[@jmarshal]

I left my phone at home because I was taken to hospital via ambo and omfg it was such an issue. Had to get a phone for my room, then get my numbers from my medical file for next of kin, then had to have people call me back through reception. Then when I was discharged I couldn’t order an Uber so I had to take a taxi which cost me $30 more than an Uber would have. Then I couldn’t pay because I didn’t have my wallet or phone so had to run in and get my wallet to pay the taxi. Didn’t have any of my lists for when I go to hospital like my meds and such, because they were on my phone!! Just a real PITA.

[@purple66666]

I completely agree! The problem is not the phone itself but that too many people misuse the phone and spend too much time on it. I completely agree with you. And it irritates me so much when I hear: "phones are what is wrong with today's society", to which I always answer "next time you are in an emergency don't call 911 on your smartphone, go to the police station yourself. Also, in case you need evidence for court use an actual camera. And if you need to scan some documents afterwards go to a xerox". The smartphone carries so much utility with it that I automatically assume everyone who says otherwise is a complete idiot who's been living under a rock and didn't manage to evolve from neanderthal.

It really is illogical and mostly an argument brought up by people who have no real world experience. I’ve worked with organizations that help the unhoused and one of the most important things you can give someone with no money and nowhere to live is a phone. I’ve seen people literally pull themselves out of poverty because they had a phone number to give future employers and a way to check things like the weather forecast, programs to get help, and a way staying of touch with people. Phones are essential now regardless of how poor you are. Not like you can just go to pay phone.

People in southern India use banana leaves for serving food on special occasions …but only because it is considered good to do so..not for showing off. Edit :- Y’all are correct . Even in northern parts of India dried leaves are used to make plates by sewing them together. Serving on leaves is also a tradition in many countries because it generates a lot less waste compared to plastic plates and cups when you’re serving a large number of people. (They decompose or can be used to make compost). Plus it is really healthy to eat from a banana leaf. But again , we do it because it’s a tradition and is done only on special occasions, not because we don’t have plates and definitely not because we’re ’too lazy to do the dishes’ . The woman in the first video was probably just looking for views because a whole meal is served on a banana leaf, not snacks that can be handheld.

[@Francesca-Goldmiller]

Hey an Indian here! Firstly, banana leaves are natural, biodegradable, and abundantly available, making them an eco-friendly choice. Secondly, the leaves are large enough to accommodate multiple dishes, allowing for a complete meal to be served without using multiple plates Additionally, banana leaves contain strange anti-bacterial characteristics that help digestion and can destroy bacteria in food. Banana leaves have a wax covering that gives them a glossy appearance and imparts a mild flavour to the steaming food served Banana leaves play two roles here: During baking, they're a vehicle for creating the moist crumb and fruity aroma, and they also serve as a loaf-pan liner that ensures easy removal after baking Banana leaves are widely used for cooking and serving food in Asia, Africa and South America. Before the joys of modern refrigeration were discovered, people in tropical countries used to cook and wrap food in banana leaves to prevent them from spoiling. But have you wondered why people eat on a banana leaf? As per Indian culture, the banana leaf has religious importance and when we eat on a banana leaf, the food is considered 'prasad' (Offering To God During Pooja,Devotional Offering,Purity) In addition, serving hot food on banana leaves gives food a specific smell enhancing the taste and making it healthier and nutritious.

8:52 as someone who can’t drink my fridge or sink water because it’s contaminated where I live right now IT HURTS ME TO SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE WASTING WATER JUST FOR A STUPID TREND like…um? No! me and my family now have to waste more money than we used to JUST to get PURIFIED WATER THAT WE CAN DRINK!

Yeah my grandma is Guatemalan and it’s a tradition in my family to make tamales (not like Mexican tamales) and she wraps them in banana leaves, but these are special occasion.

[@alice_geneveine_arts83755]

I'm Mexican and usually we eat Mexican Tamales with the wrap but also we use bowls and plates 💀 But we as a family take turns of cleaning

[@Kaidrawsstuff]

@smolcake582 lmao you family does that to? But honestly since I have a big family we take turns cleaning and when we have parties depending on who's party it is(birthday or somethinh) they have to clean the house like floor counters and dishes before it starts and after when it ends

[@samuhnella]

@@Kaidrawsstuff what if it lands on a baby are they gonna make the baby clean

Ipsy sends you a bag every month whether you want it or not, those subscription box services are so wasteful.

[@roo-tt6by]

no.... no they are not. they are a usfull way to get food, make up and were the only way i got to HAVE make up as a kid

[@YourLocalSquirrel]

1:26 so these bags aren’t sold on their own! They are from a subscription service for makeup and it comes in a themed bag! I use the ones my mom gets quite often, you just need to LOOK for uses for them!

[@MrDante134]

Just another blow to my faith in humanity further decreasing it. I'm already very critical of all social media with the ever increasing need for attention and validation, but somehow you keep finding things that are just so much worse.

[@AkaneRegal18]

Banana leaves are used in my country, Indonesia, often as plate especially in a more traditional setting like traditional weddings, just not so much on a daily basis. Also, we usually put them ON TOP of a woven rotan plate not just have them on the table. Don't know about other cultures but I'm pretty sure she's just doing it for the look or intentionally rage batting. Also, I hope that isn't the garbage bag and the compost bag instead because she could've easily compost the leaves given she had a large garden to grew banana trees.

[@stefanieerlrose]

Now I gotta say something I am peruvian and I come from a city called Pucallpa And there’s a very traditional food here that is prepared by covering it all up in leaves that kind of resemble those of the palm tree So we actually use palm leaves as plates from time to time due to a traditional recipe In case you’re curious, it is called Juane, look it up

[@Axodragon_]

STOP! Seeing so many people dump solid food and grounds down the sink is not only wasteful on both food and water but its also going to clog the sink. Big water and plumbing bill. 😞

[@kimmaried.7313]

You are correct. Way too many people wasting food just for show. Who is watching this stuff anyway ?

[@kristien2010]

I'm a crafter who used to get Ipsy & I use those bags to hold my little notions like stitch markers. The ones I didn't like the look of I gave to friends who loved them.

[@EpicGummyBears1]

the ipsy bags in the video are free bags that come with the ipsy subscription box, which is probably why she felt so comfy throwing them away :/ which is even worse to not donate them because they were free!! shes not losing anything!

[@Reas_diary]

Oh my gosh, people are so LAZY i literally cant. it is so dumb and useless when you can literally STAND UP. And do some dishes, oh my gosh

The good thing i love about being a fan of your channel, Hayley, is i can actually embrace my borderline misanthropy with all of you guys and make some likeminded friends on here, instead of being completely naive about the world's stupidity, you know? I'd much prefer knowing about it, than choosing not to, you know? Like, the fact that we see through the BS in the way society works, means we can hopefully be the change in the world, and that's an incredible thing. :) Thank you, Hayley, for another great video calling this BS out. You're definitely one of my favourite creators on here.

[@Eeveeleafz]

"Just because it's easier doesn't mean it's better" is almost the exact same thing I just told someone today. "The easy way isn't always what's best"

I'm my country, banana leaves are used as a plates, but mostly for decorating or like take out. It's hard to explain

[@diveinto.sophie]

can we all agree that haylo hayley are one of the only people that actually point out what’s wrong with our society?

[@Vampire_Stawberry]

7:07 the only real scenario I’d imagine you’d do something like this is if you’re hosting a party or gathering of some sort (an even then put it somewhere cold like the fridge)

[@venusc5709]

people throwing away bags just cause a fly went on it?? do they not know how food is made and prepared???

[@allison502]

My ipsy bags become pencil cases and I also use them to keep stuff sorted in my purses and overnight bags. They are versatile and useful for so many things. What a waste to just throw them away.

[@Scarletqueen08]

finally thank you Haylee for covering this like the food wastage is crazy this people need to be banned from tik tok

[@mangosasageyo]

The first second of the video can actually be used as a plate. Here in the Philippines we use banana leaves when we have fiesta(party) and birthdays. We also use it for desserts like sticky rice, although what the mother did was unnecessary. 0:16

[@ngarcia103]

But those are special occasions. That mother was doing it every day.

[@sophia_col]

@@ngarcia103 yea and then she went ahead and put them in the trash! those leaves could've just been tossed outside to decompose instead of going in a garbage bag

[@raeraebadfingers]

[@CatfishOnPaws]

people used to say, “go touch grass” …….. NOW SOME PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE TO STAY AWAY FROM IT BY LAW

[@Floofaloo]

My exes mom only keeps food for 3 days, this counts the day they get it and the day they throw it out as the first and third day. So if you want to eat it you better eat it immediately. The amount of waste in that house makes my stomach sick.

[@Floofaloo]

They also buy paper bowls, plates, and plastic solo cups to keep from doing dishes. They have dishes and never used them for years until I moved in and they figured they can use their dishes now because I would actually wash dishes.

[@Coderandpainter]

There's no need to feel upset about banana leaves as plates! Using banana leaves as plates is a wonderful tradition in South India that has been around for ages. It's quite popular at public events where many people gather. Banana leaves are not only eco-friendly, but they also enhance the flavor of the food, are biodegradable, and serve as a cultural touchstone. Compared to styrofoam or single-use plates, banana leaves are definitely a more sustainable option. Plus, they add a special charm to the dining experience!

[@anttonism]

I think we all agree that all the influencers who boast about their "overconsumption Shopping" are going to end up throwing everything away in the following years when they stop being relevant... The same is going to happen with these influencers, trend goes out and they are going to return to their past habits.

[@CassandraGayle-fs3tc]

guys, im from the philippines and its our culture to eat food on palm leaves with our hands. BUT i agree with her because its useless because they still have a few more dishes to clean when they can clean a few more plates. its not like they have a whole buffet. i love you hayley ❤❤❤ i love your mindset ❤

[@NakedToastersS]

Ok with the first clip it’s somewhat justifiable, in other countries such as the Philippines we use banana tree leaves as plates for occasional meals such as birthdays or a special holiday, but to see somebody use it every day is just wasteful 😭

[@SamiDoesStuff]

Oh my god, as a South Indian, the first vid annoys me so much😭 we eat from banana leaves only during functions OR special poojas, and we have a FULL meal, not like a few snacks. Eating from banana leaves actually do give health benefits, but we don’t eat from them everyday😭😭 last time I ate from one was like 2 months ago, and it’s NOT for less dishes😭

[@nisam237]

In germany, when someone wants to get rid of some of their stuff, they put it in a box, and in the street, with writing "for giving away". I found such cute stuff like that, a mug, a magazine holder, some books. I pass some of those boxes multiple times during a day and see how it slowly empties. Each time I pass, few more things have been taken out of it ^^ sometimes humans are cute

Wasting food makes me really mad ever since I’m living alone. Because around 1/3 of my monthly expenses is just for food. I never knew how expensive the stuff you just need to survive is. And for some time, I tried to cut down on food for money reasons, causing me to become underweight.

[@banksparenteau7779]

The drumstick vid was so real! Here in Canada everything is so expensive that it’s honestly kind of stressful, it seems like every time you go to the grocery store, everything is more expensive than it was last time.

I can get the grass bathroom one to an extent, like I kinda like how it looks but she definitely could’ve and should’ve used fake grass that wouldn’t have hurt the earth and it would’ve lasted much longer so the ✨aesthetic✨ of the bathroom would’ve lasted forever

[@tibicenlinnei4014]

My MIL and I fill our unused ipsy bags with hygiene, self-care, and makeup items that we won't use and we donate them to the local DV shelter and child advocacy center. For the kid's bags we put in little toys, kids art supplies, candy/treats, and kid's makeup in them, along with a giftcard or even a cash bill. We collected several unwanted ipsy bags from other people and I think we're nearing 300 donated bags. Just an idea. I disliked Ipsy and have only stay subbed for the bag and I usually give away the products in them.

5:31 I have a terrible relationship food, I was sent 1 summer to live with my aunt bc my single mom had to keep working and couldn’t watch me, my aunt gave me and my brother big portions that we could not finish; so we tried to throw it away. Except we couldn’t, my aunt would FORCE us to eat the food; last year things were tough for my SILL SINGLE mother and I would only eat a free school lunch a day. I would LITERALLY BEG people for food, seeing videos like “yall know that 1 person who be ALWAYS asking for food? Like yall don’t eat?? 💀” I’m not eating, I’m sorry. So this PERSONALLY pains me, you wasting food that could have gone to someone who needed it. That feeling of doing something good; is better than the feeling of a few thousand likes.

a few years ago, my mom had huge plants outside and she loved them. We were too poor to buy plates so we used their leaves. We washed them an put them in the cabinets. Her plants are still outside her house.
