my ass off, I still could only afford to pay the essentials, like my really small mortage (cheap home in cheap area), electricity, water and food. The salary was low, and there were no better jobs available at that point. I no longer work there, but I really understand how it is not always possible to just buy organic. It is privileged to think everybody has the same opportunities.
phones and the internet aren't really luxuries these days, I don't know what it's like where you live but you can't apply for jobs or access government services without one (or a laptop)
But. She consumes coconut oil and milk, which is a stone fruit that I am pretty sure is not growing nowhere near Iceland? I am just 12 minutes in, but I am confused
As a trained biochemist who works with some hardcore chemicals regularly, I don't think she understands that anything can be a poison in certain doses or contexts. (Also am I the only when who gets annoyed when things that can't be gmos are marked as non gmo?)
Yes yes yes! My personal favorite is non gmo pepper. I really wish the non-GMO label could be restricted from products that doing have a GMO counterpart to begin with.
Idk if this counts but one time this raw vegan girl who is notorious on YT was boasting about having “non-GMO corn” and I was like baby girl... that’s impossible. Corn in its modern sense would not exist had it not been modified... needless to say she took down the post after I commented that lmfaoo
In January of this year, I cut all added sugar out of my diet. I was even careful not to eat fruits with too high levels of naturally occurring sugar. I did this for nearly four months and definitely began to taste the sweetness in things that had previously tasted bitter to me which was nice, but my cravings for delicious milk chocolate did not diminish at all ! I don't think my brain was retrained. I kept this up until late April when my birthday came around. I allowed myself to eat whatever my heart desired on my birthday and just like you mentioned when I was exposed to sugary treats I literally couldn't stop. I ate most of an ENTIRE nutella birthday cake to myself with a whole tub of ice cream and all kinds of chocolate biscuits and sugary treats throughout the day. I had never eaten that much before in my entire life, I still don't really understand what happened to me that day. I decided that I was not going to be able to maintain a sugar-free life forever without risking huge sugar binges once in a while like my birthday, so now I let myself have sugary treats whenever I fancy and so I only ever want them in moderation. Since I accepted that it's ok to have a sweet tooth I've felt much happier. A balanced approach is the best for me. The vendetta against sugar needs to stop ! You can have a healthy diet whilst still enjoying sugary foods ! :)
You just reminded me of when I made this amazing chocolate cake and pretty much ate 3-4 servings of it a day until it was gone. It was good and It wasn't like I binged it in one sitting (it was spread over 2 weeks). But it was during the time I was trying to lose weight and restricting some of my food. Even when I was trying to eat less sugar, I didn't crave it any less and even more so when I could have it. I don't stop myself when I do want some sweets now, but I eat a far more moderate amount and freeze portions for later rather than eat a whole chocolate cake myself, basically.
I agree, strict sugar free diet is too restrictive. I personally consume sugary foods in moderation. If I want can of coke once a while I allow myself to have it, but I won't have it every day or several times a day. Or I know that cereal contains a lot of added sugar and I simply don't eat it for breakfast, sometimes I have a bowl for desssert. But checking every label for sugar content is exhausting. Everything in moderation is the best rule.
Gina Di Vito you can enjoy sweet foods/treats without consuming cane sugar, or other sugars that add empty calories and spike blood sugar. Plenty of options....Monk Fruit sweetener, stevia, Erythritol, xylitol. Chocolate is a deadset Superfood. NO, not in the form it's available on a supermarket shelf. Buy your own 100% Organic cacao nibs (or powdered form) and make your own chocolates with cacao butter, Grass Fed butter, or coconut oil. If you're not intolerant to dairy, make your own killer hot chocolate with the same ingredients. Even small amounts of Coconut sugar and Manuka honey are fine in yogurts, kefir, smoothies etc... There is zero requirement for simple processed sugar in your diet with so many healthy alternatives.
This was honestly a depressing watch, I feel so bad for that girl. There is so much worry about "poison" being everywhere to the point of almost sounding paranoid, completely contradictory pointless claims, and a total lack of joy around food. I don't want to bash her or anything, I wish her all the best, but it's concerning that she has influence and spreads her health anxiety as something people should look up to and follow. Thanks for the video Abbey, really important to spread this message.
@@ameliat8981 Mental health is more important to me than money, so yeah, the fact that she does doesn't somehow make her relationship with food not troubled. She cannot be happy.
@@ivacukic She isn't. I had orthorexia and it sucks the joy out of everything. You can't focus on anything other than food (aside from the brief periods of peace after binges), so you can't even enjoy the money you make.
I find it a little strange when people who have super strict regiments build them on contradictory explanations. I mean, take the "check your distance to the equator" rule re. fruit. Wouldn't that apply to coconuts too? I.e. no coconut flour and coconut oil? Asking for a friend...
@@letthePigeondrivethebus Yeah, precisely. Is it genetics and if so, what about people who have, say, one parent from Hawaii and the other from Norway? And if it's the place you were raised: What ages matter? Why would the body not be able to adapt? Especially since it's perfectly able to adapt to factors like severe temperature and time zone differences? It just baffles me how inconsistent this is. Also (having had hair in all colours of the rainbow myself): The whole "everything that's not natural and clean is toxic"-spin strikes me as especially odd coming from somebody who dies their hair blue...
While not defending such a restrictive diet or her reasons behind it There is at least a kernel of logic in eschewing fresh exotic produce like the fruit, but not necessarily exotic processed ingredients like coconut flour. It comes down to the environmental cost of transporting fresh produce from the other side of the world in a timeframe and under conditions that means it is not a rotting lump of halfcomposted organic matter when it reaches the consumer, ie has to be flown there in environmentally controlled containers. And commonly have a higher degree of food waste involved as not all of it makes the journey in a fit to sell condition. Vs a much more shelf stable product that you could in essence stick on an oxcart then on a sailboat and it would still be ok when it arrived a year later.
I think there’s a big difference between being knowledgeable about the food you put in your body and over thinking everything you put in your body. It just doesn’t need to be this complicated.
Omg... she has over thought this to insanity. When she talked about her moms diet while pregnant effecting her metabolism.... whaaaaaaa? My brain short-circuited
On the topic of *organic*, here in Ohio, over half the state is farmland. I’ve worked with many farmers at my last job and several used to be *organic*. They only need to pass an inspection by a percentage in order to be considered an “organic farm”.Not only that, when they go to have future inspections to keep their *organic* label, inspectors pretty much just do a questionnaire style approach and don’t even tour the farm or check the crops. Yes, many farmers have lied. Why? Because they are struggling severely in the farming industry and this entire organic movement is their lifeline. They use techniques to safeguard their crops that are not considered *organic*, but they’re able to sell at a higher price since people will pay more if they believe the product is ‘healthier’. This isn’t to point blame at the dishonesty of farmers, but so many farmers are taking their lives because they cannot survive when they try to make an honest buck. If you want to truly eat organic, grow your own garden....then you’ll see how difficult it is to manage.
Luckily, most of the world has much tighter restrictions for what can be sold as organic. EU conventional standards are almost the same as US organic 😳 Und Swiss conventional standards for agriculture are higher than EU organic in many cases. Just for some perspective.
Sorelle: fruit in the northern hemisphere is not natural because it doesn't grow there The wild blueberries and raspberries growing literally everywhere in northern Ontario and Quebec: 👁️👄👁️
What got me was the almond butter, coffee beans and coconut oils...all of which don't grow nearby her home. I don't think she realizes how extreme and uneducated she sounds.
Jeesh, I can't imagine how expensive her morning coffee is! She needs all those 'relaxing' mushrooms to deal with all the anxiety she induces by worrying about those toxins and poison and chemicals. I felt many of her diet claims come from a very privileged place.
I've watched her content and she says she had cancer and used natural food to cure it....I think she mentioned mushrooms. This is probably why she mentions that some food is poison.

This takes me back to my orthorexic days when tap water turned to acid in my throat and I was convinced I was poisoning myself. It was the same with food. If it wasnt clean it was toxic and I would fast and purge if I ate things that weren't included in my religion. Of course then I fixated, binged and purged in a cycle that nearly broke me. I'll never forget crying and eating boxes of cakes in the rain cause I couldnt help myself with my 'addiction'. Through wellness food had become toxic to me. Her language is very dangerous. In fact I'd say it is her language and mentality that is the toxic thing in the equation. We can always rely on Abbey to cut through the crap!
i swear Abbey is a saint, i don't understand how she have the patiance to explain with actual data all this videos, some of them like this one i have to pause to scream because is so frustrating how misinformation is spread. just uhhhhggg! i love and admire you Abbey, keep up the good work! if you can please make a video sharing book titles (non cooking books) for us who like the topic of food!
The whole “food is poisoning us” can also be used by people who are incredibly ableist to create fear around disabilities, especially ones like autism. My neurodivergence wasn’t caused by food, and it can’t be cured by food, I was just born this way.
I mean... freelee is all about unlimited amounts of carbs and unrefined sugar/calories.... and sorelle’s first rule is to avoid sugar.... they r completely different lol
I feel like she started with the belief that all people should have access to food and clean water as a human right, but then just veered off into extreme restriction. Never mind proximity to the equator, there are some parts of world, such as indigenous communities in northern Canada where it is so cold that nothing ever grows and the majority of their food is what they can fish and what is canned or boxed and can be transported and stored easily. They still deserve to have access to fruits and vegetables, and increased technology allowing us to flash freeze and ship food allows that to happen. Also, just a mini rant, I started a soap and body product shop with my mom and the more research I do and look into the way that people sell certain things, the words "natural" and "clean" and "pure" mean absolutely nothing. They're all just unregulated marketing terms and should not influence our health or stop us from doing any further research on our own!
EXACTLY, it’s all just a way for companies to make more money because they see it’s a trend going around and there’s nothing to stop them doing it, I just wish people would wake up and start questioning why that product is “clean”
Ha!!! Seriously! I've never tried it, but coffee and any kind of nut butter sounds really disgusting to me. Like, ew. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just can't imagine coffee + nut butter being delicious.
@@juliezoutendam5338 Get the super cheap, full of everything, creamy peanut butter or else Nutella, and stir in a spoonful. It's decedent in a way you don't want it to be. But then again, anything with Nutella feels like that.
Sorelle has so many more issues. I followed her for her art but I stopped last year because she’s spreading bullshit without proper research (like Bluetooth gives you cancer, food is poison, etc etc). Super disappointing.
I adore Sorelle as a person and content creator but I definitely found that video triggering and couldn't finish it (experienced orthorexia in my early twenties after following Freelee back when she was recommending 30 bananas a day! I can't necessarily blame her but she led me down the garden path & the disorder ruined a huge part of uni for me!)
No comparison. While Sorelle is unquestionably more genetically endowed (read: more beautiful, and also very charming), Freelee is a thousandfold the better person. Speaking of banana-only regimen… no need to exaggerate: most people do not even eat a lot of fruits or veggies. Some subsist on meat, for instance. That's quite a bit unhealthier than 30 bananas a day.
The argument about our bodies supposedly not being 'adapted' for certain types is incredibly irritating and, quite frankly, total bs. I'm an anthropologist and one of my college courses was centered wholly around the human diet and how it has evolved, how we limit it, and nonsense claims about it (particularly the so-called 'Paleo Diet'). There is absolutely no reason to attempt to eat like our prehistoric ancestors did for so many reasons--major ones are that a) we don't really know what they ate (plus, food varied tremendously based on things like local/seasonal available and timeframe), and b) literally all of the food we have access to today would be unrecognizable to prehistoric hominins because it's evolved and been altered by people over hundreds (and in some cases thousands) of years. Major yikes that she implied that we shouldn't eat grains because we're not 'ready' for them.
but yet, we should be eating all this food so process and so much sugar in it. Like why we have cereal or coke or this Lays and crappy food? we dont need this either. We should eat just healthy food and a bit of sugar but not all the time because now we have so much diabetes and obese people, it is insane.
Exactly. The equator runs through my country Kenya, but there are so many fruits that don't grow naturally here or aren't common and we mostly import them like olives, figs, grapes, apples, blueberries, etc.
I'm sure I'm not your channel's demographic being a guy in my forties, but I really appreciate this channel. Your content helps inspire me to make changes where I'm at and consider my diet from a health (mental and physical) perspective. Also, it really helps that the videos (whether they be reviews of other channels, vlogs, recipes) make me understand that I'm not a bad person for eating things that I like but at the same time I can consider ways of adding nutrition and balance to my diet. So I just wanted to say thank you to balance out all that negative from being a public figure!
“Humans haven’t had enough time to evolve to eat bread”. Humans have had bread in their diet for ca. 45.000 years, I mean there are literally cave paintings of bread. I think that’s enough time. With the time Sorelle can save not focusing on food so much maybe she can pick up a history book or something I don’t know.
I am so saddened by this video. I struggled with Orthorexia years ago before TH-cam and social media really took off and there was no online "resource or personality" for me to be influenced by. This woman's video, is very dangerous for people easily influenced in regards to their food/health choices. While thankfully it is not triggering for me, I have been working through disordered eating for over 18 years. I can see how damaging this influence can be. I am so thankful this channel provides truth and science in a gracious manner and with balance added in. Thank you Abbey Sharp and team for being a light to so many!
I think she deleted the video but I remember seeing it on her channel right when she posted and thinking it was so triggering. It screamed orthorexia to me. Thank you for covering this!
It's funny how Sorelle mentioned that olive oil is poison yet there's a region in Italy that's in the blue zone, having many residents reach 90, 100 years old, even well surpassing that age. And their diet is far from being shy of olive oil and carbs in general.
God, she’s self righteous for someone who’s food beliefs are just wrong most of the time. The way she talks is insanely condescending and comes from a place of ill-informed privilege
Am I the only one that finds GMOs fascinating? Like the fact that humans are able the alter the DNA of food to make it larger, tastier, easier to produce, and in some cases even HEALTHIER! That’s so cool. I have no knowledge about the health benefits or negatives, but as someone who is absolutely fascinated by everything genetics and evolution, it is the coolest thing ever to me.
Emma Kilburg We’ve been doing it naturally over hundreds of thousands of years... the issue is that we can’t calculate the implications of doing it too fast, artificially, rather than through breeding and natural selection. One issue definitely is how GMO crops affect the overall ecosystem they are grown in.
pavotrouge oh ya I’m not saying they are better or worse or whatever, I just think that the implications of it aside, the fact that we have reached a point in human history where that is not only possible, but a regular part of our day to day lives for most people is super cool😄
As a plant biotechnologist I think it totally depends on where the GMO crop is used for, bt-eggplants in Bangladesh or golden rice are excellent examples of the good things GMO can do. On the other hand we have monstanto with their roundup ready crops that have ruined the publics opinion on GMOs....
pavotrouge breeding and natural selection cannot have implications calculated either. The results are random and not controlled, usually not tested either. GMOs are specific changes that are then rigorously tested. It should actually be easier to calculate implications and control results.
I never think twice when someone says filters are necessary for water because I live in a region where the water is so hard you could stone someone to death with the tap water.
Here we are on a giant bed of limestone, which is mainly calcium carbonate that make up everything from snail shells to pearls to Tums! We drain out our water heater, and the bottom is literally filled with white gravel. Now I want to toss it at people, thanks for the idea!
I have had one form of disordered eating or another for the past decade or more and your videos have been one of the only things that have helped me in my recovery. Thank you so much for everything you do Abbey. You really are making such a huge difference in the world.
OMG I love the pro-science approach to organic and GMO that you have, it's really a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for voicing this on your platform!
And the farmers market stuff too! I never thought I'd hear this all at once! I love it. Non-GMO, organic, farmers market foods are not this perfect thing that people think, sadly it's way more complicated than that. People really want a perfect solution but it doesn't exist. What we need is science and transparency so people can have the information they need to make educated decisions.
You are so right about the binging when you get access to sugar after not having for a long time. My mom has had the whole family on keto for months and I went on vacation and devoured a whole chocolate cake and was sick for days!! Now I can’t blame my mom for having us on a low carb diet because my dad has diabetes and it has really helped him come off all of his medication. But I had no idea how even the smell of sugar would trigger such a big response from me.
So relatable. My family went on a no salt diet for my grandpa that was put on a very strict diet from his doctor after a heart attack and I went to a friend's house and ate more chips than I have in my entire life and felt disgusting. I feel really bad for people who do crazy restrictive diets like no salt or super low carb by choice.
Makyla Mosley My auntie did this. She went on a no sugar diet for what must have been a year. One day after restricting for so long, she went on a huge sugar binge and actually fainted from experiencing a “high” for the sugar!! My taking from this was everything in moderation, always.
Im not surprised! When you cut out something from your body for a long time. You need to introduce it slowely - regardless of how healthy / unhealthy it is. Iv gone through the same thing with sugar aswell!! I felt horrible. =(
Wait why would your dad go on a keto diet if he has diabetes If his blood sugar crashes, he's gonna need carbs to bring it up. Sorry I'm just very confused. My boyfriend has diabetes and a keto diet would land him in the hospital.
I'm late to this party, but as a farmer, I SO appreciate your informed and science-based understanding of organic and GMO issues. I have worked in both organic and conventional, livestock and plant, large and small agriculture, and there's soooo much to the conversation outside of "good" and "bad". THANK YOU!
Her use of the word “poison” to describe everything drove me crazy!!!!!! Clearly she has no evidence based studies to back up her claims so that’s the only thing she can say to get people’s attention. Thank you so much for shedding light on these problematic claims Abbey!!
me too. I loved her videos about photography but this video triggered me so bad and i'm 7 years in recovery.. can't imagine the damage it's doing to people currently struggling with ED
your reaction to "cooking with olive oil is poison" had me cracking up. Just looking up and shaking her your like "lord, give me strength to deal with this nonsense"
Ikr I live in the Mediterranean and use olive oil on everything "Its not ok to cook with olive oil" lol ok I guess all these years of greeks using it they were unhealthy
I know I've commented this before, but I just want to say that the sacrifices you make to post videos IS worth it. Your videos have helped me learn things I would have taken years to figure out, and I am sure there are many other people who feel this way. So thank you for continuing despite the pressure, and take any negative comments with a grain of salt!
I am somewhat astonished. I didn't think something like a reasonable and mature youtuber actually existed. (Yes, even among the adult youtubers.) This sounds all very reasonable and balanced and adult. No weird agenda pushing, no overselling, no black and white thinking, no awkward behavior, just studies and facts and a healthy discussion around it. I like it.
Abbey, I know life online is tough at times and very pressured. Could you please NOT quit soon? Please stay strong - some of us depend on your sanity in here 😍
Finally!! Was waiting for this one... but 40 min??? You got me scared there! I really liked Sorelle’s videos and photography stuff but when I saw this one... it touched a nerve. Your “woah” face right in the beginning: priceless ahaah
Abby I’m so glad I found your channel a year ago, you have kept me from falling into so many “healthy” TH-camrs channels and thinking they know what they are talking about and either wasting my time until I realize they just don’t know things or have eating problems themselves or falling into their ways of thinking and eating myself.
I'm currently taking human nutrition as part of my nursing pre requisites and watching these videos seriously helps me understand my textbook even more ❤
don't know where this notion that our ancestors were healthier comes from. Even ignoring the difference in life expectancy, look at archaeological discoveries around the globe in difference eras - they've found signs of heart disease everywhere. I'm curious on the fasting research, but even if something comes of it, my postcholecystectomy digestion makes it a non-starter.
Mind Over Munch has been making big attempts to take out harmful language like "clean" from their videos! Would love to see you dive into her content eventually!
Abbey!! Can you pleaaase make a video on how to buy meat?? I am SO confused about Organic, Grass Fed, Vegetarian Fed, Vegetarian Diet, etccc!! When I go to whole foods is fine because they usually carry organic AND grass fed at the same time! But in most other stores, is one or the other... and when it’s just vegetarian fed, I just have no clue if that’s the same as grass fed or if it’s just a marketing strategic word 😓
Vegeterian fed means that it is fed mostly grains and that it is from conventional factory farm (if organic is not stated directly) 😵 If you want grass-fed and organic, both must be declared on package. If there is only organic it does not have to be grass-fed only, but it can mean that it is fed organic grains and sometimes the animals can be outside and have grass (however, definitely better than factory farmed!!) . I.e.organic does not equal grass-fed (it can, but you should ask the farm...but if it is not stated it is not probable)
Just a small bit of advice for anyone who doesnt have a lot of space for gardening, but does want to grow (some of) their own food: strawberries, herbs, garlic, and onions can all be grown in window boxes! Just be careful to keep them away from cats. They're also no more labor intensive than a regualr potted plant!
Abbey, I have to say - I am loving your energy in this video. I am having a really bad day and your exasperated, not-taking-shit attitude is really resonating with me.
@@beatrizaceiton2685 my husband had a seizure and he has never had one before. It was scary and I can't be at the hospital with him while he gets tests done.
Whoa, I'm sorry, I can't. I was glad you put a disclaimer. Thought I could do it. But this is too triggering. Ugh, gave me a flashback of my old food rules. Shakes my head. I hope Sorelle (I think that's her name) soon comes to term with this strict regimen and loosens her reins. Maybe when she fully commits to quitting her social media account.
God I remember watching her video ages ago. As someone struggling with an ED, videos like hers definitely contributed to the misinformation I was happily obsessed with. Now I’m just trying to repair myself, your videos help a lot :)
I find it crazy that she's talking about water purity and having a filter while in Iceland, which literally has some of the cleanest drinking water in the world 😭
The crossover I never knew I needed!!! I started following her 4 years ago when I lived in Iceland but Jesus Christ she’s gotten very.... outspoken... as her platform has grown
Hi Abbey! Thanks for making this video. I noted that you talked about ‘our First Nations ancestors’ as a Canadian, and I am hoping that you can think more about how you approach discussing Indigenous food systems in the future. As an Indigenous person and a Canadian, it is important for me to point out that most Canadians do not have First Nations ancestors, and while I don’t believe you are intending to appropriate Indigenous ways of being, it’s important to acknowledge that these food systems belong to unique and diverse Nations and peoples. More importantly, Canadian colonization has disrupted traditional Indigenous food systems. Many Indigenous people do not have access to the same healthy land-based food (and water!) that their ancestors did, and are facing higher rates of adverse health as a result. While I was happy to hear you bring up Indigenous food systems as a healthy way of eating, I would encourage you to learn more about Indigenous food sovereignty and the challenges that many Indigenous peoples face in accessing healthy, affordable foods and safe drinking water. I love your videos and I hope this comment sparks some interesting learning for you!
I just watched the Netflix movie Gather and really got me interested in food sovereignty and that whole aspect of colonization. Very good movie for anyone who has absolutely no knowledge of this subject.
I know this is a little outside of your normal WIEAD reviews but I’d love to see you review the WIEADs of some homesteading type channels. Simple Living Alaska did a good challenge last year where they lived off only what they had grown, raised, or foraged, or caught for an entire month that I’d love your opinion on. (It was the middle of winter so think ice fishing, hunting, home canned food, and lots of root veggies.)
I cant thank you enough for these videos. You really are doing the internet such a service by teaching us practical applications of academic dietary knowledge. I have lost over 20 pounds since I started watching you. Thanks abbey!!
As someone who struggled with restrictions for “purity and health”, this video is VERY informative and helpful. I have come far in my food journey, but I just wanted to say that informational videos like this actually help break arbitrary food rules I’ve created for myself. Thank you!
Abbey, your videos are always so informative! It would be SO cool if you did a video on organic/GMO/pesticides because your little snippet in this video was already so interesting!
I really want you to know that I just found your channel and it has been HUGE for me! I'm the girl that watches all the "influencer what I eat in a day video" and believed everything they said. Finding your videos has been so great for me. Thank you thank you thank you. I hope that this helps make the pressure a little more worth it.
26:00 My mom was diagnosed with celiac disease about 8 years ago ish and she is very grateful and impressed with the selection as well as the quality of gluten free foods that have been coming about recently- compared to when she was first diagnosed. It’s awesome seeing the food advancements we’ve made as a collective society towards supporting individuals with food related allergies and/or conditions needs.
This woman is the definition of privileged person expecting everyone to be able to live her lifestyle. If only everyone was as fortunate to make these strict choices.
I actually unfollowed her after she posted her videos about her diet. I thought the rules contradicted each other and she was talking about subjects she's clearly not qualified to preach about.
I'll never forget when I was a kid, and I overheard my aunt telling her daughters ‘no sugar, that sugar is poison” my cousin is now a teen and I'm hoping I can guide her through a healthy food relationship
I’m 21 I would probably believe all of this stuff at age 16-18 cause I definitely had strict “diets” I was even vegan for 3 years & recently started eating seafood then slowly meat & I allow myself to eat “junk food” , I’ve been losing weight and building muscle regardless of what I eat , I was so weak when I was going though all of those diets .
I'm glad you're feeling better now, eating disorders are awful and people like Sorrell are toxic!! Veganism is NOT a diet though I really wish we could get past this misconception.
Could you please do a video on how to have a balanced diet when EVERYTHING makes you sick? I have IBS and I've had to cut out so much I feel like I'm lacking. I haven't cut these foods out for any other reason than they genuinely make me sick. My trigger foods are meat, eggs, dairy, gluten, avocados, and soy. I also have to limit my sugar intake because I'm hypoglycemic and very sensitive to high sugar foods. How do we (people with digestive issues) find balance when we're so limited?
Monique Shorten I definitely feel this! I have fructose malabsorption. It definitely makes the eat your “fruits and veggies” stuff hard. The whole experience has left me annoyed with people who cut amazing food, like apple pie, for no real reason.
I used to love Sorelle (because of her Advanced Selfies), but was finding myself drifting away from her content more and more towards the end of last year. Then when I started hearing her talking about food, that was finally it for me, and I completely unfollowed/unsubscribed. Her eating is so restrictive, and it bothered me how she (like other people have already mentioned here) stated all her beliefs as if they were factual.
I feel you. At first I couldn't put my finger on why I stopped watching Sorelle, but it's because i didn't realise at first how much her content and "beliefs" have been changing.
@@cupofhannah9335 Haha they're just self-portraits! Sorelle started calling them Advanced Selfies since they're more planned/thought out photos rather than the usual cellphone selfie.
As someone who studied nutrition at university myself I can say this lady is such a professional. I adore her ❤️ I love the sensible approach she takes and how she debunks some common misconceptions. So many tropes and stereotypes about nutrition, you need context to understand and these vids are very informative in that way. Great research 👍
Abbey, thank you so much for making these videos! TH-cam needs more people like you!!! About this whole "organic" debate here's a little fun fact: You'd be surprised how many, no matter where in the world, actually grow their food organically but it isn't labeled as such. The reason is that getting this certification is so expensive and it is such a complicated procedure that farmers just don't bother. Some reference context: I am a social scientist and I mainly work on sustainability transitions in agriculture. So I have interviewed a LOT of farmers in Europe and also in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Olive oil is poison? I picture a wave of Italians throwing olives at her.
😫
Hey, I’m Polish, raised on olive oil dressings and would be right there ready to lob a few olives myself.
You pictured right. We are ready
I heard a vegan food youtuber once say that heating up olive oil releases toxins (or is toxic) which was veryy questionable
Throwing olives at her? What a waste of olives!!! 🙄
I’m sorry, did she say that we haven’t evolved to eat grains, one of the major crops that kicked started agriculture and fueled the evolution of human civilization? What?
So many people believe that! It's the thing that made us so successful, helped extend our lives and improve our health. It's just outrageous that people think we were healthier somehow before we began cultivating grains.
I know, she really needs to deep dive into some nutritional evolution papers...
Which is made stranger by that fact that she is eating gluten free products which often have more unnatural ingredients and sugar to make them taste better for people who need to eat gluten free. You would think with all these food rules she has made herself the item with less processing and less sugar would be better.
😫
This! It drives me crazy when people say that. Fruit, meat, and, later grains, are obviously the main sources of food we would eat. Growing enough veggies to fuel ourselves for a day is extremely difficult. Even with our fancy cultivated varieties with less seed and more edible portion. Grains and fruit are far more nutrient dense, easier to grow (fruit at least), and easier to preserve. Its obvious that those are likely our primary forms of nutrition.
I'm confused. She says eating fruit is not natural if one does not live close to the equator, so does she suggest everything one eats should be local. A lot of the things she eats aren't naturally occurring in Iceland.
By her logic, it is not natural for anyone in Iceland to eat coconut oil, tapioca flour or basically any fresh vegetables during winter months. They are all imported from areas closer to the equator.
Is she promoting traditional Icelandic diet, the one the Vikings ate? Does her diet consist of cod, ammonia (urine) preserved shark, sheep, sheep blood sausage? In Iceland not that many vegetables grow naturally.
That's what I was thinking , we are not here to shame or nothing this is just a discussion , I get her point of consuming locally grown and native produce to the country or area you live in , I live by this because this is what my parents and grandparents did for years . I believe it evolutionary makes sense . But she lives in iceland and like you said that country has so little resources the natives live on fat and meat because , the old natives had to survive and adjust to the cold harsh atmosphere , fat and protein are key sources to store energy needed for survival . At least she should've applied what she preaches.
Anjel - yes LOL thank you!!!!
no kidding. was also confused if she was tying the local eating to her evolutionary claims either - if so, how are us with mixed heritage supposed to figure out what we're allowed to eat - take the average latitude and longitude or eat %40 Irish 10% argentinian 25% aboriginal australian 25% norweigian?
😩
Fruit grows in most climates. The variety available is different in each climate, but with very few exceptions fruits of one kind or another are available during the growing season and even longer with greenhouses.
So hair dye is ok, but fruit is poisonous? Ugh.
There are non toxic hair dyes like arctic fox lol but I get your point
b Sorelle claimed anything not naturally occurring is toxic. The ingredients in Article Fox are not naturally occurring and she couldn't get her black hair blue without bleaching it first. Also Artic Fox isn't even "non toxic". It has chemicals just like every other hair dye. Sure they leave out some of the harsher chemicals but all hair dye is "non toxic". You aren't allowed to sell toxic products for people to put on their bodies. Toxicity is related to dosage of ingredients, not specific ingredients themselves. Water is toxic if you have enough of it.
😫
@@AbbeysKitchen 🙄😭😂
@@b8665 Considering she seems overly fixated with the idea of "pure" and "organic"... with those standards, even arctic fox hair dye would be considered toxic. There is no such thing as truly non-toxic hair dye, all chemicals used in arctic fox are what would be registered as "no significant toxicity" yet that does not mean zero toxicity... just means it's not toxic enough to pose a real threat to your health, especially when used as indicated.
Chemicals are poison... But how did your hair get blue?
Andrea 🤣🤣
i lost it thank you! ANd how did she lift her natural colour out?!
💀💀💀

ahahahah totally
I ate a banana today. I'm from Scotland so it was that bad for me that I spontaneously combusted. Should have eaten it closer to the equator 🤤
Joshua Le Vin We're only allowed to eat rain water directly from the skin into our mouths and wild caught haggis.
Fyffe / fife cannae see ony difference 😂
😂😂
Same! I had the utter audacity to nom some pineapple (non-organic) in Glasgow today. I died, my maw’s died, da’s grown multiple limbs. Devastating. Entire country of Scotland just OBLITERATED by a supermarket’s fresh produce section.
I live in Wisconsin. I had 2 bananas so far today and have yet to be struck down by lightning.
Gross... "before I had accumulated wealth, through hard work..." come on man. What a privileged statement lol. I could work myself to the bone and end up destitute just from unlucky events.
That was a truly disgusting statement, implying less fortunate people are like that just because they are lazy. Ugh.
Exactly!
YES!!!! I thought I was the only one who got upset about that. The idea that the only reason to be lower or temporarily no income is laziness is just a stupid lie pushed by capitalism! No matter how hard you work, SOMETIMES IT DOESN’T WORK BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE CAN RUN THE FACTORY, SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO BE THE FACTORY WORKER.
Agreed, VERY entitled statement to make!!!
Almost made me laugh out loud. What a disgusting ridiculous statement.
sorelle: "DON'T COOK WITH OLIVE OIL"
me, a spanish/mediterranian person: no ❤️
I am greek and I thought the same!
Same
Same haha No sé quién es esta muchacha pero está fatal de la cabeza
😂
Portuguese here and I had the exact same reaction!
As an Italian, the "olive oil is poison" part KILLED me.
😫
Lol same
especially because we italians are some of the healthiest and longest living.... lol
And we are all skinny in italy! what an idiotic statement
I actually saw and episode off Zac Efron show that talks about Sardinia, Italy that is home to the world's longest-living people. So I'm guessing the Italian olive oil lover's are doing just fine. ❤️
I find this girl’s attitude extremely annoying and condescending especially when she doesn’t have any idea what she’s going on about? How can you sit there and tell people they NEED all these unnecessary things when some people don’t even get to eat everyday bc of poverty and homelessness. I’m literally screaming inside even the “accumulated wealth through hard work 😉” made me irrationally angry lol
Yes! I rolled my eyes so hard at the “hard work” comment. She needs a wake up call.
That comment was so passive aggressive 🤣
Maybe this is why she's stepping back, wishing her well
Hard work...k. She’s a good photographer and did use her marketing background to grow her account, but a lot of her success is due to being considered very attractive and using that to her advantage in her selfies. I’m sure she did put work into getting her paid courses together but after that it’s passive income and not active work so I mean yeah she hustled but was it hard per se? Who knows. I do think her Lightroom and photo tips are helpful but agree she’s gone a bit off deep end past year or so.
She probably read a few healthline articles on these topics and now thinks she's a nutritionist. 🙄 And I agree she's very like "I wanna be inclusive" but constantly contradicts herself
i don’t think she understands how dangerous her (sorelle) advice is. if i has watched her content when i was in the thick of my disordered eating i would have hung on every word she said. i’m so tired of these “clean eating” fear mongers on social media
and honestly watch Abbey’s videos and her commentary on how to eat a full and well rounded diet helped me so much in my recovery. now i can and do eat whatever i want when i want. my relationship with food has never been healthier and i’ve never been healthier
totally agree with u girl , i feel the same tbh
At this point I wish the word clean was just banned from describing anything other than getting rid of dirt. I’m so fed up of hearing everything being called “clean” GAH
I know. I'm sorry if it was triggering for you
I agree. It was anxiety inducing to watch Sorelle. Even now that I’m in the thick on intuitive eating .
There’s a lot of ego and judgement attached to her diet rules.
🙁
what does this mean?
@@franci-uz Imagine if you can't afford to do all of the things that she advocates.
@@nanettemorton4054 are you talking about Abby? Getting a balanced diet is actually economical, as long as your avoid buying expensive pre-made food. You basically need a small fortune for some fad diets.

Why would she be filtering her tap water in Iceland?! It's some of the cleanest water on the planet.
Right? I was thinking the same. She even said it herself ( at least more than two years ago) i really like her iceland videos, but this is eew
😫
i was thinking the same!!!!! absolutely insane and a total waste of money
As an icelander, can confirm. Nobody, and I mean not anyone, has a waterfilter in their homes
@@ingakarlsson Seems ridiculous. We visited a couple years ago (we had the best time), and it blew us away how delicious the water was. Once we got home, our filtered water tasted like trash.
sorelle "acknowledging her privilege" to buy organic is the equivalent of a backhanded compliment because she attaches it with saying she can buy organic "with the money she works hard for." this is essentially making the argument that if people worked hard they would also have the privilege of buying organic. this just is a terribly flawed rhetoric. I am a college student who works hard to pay for 100% of my college via a job while maintaining a 4.0 GPA in my honors program. While I have money, I would be sacrificing my education or living space or luxuries (ie phone, internet) to pay 2-3x as much for an organic version. And that's me, a middle class american with access! imagine all of the people in less opportune circumstances or locations. I'm just so tired of the equal opportunity fallacy.
Yep well said
That is a really good point. I worked on a huge grocery store as an online order collector. The job was rough, and even though I worked my ass off, I still could only afford to pay the essentials, like my really small mortage (cheap home in cheap area), electricity, water and food. The salary was low, and there were no better jobs available at that point. I no longer work there, but I really understand how it is not always possible to just buy organic. It is privileged to think everybody has the same opportunities.
Plus organic is just a label they slap on food they 99% the time grow right next to the non organic food and get the same treatment.
@Michael Ellingsworth you're a special kind of stupid aren't you Karen
phones and the internet aren't really luxuries these days, I don't know what it's like where you live but you can't apply for jobs or access government services without one (or a laptop)
But. She consumes coconut oil and milk, which is a stone fruit that I am pretty sure is not growing nowhere near Iceland? I am just 12 minutes in, but I am confused
Also coconut oil is a saturated fat UNLIKE olive oil !!
As a trained biochemist who works with some hardcore chemicals regularly, I don't think she understands that anything can be a poison in certain doses or contexts. (Also am I the only when who gets annoyed when things that can't be gmos are marked as non gmo?)
My favorite is nonGMO salt 👌
Yes yes yes! My personal favorite is non gmo pepper. I really wish the non-GMO label could be restricted from products that doing have a GMO counterpart to begin with.
Also a biochemist, also annoyed with the anti-science scare tactics🤦🏼♀️
@@alexg7832 Well, pepper can be GMO because unlike salt that one can't just grow, pepper is a plant where the peppercorns are the fruit of the plant.
Idk if this counts but one time this raw vegan girl who is notorious on YT was boasting about having “non-GMO corn” and I was like baby girl... that’s impossible. Corn in its modern sense would not exist had it not been modified... needless to say she took down the post after I commented that lmfaoo
In January of this year, I cut all added sugar out of my diet. I was even careful not to eat fruits with too high levels of naturally occurring sugar. I did this for nearly four months and definitely began to taste the sweetness in things that had previously tasted bitter to me which was nice, but my cravings for delicious milk chocolate did not diminish at all ! I don't think my brain was retrained. I kept this up until late April when my birthday came around. I allowed myself to eat whatever my heart desired on my birthday and just like you mentioned when I was exposed to sugary treats I literally couldn't stop. I ate most of an ENTIRE nutella birthday cake to myself with a whole tub of ice cream and all kinds of chocolate biscuits and sugary treats throughout the day. I had never eaten that much before in my entire life, I still don't really understand what happened to me that day.
I decided that I was not going to be able to maintain a sugar-free life forever without risking huge sugar binges once in a while like my birthday, so now I let myself have sugary treats whenever I fancy and so I only ever want them in moderation. Since I accepted that it's ok to have a sweet tooth I've felt much happier. A balanced approach is the best for me. The vendetta against sugar needs to stop ! You can have a healthy diet whilst still enjoying sugary foods ! :)
You just reminded me of when I made this amazing chocolate cake and pretty much ate 3-4 servings of it a day until it was gone. It was good and It wasn't like I binged it in one sitting (it was spread over 2 weeks). But it was during the time I was trying to lose weight and restricting some of my food. Even when I was trying to eat less sugar, I didn't crave it any less and even more so when I could have it. I don't stop myself when I do want some sweets now, but I eat a far more moderate amount and freeze portions for later rather than eat a whole chocolate cake myself, basically.
Yes! whenever I've tried to cut out sugar, my cravings for it don't go away even though I appreciate the natural sweetness of other foods more.
I agree, strict sugar free diet is too restrictive. I personally consume sugary foods in moderation. If I want can of coke once a while I allow myself to have it, but I won't have it every day or several times a day. Or I know that cereal contains a lot of added sugar and I simply don't eat it for breakfast, sometimes I have a bowl for desssert. But checking every label for sugar content is exhausting. Everything in moderation is the best rule.
My mom always told me "Life's too long to be unhappy" so I'll be damned if anyone is going to make me stop putting sugar in my coffee!
Gina Di Vito you can enjoy sweet foods/treats without consuming cane sugar, or other sugars that add empty calories and spike blood sugar.
Plenty of options....Monk Fruit sweetener, stevia, Erythritol, xylitol.
Chocolate is a deadset Superfood.
NO, not in the form it's available on a supermarket shelf.
Buy your own 100% Organic cacao nibs (or powdered form) and make your own chocolates with cacao butter, Grass Fed butter, or coconut oil.
If you're not intolerant to dairy, make your own killer hot chocolate with the same ingredients.
Even small amounts of Coconut sugar and Manuka honey are fine in yogurts, kefir, smoothies etc...
There is zero requirement for simple processed sugar in your diet with so many healthy alternatives.
"No toxins" sorry liver and kidneys you've gotta go
😂
This was honestly a depressing watch, I feel so bad for that girl. There is so much worry about "poison" being everywhere to the point of almost sounding paranoid, completely contradictory pointless claims, and a total lack of joy around food. I don't want to bash her or anything, I wish her all the best, but it's concerning that she has influence and spreads her health anxiety as something people should look up to and follow. Thanks for the video Abbey, really important to spread this message.
She's making a lot of money spreading this BS so I wouldn't feel that bad for her.
@@ameliat8981 Mental health is more important to me than money, so yeah, the fact that she does doesn't somehow make her relationship with food not troubled. She cannot be happy.
Glad it was helpful
@@ivacukic She isn't. I had orthorexia and it sucks the joy out of everything. You can't focus on anything other than food (aside from the brief periods of peace after binges), so you can't even enjoy the money you make.
So everything is tainted and poisonous? It really sounds like she’s scared of food.
I hope she can find some peace with food
I find it a little strange when people who have super strict regiments build them on contradictory explanations. I mean, take the "check your distance to the equator" rule re. fruit. Wouldn't that apply to coconuts too? I.e. no coconut flour and coconut oil? Asking for a friend...
Yes! Omg this!
I thought the same thing. What if you moved from a different area. Should you be eating from the area you were born in??
@@letthePigeondrivethebus Yeah, precisely.
Is it genetics and if so, what about people who have, say, one parent from Hawaii and the other from Norway?
And if it's the place you were raised: What ages matter? Why would the body not be able to adapt? Especially since it's perfectly able to adapt to factors like severe temperature and time zone differences?
It just baffles me how inconsistent this is.
Also (having had hair in all colours of the rainbow myself): The whole "everything that's not natural and clean is toxic"-spin strikes me as especially odd coming from somebody who dies their hair blue...
😫😫
While not defending such a restrictive diet or her reasons behind it There is at least a kernel of logic in eschewing fresh exotic produce like the fruit, but not necessarily exotic processed ingredients like coconut flour.
It comes down to the environmental cost of transporting fresh produce from the other side of the world in a timeframe and under conditions that means it is not a rotting lump of halfcomposted organic matter when it reaches the consumer, ie has to be flown there in environmentally controlled containers. And commonly have a higher degree of food waste involved as not all of it makes the journey in a fit to sell condition. Vs a much more shelf stable product that you could in essence stick on an oxcart then on a sailboat and it would still be ok when it arrived a year later.
I think there’s a big difference between being knowledgeable about the food you put in your body and over thinking everything you put in your body. It just doesn’t need to be this complicated.
For sure!
not only is it unnecessarily complicated but there is obviously flawed logic too :/
Also, why is it so hard for people to remember that balance is key?!
Yes!
Omg... she has over thought this to insanity. When she talked about her moms diet while pregnant effecting her metabolism.... whaaaaaaa? My brain short-circuited
On the topic of *organic*, here in Ohio, over half the state is farmland. I’ve worked with many farmers at my last job and several used to be *organic*.
They only need to pass an inspection by a percentage in order to be considered an “organic farm”.Not only that, when they go to have future inspections to keep their *organic* label, inspectors pretty much just do a questionnaire style approach and don’t even tour the farm or check the crops.
Yes, many farmers have lied. Why? Because they are struggling severely in the farming industry and this entire organic movement is their lifeline. They use techniques to safeguard their crops that are not considered *organic*, but they’re able to sell at a higher price since people will pay more if they believe the product is ‘healthier’.
This isn’t to point blame at the dishonesty of farmers, but so many farmers are taking their lives because they cannot survive when they try to make an honest buck.
If you want to truly eat organic, grow your own garden....then you’ll see how difficult it is to manage.
Hahahah absolutely this. SMH at Sorelle 😭😂
$$$
Luckily, most of the world has much tighter restrictions for what can be sold as organic. EU conventional standards are almost the same as US organic 😳 Und Swiss conventional standards for agriculture are higher than EU organic in many cases. Just for some perspective.

This takes me back to my orthorexic days when tap water turned to acid in my throat and I was convinced I was poisoning myself. It was the same with food. If it wasnt clean it was toxic and I would fast and purge if I ate things that weren't included in my religion. Of course then I fixated, binged and purged in a cycle that nearly broke me. I'll never forget crying and eating boxes of cakes in the rain cause I couldnt help myself with my 'addiction'. Through wellness food had become toxic to me. Her language is very dangerous. In fact I'd say it is her language and mentality that is the toxic thing in the equation. We can always rely on Abbey to cut through the crap!

The whole “food is poisoning us” can also be used by people who are incredibly ableist to create fear around disabilities, especially ones like autism. My neurodivergence wasn’t caused by food, and it can’t be cured by food, I was just born this way.

@@b8665 I'm sure he means personality wise and they way they approach health overall
and they're both peddling anti-science conspiracy theories on their instagrams, so gross
I just thought of the same thing lol
I feel like she started with the belief that all people should have access to food and clean water as a human right, but then just veered off into extreme restriction. Never mind proximity to the equator, there are some parts of world, such as indigenous communities in northern Canada where it is so cold that nothing ever grows and the majority of their food is what they can fish and what is canned or boxed and can be transported and stored easily. They still deserve to have access to fruits and vegetables, and increased technology allowing us to flash freeze and ship food allows that to happen.
Also, just a mini rant, I started a soap and body product shop with my mom and the more research I do and look into the way that people sell certain things, the words "natural" and "clean" and "pure" mean absolutely nothing. They're all just unregulated marketing terms and should not influence our health or stop us from doing any further research on our own!
Thank you for sharing!
EXACTLY, it’s all just a way for companies to make more money because they see it’s a trend going around and there’s nothing to stop them doing it, I just wish people would wake up and start questioning why that product is “clean”
good luck with your soap and body product business! :)

@@nadine3419 Probably overloaded of info. Better to disconnect since she can't shuffle true facts from hoax.
Same, especially her recent covid conspiracy theories just made me so mad I had to unfollow.
I adore Sorelle as a person and content creator but I definitely found that video triggering and couldn't finish it (experienced orthorexia in my early twenties after following Freelee back when she was recommending 30 bananas a day! I can't necessarily blame her but she led me down the garden path & the disorder ruined a huge part of uni for me!)
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sorry it was triggering for you
I FEEL THIS.
Nah. You're responsible for your own choices.
sending hugs and strength from afar, Freelee influenced a lot of people and not in a positive way
No comparison. While Sorelle is unquestionably more genetically endowed (read: more beautiful, and also very charming), Freelee is a thousandfold the better person. Speaking of banana-only regimen… no need to exaggerate: most people do not even eat a lot of fruits or veggies. Some subsist on meat, for instance. That's quite a bit unhealthier than 30 bananas a day.
The argument about our bodies supposedly not being 'adapted' for certain types is incredibly irritating and, quite frankly, total bs. I'm an anthropologist and one of my college courses was centered wholly around the human diet and how it has evolved, how we limit it, and nonsense claims about it (particularly the so-called 'Paleo Diet'). There is absolutely no reason to attempt to eat like our prehistoric ancestors did for so many reasons--major ones are that a) we don't really know what they ate (plus, food varied tremendously based on things like local/seasonal available and timeframe), and b) literally all of the food we have access to today would be unrecognizable to prehistoric hominins because it's evolved and been altered by people over hundreds (and in some cases thousands) of years. Major yikes that she implied that we shouldn't eat grains because we're not 'ready' for them.
Thank you for sharing
but yet, we should be eating all this food so process and so much sugar in it. Like why we have cereal or coke or this Lays and crappy food? we dont need this either. We should eat just healthy food and a bit of sugar but not all the time because now we have so much diabetes and obese people, it is insane.
Whew, it has to be exhausting having all these restrictions.
🙁
Ironically im from the caribbean (so closer to the equator) and theres so much fruits that dont grow here. Strawberries, blueberries,apples etc
Exactly. The equator runs through my country Kenya, but there are so many fruits that don't grow naturally here or aren't common and we mostly import them like olives, figs, grapes, apples, blueberries, etc.
I'm sure I'm not your channel's demographic being a guy in my forties, but I really appreciate this channel. Your content helps inspire me to make changes where I'm at and consider my diet from a health (mental and physical) perspective. Also, it really helps that the videos (whether they be reviews of other channels, vlogs, recipes) make me understand that I'm not a bad person for eating things that I like but at the same time I can consider ways of adding nutrition and balance to my diet. So I just wanted to say thank you to balance out all that negative from being a public figure!
Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad it is helpful
There's no way coffee and tea grows on Iceland. Don't put it in your body Sorelle! You're too far North!! 😉
“Humans haven’t had enough time to evolve to eat bread”. Humans have had bread in their diet for ca. 45.000 years, I mean there are literally cave paintings of bread. I think that’s enough time. With the time Sorelle can save not focusing on food so much maybe she can pick up a history book or something I don’t know.
Slayed hahaha
I am so saddened by this video. I struggled with Orthorexia years ago before TH-cam and social media really took off and there was no online "resource or personality" for me to be influenced by. This woman's video, is very dangerous for people easily influenced in regards to their food/health choices. While thankfully it is not triggering for me, I have been working through disordered eating for over 18 years. I can see how damaging this influence can be. I am so thankful this channel provides truth and science in a gracious manner and with balance added in. Thank you Abbey Sharp and team for being a light to so many!
Glad it is helpful!
Excited for this video!!!! As a woman who struggles with disordered eating I love watching your videos as they are so helpful in my recovery.
I hope you have a good recovery❤️ you got this
Same here. I love the gentle reality checks of my own food rules/hang-ups
Hey Abbey your positive view on food have really helped me not fall back in to my former ED when I had to lose weight for my surgery.
Thank you ❤️
So glad they are helpful
I think she deleted the video but I remember seeing it on her channel right when she posted and thinking it was so triggering. It screamed orthorexia to me. Thank you for covering this!
Glad it was helpful!
It's funny how Sorelle mentioned that olive oil is poison yet there's a region in Italy that's in the blue zone, having many residents reach 90, 100 years old, even well surpassing that age. And their diet is far from being shy of olive oil and carbs in general.
Whoa I’ve never heard of her before but I’m always grateful for your insight abbey!!!
😊❤️
Hey girl, we meet again 😂
omg i just saw u on brooke miccio’s video
God, she’s self righteous for someone who’s food beliefs are just wrong most of the time. The way she talks is insanely condescending and comes from a place of ill-informed privilege
😫
She talks like that about all topics, not just food.
sorelle: if you don't live near the equator don't eat fruit ... also sorelle: buys farm in iceland to grow her own fruit, herbs, etc
😫😫
Am I the only one that finds GMOs fascinating? Like the fact that humans are able the alter the DNA of food to make it larger, tastier, easier to produce, and in some cases even HEALTHIER! That’s so cool. I have no knowledge about the health benefits or negatives, but as someone who is absolutely fascinated by everything genetics and evolution, it is the coolest thing ever to me.
Emma Kilburg We’ve been doing it naturally over hundreds of thousands of years... the issue is that we can’t calculate the implications of doing it too fast, artificially, rather than through breeding and natural selection. One issue definitely is how GMO crops affect the overall ecosystem they are grown in.
pavotrouge oh ya I’m not saying they are better or worse or whatever, I just think that the implications of it aside, the fact that we have reached a point in human history where that is not only possible, but a regular part of our day to day lives for most people is super cool😄
As a plant biotechnologist I think it totally depends on where the GMO crop is used for, bt-eggplants in Bangladesh or golden rice are excellent examples of the good things GMO can do. On the other hand we have monstanto with their roundup ready crops that have ruined the publics opinion on GMOs....
pavotrouge breeding and natural selection cannot have implications calculated either. The results are random and not controlled, usually not tested either. GMOs are specific changes that are then rigorously tested. It should actually be easier to calculate implications and control results.
For sure!
I never think twice when someone says filters are necessary for water because I live in a region where the water is so hard you could stone someone to death with the tap water.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even then, you might wanna filter hard water for taste, but it's not unhealthier than soft water is
Here we are on a giant bed of limestone, which is mainly calcium carbonate that make up everything from snail shells to pearls to Tums! We drain out our water heater, and the bottom is literally filled with white gravel. Now I want to toss it at people, thanks for the idea!
@@Caeilia True, soft water can also leach things you don't want in your water- like metals from old piping for example.
@@jessicah3450 Have fun!
I have had one form of disordered eating or another for the past decade or more and your videos have been one of the only things that have helped me in my recovery. Thank you so much for everything you do Abbey. You really are making such a huge difference in the world.
OMG I love the pro-science approach to organic and GMO that you have, it's really a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for voicing this on your platform!
And the farmers market stuff too! I never thought I'd hear this all at once! I love it. Non-GMO, organic, farmers market foods are not this perfect thing that people think, sadly it's way more complicated than that. People really want a perfect solution but it doesn't exist. What we need is science and transparency so people can have the information they need to make educated decisions.
Glad it was helpful!
You are so right about the binging when you get access to sugar after not having for a long time. My mom has had the whole family on keto for months and I went on vacation and devoured a whole chocolate cake and was sick for days!!
Now I can’t blame my mom for having us on a low carb diet because my dad has diabetes and it has really helped him come off all of his medication.
But I had no idea how even the smell of sugar would trigger such a big response from me.
So relatable. My family went on a no salt diet for my grandpa that was put on a very strict diet from his doctor after a heart attack and I went to a friend's house and ate more chips than I have in my entire life and felt disgusting. I feel really bad for people who do crazy restrictive diets like no salt or super low carb by choice.
Makyla Mosley My auntie did this. She went on a no sugar diet for what must have been a year. One day after restricting for so long, she went on a huge sugar binge and actually fainted from experiencing a “high” for the sugar!! My taking from this was everything in moderation, always.
christielikespizza YES! Exactly. Literally a sugar high. Sugar is just as addictive as meth, that’s how some doctors describe it and it’s true.
Im not surprised! When you cut out something from your body for a long time. You need to introduce it slowely - regardless of how healthy / unhealthy it is. Iv gone through the same thing with sugar aswell!! I felt horrible. =(
Wait why would your dad go on a keto diet if he has diabetes
If his blood sugar crashes, he's gonna need carbs to bring it up.
Sorry I'm just very confused. My boyfriend has diabetes and a keto diet would land him in the hospital.
I'm late to this party, but as a farmer, I SO appreciate your informed and science-based understanding of organic and GMO issues. I have worked in both organic and conventional, livestock and plant, large and small agriculture, and there's soooo much to the conversation outside of "good" and "bad". THANK YOU!
Her use of the word “poison” to describe everything drove me crazy!!!!!! Clearly she has no evidence based studies to back up her claims so that’s the only thing she can say to get people’s attention. Thank you so much for shedding light on these problematic claims Abbey!!
Glad it was helpful!
YESS PLEASE!! A series about Organic food!
Yes as well please, to a video series on organic foods! 😊
On the list!
I used to follow Sorelle, but bailed after this video. I'm glad to see you covering this.
Quiet you
Same girl, same.
me too. I loved her videos about photography but this video triggered me so bad and i'm 7 years in recovery.. can't imagine the damage it's doing to people currently struggling with ED
Hope it was helpful!
I quit after her ridiculous “morning routine” video. Like, get a real job and then tell me your morning routine.
your reaction to "cooking with olive oil is poison" had me cracking up. Just looking up and shaking her your like "lord, give me strength to deal with this nonsense"
Same! I rewound that part multiple times!
😫
Ikr I live in the Mediterranean and use olive oil on everything "Its not ok to cook with olive oil" lol ok I guess all these years of greeks using it they were unhealthy
i was thinking Abbey seems like such a nice person then she mentioned she was from Canada.... that definitely explains it
😂😂
Sorelle: olive oil is POISONOUS
me: *looks in the corner at abbey*
Abbey: 😒🙄
When i heard that all i thought was of spain n italy that make amazing foods with shit tones of olive oil
😂
@@b3lurxxxm3duza lol I thought of the Butternut squash and red onions I was baking at the time. I had covered the squash in...gasp Olive Oil.
@@jocec820 that sounds yummy
@@b3lurxxxm3duza it is. The recipe is on Country Livings site I believe. Under Roasted Butternut Squash with Cider Vinaigrette.
Don’t even get Abbey started on olive oil😩 that part made me CRINGE when she said it was “poisonous”
😫😫
I love how much research Abbey does on every subject she touches. It’s so rare to find such accurate health information on TH-cam
Thank you!
I know I've commented this before, but I just want to say that the sacrifices you make to post videos IS worth it. Your videos have helped me learn things I would have taken years to figure out, and I am sure there are many other people who feel this way. So thank you for continuing despite the pressure, and take any negative comments with a grain of salt!
I am somewhat astonished. I didn't think something like a reasonable and mature youtuber actually existed. (Yes, even among the adult youtubers.) This sounds all very reasonable and balanced and adult. No weird agenda pushing, no overselling, no black and white thinking, no awkward behavior, just studies and facts and a healthy discussion around it. I like it.
She's talking about poison yet her hair is blue...
😂😂😂 nah! Her diet is do magical it changes hair color
Lady B. She will be a unicorn 🦄 soon 😂😂
😂
@@b3lurxxxm3duza
Maybe she used the hair equivalent of that insane “change your eye colour by shining a bright light into your eyes” hack.
Abbey, I know life online is tough at times and very pressured. Could you please NOT quit soon? Please stay strong - some of us depend on your sanity in here 😍
Thank you ❤️
Wholesome ❤️
Oh my gosh, I been waiting for this. I was subscribed to Sorelle, and when I was watching I instantly thought of you reviewing it.
Hope it was helpful!
Finally!! Was waiting for this one... but 40 min??? You got me scared there!
I really liked Sorelle’s videos and photography stuff but when I saw this one... it touched a nerve.
Your “woah” face right in the beginning: priceless ahaah
I'm sorry if it was triggering for you
Abby I’m so glad I found your channel a year ago, you have kept me from falling into so many “healthy” TH-camrs channels and thinking they know what they are talking about and either wasting my time until I realize they just don’t know things or have eating problems themselves or falling into their ways of thinking and eating myself.
I'm currently taking human nutrition as part of my nursing pre requisites and watching these videos seriously helps me understand my textbook even more ❤
I'm so glad!
don't know where this notion that our ancestors were healthier comes from. Even ignoring the difference in life expectancy, look at archaeological discoveries around the globe in difference eras - they've found signs of heart disease everywhere. I'm curious on the fasting research, but even if something comes of it, my postcholecystectomy digestion makes it a non-starter.
Thanks for sharing your perspective
They really only had to survive long enough to spread their genes on to the next generation.
Mind Over Munch has been making big attempts to take out harmful language like "clean" from their videos! Would love to see you dive into her content eventually!
I'll have a look!
Abbey!! Can you pleaaase make a video on how to buy meat?? I am SO confused about Organic, Grass Fed, Vegetarian Fed, Vegetarian Diet, etccc!! When I go to whole foods is fine because they usually carry organic AND grass fed at the same time! But in most other stores, is one or the other... and when it’s just vegetarian fed, I just have no clue if that’s the same as grass fed or if it’s just a marketing strategic word 😓
Thanks for the suggestion!
Vegeterian fed means that it is fed mostly grains and that it is from conventional factory farm (if organic is not stated directly) 😵 If you want grass-fed and organic, both must be declared on package. If there is only organic it does not have to be grass-fed only, but it can mean that it is fed organic grains and sometimes the animals can be outside and have grass (however, definitely better than factory farmed!!) . I.e.organic does not equal grass-fed (it can, but you should ask the farm...but if it is not stated it is not probable)
Just a small bit of advice for anyone who doesnt have a lot of space for gardening, but does want to grow (some of) their own food:
strawberries, herbs, garlic, and onions can all be grown in window boxes! Just be careful to keep them away from cats. They're also no more labor intensive than a regualr potted plant!
Thats actuslly such a good idea. I want to grow strawberries inside now. I Tried outside and squirrels ate all the berries |:
Abbey, I have to say - I am loving your energy in this video. I am having a really bad day and your exasperated, not-taking-shit attitude is really resonating with me.
Why a bad day

Whoa, I'm sorry, I can't. I was glad you put a disclaimer. Thought I could do it. But this is too triggering. Ugh, gave me a flashback of my old food rules. Shakes my head. I hope Sorelle (I think that's her name) soon comes to term with this strict regimen and loosens her reins. Maybe when she fully commits to quitting her social media account.
I'm sorry it was triggering for you
@@AbbeysKitchen it's okay I'm just glad you endorse adding dense nourishing and satisfying snacks and meals.
God I remember watching her video ages ago. As someone struggling with an ED, videos like hers definitely contributed to the misinformation I was happily obsessed with. Now I’m just trying to repair myself, your videos help a lot :)
I find it crazy that she's talking about water purity and having a filter while in Iceland, which literally has some of the cleanest drinking water in the world 😭
The crossover I never knew I needed!!! I started following her 4 years ago when I lived in Iceland but Jesus Christ she’s gotten very.... outspoken... as her platform has grown
I know
So nice to hear someone speak about GMOs rationally on social media!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Abbey! Thanks for making this video. I noted that you talked about ‘our First Nations ancestors’ as a Canadian, and I am hoping that you can think more about how you approach discussing Indigenous food systems in the future. As an Indigenous person and a Canadian, it is important for me to point out that most Canadians do not have First Nations ancestors, and while I don’t believe you are intending to appropriate Indigenous ways of being, it’s important to acknowledge that these food systems belong to unique and diverse Nations and peoples. More importantly, Canadian colonization has disrupted traditional Indigenous food systems. Many Indigenous people do not have access to the same healthy land-based food (and water!) that their ancestors did, and are facing higher rates of adverse health as a result. While I was happy to hear you bring up Indigenous food systems as a healthy way of eating, I would encourage you to learn more about Indigenous food sovereignty and the challenges that many Indigenous peoples face in accessing healthy, affordable foods and safe drinking water. I love your videos and I hope this comment sparks some interesting learning for you!
Thank you for helping enlighten me- I’m sorry to make you do that work! I do have a lot to learn on this and hope I did not offend !
Thanks for your reply! No offence taken, just saw an opportunity for learning and growth.
I just watched the Netflix movie Gather and really got me interested in food sovereignty and that whole aspect of colonization. Very good movie for anyone who has absolutely no knowledge of this subject.
I know this is a little outside of your normal WIEAD reviews but I’d love to see you review the WIEADs of some homesteading type channels. Simple Living Alaska did a good challenge last year where they lived off only what they had grown, raised, or foraged, or caught for an entire month that I’d love your opinion on. (It was the middle of winter so think ice fishing, hunting, home canned food, and lots of root veggies.)
I'll have a look!
I cant thank you enough for these videos. You really are doing the internet such a service by teaching us practical applications of academic dietary knowledge. I have lost over 20 pounds since I started watching you. Thanks abbey!!
I'm so glad they are helpful!
As someone who struggled with restrictions for “purity and health”, this video is VERY informative and helpful. I have come far in my food journey, but I just wanted to say that informational videos like this actually help break arbitrary food rules I’ve created for myself. Thank you!
Sorelle: NO SUGAR
Me: *sips baja blast*
Sorelle: NO CARBS
Me: *eats chicken quesadilla*
we love to see it
DaddyGirl bold for an account with no pfp. Uncalled for.
DaddyGirl hahahahaha baby you cannot hurt me more than my ex did I promise, keep it moving
Baja blast is my freaking jam I always forget about it!
😂😂
Abbey, your videos are always so informative! It would be SO cool if you did a video on organic/GMO/pesticides because your little snippet in this video was already so interesting!
Thank you! That's on the list
I appreciate that you distinguish Canada’s roots as belonging to people of the First Nation when explaining the power of fruits in northern regions
👍
I really want you to know that I just found your channel and it has been HUGE for me! I'm the girl that watches all the "influencer what I eat in a day video" and believed everything they said. Finding your videos has been so great for me. Thank you thank you thank you. I hope that this helps make the pressure a little more worth it.
Thank you! I'm so glad it is helpful
26:00 My mom was diagnosed with celiac disease about 8 years ago ish and she is very grateful and impressed with the selection as well as the quality of gluten free foods that have been coming about recently- compared to when she was first diagnosed. It’s awesome seeing the food advancements we’ve made as a collective society towards supporting individuals with food related allergies and/or conditions needs.
It’s so satisfying when you call out these BS beliefs! Thanks for doing these vids!
This woman is the definition of privileged person expecting everyone to be able to live her lifestyle. If only everyone was as fortunate to make these strict choices.
I actually unfollowed her after she posted her videos about her diet. I thought the rules contradicted each other and she was talking about subjects she's clearly not qualified to preach about.
For sure
I'll never forget when I was a kid, and I overheard my aunt telling her daughters ‘no sugar, that sugar is poison” my cousin is now a teen and I'm hoping I can guide her through a healthy food relationship
I’m 21 I would probably believe all of this stuff at age 16-18 cause I definitely had strict “diets” I was even vegan for 3 years & recently started eating seafood then slowly meat & I allow myself to eat “junk food” , I’ve been losing weight and building muscle regardless of what I eat , I was so weak when I was going though all of those diets .
I'm glad you're feeling better now, eating disorders are awful and people like Sorrell are toxic!! Veganism is NOT a diet though I really wish we could get past this misconception.
Thank you for sharing your experience
@@peachoxo4099
Veganism is a diet, or can be defined as such. And it can be a life style choice, based on personal ethics.
@@haggisa plant based diet is the diet, veganism is the stance against the injustice done to nonhuman animals. There's a huge misconception.
@@sarahemilyjohnson5503
Not according to the dictionary or Wikipedia definitions.
Could you please do a video on how to have a balanced diet when EVERYTHING makes you sick? I have IBS and I've had to cut out so much I feel like I'm lacking. I haven't cut these foods out for any other reason than they genuinely make me sick. My trigger foods are meat, eggs, dairy, gluten, avocados, and soy. I also have to limit my sugar intake because I'm hypoglycemic and very sensitive to high sugar foods. How do we (people with digestive issues) find balance when we're so limited?
Monique Shorten I definitely feel this! I have fructose malabsorption. It definitely makes the eat your “fruits and veggies” stuff hard. The whole experience has left me annoyed with people who cut amazing food, like apple pie, for no real reason.
Your intake on glutenfree products - as a person with celiac disease- THANK YOU
I used to love Sorelle (because of her Advanced Selfies), but was finding myself drifting away from her content more and more towards the end of last year. Then when I started hearing her talking about food, that was finally it for me, and I completely unfollowed/unsubscribed. Her eating is so restrictive, and it bothered me how she (like other people have already mentioned here) stated all her beliefs as if they were factual.
I feel you. At first I couldn't put my finger on why I stopped watching Sorelle, but it's because i didn't realise at first how much her content and "beliefs" have been changing.
For sure
may i ask what advanced selfies are?😂
@@cupofhannah9335 Haha they're just self-portraits! Sorelle started calling them Advanced Selfies since they're more planned/thought out photos rather than the usual cellphone selfie.
As someone who studied nutrition at university myself I can say this lady is such a professional. I adore her ❤️ I love the sensible approach she takes and how she debunks some common misconceptions. So many tropes and stereotypes about nutrition, you need context to understand and these vids are very informative in that way. Great research 👍
Abbey, thank you so much for making these videos! TH-cam needs more people like you!!! About this whole "organic" debate here's a little fun fact: You'd be surprised how many, no matter where in the world, actually grow their food organically but it isn't labeled as such. The reason is that getting this certification is so expensive and it is such a complicated procedure that farmers just don't bother. Some reference context: I am a social scientist and I mainly work on sustainability transitions in agriculture. So I have interviewed a LOT of farmers in Europe and also in Sub-Saharan Africa.
