Freelee is a bully and is super mean and rude, she bodyshames young people, insults people endlessly and honestly, as a vegan, I hate being associated with her. Trust me we're not all like that. She's probably the most influential vegan out there right now, which sucks because when people think vegan, they think people like her. Her boyfriend or whatever is awful too, and she supports him through making rude sexual comments to underage people and other things. I get that they're trying to get the word out on what they believe in, but she's a bit too harsh.
Nicole on the other hand, I seen her "dear fat people" and "dear vegans" and the one on hitting children and honestly I think she's just looking for drama? I don't really follow anything she does, she's blatantly trying really hard to be confrontational and it's pretty clear and pointless. There's loads of people out there always making videos to evoke a negative reaction like that and start an argument, I ignore most of them.
I don't like Nicole Arbour, and think that she sucks at being a comedian. I'm a little conflicted on how I feel about Freelee. I like that she's all for nutrition, and helping animals (and even I was recently thinking about becoming a vegan) but she, and other vegans talk about a lot about how awful the meat and dairy industry is and how horrible for the environment it is (which I agree with) but ignore the fact that agriculture (where all of their food comes from) is equally as destructive.
Agriculture is extremely harmful to the environment what with the use of synthetic fertilizer (which is damaging to nearby waterways and the species living in them) and pesticides (poison that is capable of killing a lot more than just insects). Modern day agriculture is responsible for deforestation and the soil erosion and increased risk for mudslides after heavy rain associated with it, among other things.
There's also the fact that avoiding saturated fat (those found in meat, butter and full-fat dairy products) is harmful to your body. Your brain is composed of 60% fat (saturated fat being one of the main components of brain cells) and utilizes 20% of the body's metabolic energy. In short, I don't agree with what Freelee is preaching, but I don't hate her because she seems like she has good intentions.
oh yeah, i remember that nicole arbour drama going down, i don't watch her though.
freelee seems like a bully, at the end of the day veganism is a lifestyle choice and try as you may you can't force anyone into it, calling other youtubers fat, disgusting and other various insults is wrong and doesn't paint a very good light on a community that is actually very helpful and insightful. there are other vegan channels that do a much better job of educating and encouraging people into a vegan lifestyle so personally i have no time for freelee and her stupid and gross banana diet.. also don't get me started on her gross boyfriend lol
Freelee's a ditzy idiot who questions whether people should die compared on their diet, and Nicole is a fame whore who decided to be rude for the views. It's nice to see that her second Dear Fat People flopped completely - she's just doing it for views.
Freelee is bulimic. Someone outted her exercise routine from her Google blog. She immediately made it private, but she burns thousands of calories a day. Her videos are her binges, and she adores sticking out her distended belly. She literally spends most of her day doing cardio. She claims to be a recovered anorexic, but it's pretty clear she has bulimia now.
