Dietitian Reacts to Bizarre Food Rules from FlavCity

[@user-io2xq4ow8b]

He doesn’t even follow his own rules. He’s setting concerned parents up to fail, because fear and guilt are how he sells his products. Great video.

[@AndresAyesta]

Appreciate it! Agree with you 100%

[@SkinnyPigDesigns]

I really appreciate you for making this video! I'm trying to lower my A1C and have been having a really hard time because so many videos have been saying that I have to cut out all sugars and carbs completely. I got so stressed about it that I even stopped eating on some days, but your approach to a balanced diet makes so much more sense

[@AndresAyesta]

I’m glad this was helpful. We have worked with a ton of women with high A1C and they lower them WITHOUT cutting out carbs. It’s about learning to Manage them 💪

[@rachellawrence1521]

I started watching portions and I have been losing alot of weight. I use to listen to Bobby approved and all it did was make me more paranoid. Portion control is the way to go.

[@AndresAyesta]

100%!! Unfortunately many people don’t see it that way 🤷🏻

[@ProJatior]

I figured that he figured that everyone figured that was a given. Then again he never got into that and it’s not always obvious how to portion things. I figured that was very individualized. Many scams are weight based. So in all it’s difficult to read between the lines when we’re used to things like weight watchers plans. I’m glad you lost weight and got healthy.

Bobby Parrish has helped me a ton with what junk to look out for when buying pretty much most of my groceries

[@FailedOneTermPresident]

Do you want your body to look like his? Then keep eating like him.

[@Kat-cp4cl]

Shocked at this video. 😳I just started following him two weeks ago when I got a membership to Costco. I’m trying to eat better. I grew up on junk food. My kids have been the same. I found out before Christmas I have really high cholesterol and am pre-diabetic. I’m terrified. I don’t want my kids to have the same issues when they’re my age. Any who. There was so much to see and options at Costco, I felt overwhelmed. I found Bobby and thought he was a God send. Glad I didn’t go too far with him. I told my kids, I’m not going to stop them from eating “junk” at parties, or when we’re out at a restaurant. It’s impossible to be that healthy and clean. I’m not going to stop them from indulging either. They’re kids!They snack a lot, and I was just trying to control what I could here at home…

[@yordanpopov]

Basically you will keep eating junk and expect some miracle to happen. Not a great idea.

[@AndresAyesta]

It’s the extremes that are the problem. The amount of eating disorders being instilled today In kids with all the fear mongering quacks is insane

[@AndresAyesta]

It’s about balance! Not black or white mentality around food. My son will grow up eating balanced meals, enjoying sugar, but also knowing the importance of eating fruits and vegetables. This is exactly how I was raised and I’m not scared of food like many people who come to work with me are. I

Haha yes. He’s an investor in many of them

[@FailedOneTermPresident]

Not only does he invest in them, he is a paid “influencer salesman” for Ecko Digital Media, a digital marketing company that hires influencers like Bobby to promote the brands that pay Ecko for advertising.

[@annawarnalis4072]

It doesn’t take a dietician to realize that most processed food is junk. What Bobby does that’s different is highlighting the “red flags” per se of ingredients and simply giving the public better and more healthier alternatives. Obviously he is here to make money and has done a damn good job at it. I like him, because he has the same philosophy as I do about eating. Clean, balanced, and little or no processed.

[@AndresAyesta]

I respect this but let me ask you something: if I show a food that has 8g of added sugars in it and that’s a “red flag” but then recommend another product that has the same 8g of added sugars but it’s organic that’s ok?. Also recommending raw milk consumption (as he does) is not giving the public better and better alternatives.

Why does everyone spend their time making reaction vids instead of bringing out new and fresh content? I’ve tried most of Bobby’s advice. It helps. I feel better. What else do I need? I didn’t know that artificial flavors were in super low concentrations in products. Where did we get the scientific evidence for that? I respect your content. In my mind, to each their own. We are humans with a choice and we get to choose whether or not to take online advice. We are not imbeciles taking all advice and not questioning it. And no not giving high sugar snacks because kids go wild. They get a sugar rush then a sugar crash.

[@AndresAyesta]

I bring our fresh and new content every week across all platforms. You can’t judge if you haven’t fully explored what I share. I react to content that can be misleading because I believe it sends the wrong to the public. Saying we are not imbeciles is assuming everyone is like you on how information in interpreted and while I wouldn’t never use that word toward anyone (but a select few) you can’t just assume everyone consumes information like you.

[@thencasti]

Thanks for this video. I agree, labeling food as good or bad is very detrimental to our relationship to food and our enjoyment. I also hate when people use the word "toxins" or "chemicals" when they mention foods that are considered not healthy. Honestly, it can create a food disorder or some sort of obsessive hypervigilance of ingredients! This is anxiety inducing!! Moderation is key, indulgence or extremes is a bigger problem for welbeing. Thanks for your take on this. 😊

Bobby is the worst and I’m so sad he has a huge following. He’s the king of commenting about how bad “toxins” are and how they need to be avoided, however I saw a video of his where he was showing his wine collection and he said “we drink a lot of wine in this house.” Isn’t alcohol one of the top toxins to avoid, Bobby???

Maple syrup is better. It’s less glycemic than cane sugar. Not a huge difference but significant enough to change my mind if the option is there and readily available.

Some of us need that pressure to make better choices

[@notclaytonn]

I agree with the criticism that a lot of the content he puts out can seem as fearmongering, but I think your criticism surrounding his child is almost entirely unfounded. You are assuming that he is teaching his child to NEVER have these bad foods, or to be judgmental over others' food choices; however, he has done several fast food reviews where he goes over a large swath of the menu items going over some of the healthier choices. It is a rather large leap to assume that you think he would not let his child have pizza at a party given the history of his content, and despite what you might say this huge leap in logic is very judgmental. Also, the idea that there are no such thing as bad foods is extremely unscientific. I would like you to find me any study that would claim (for example) trans fats are in any way beneficial. This is not to say you should feel guilty or avoid them at all costs, but it is to say that it cannot in anyway be considered a "good" food.

[@AndresAyesta]

You are right I may be making assumptions but I am also entitled to an opinion based on the amount of content I have been from influencers like him and also working with people that are now adults like you who share stories about their parents creating fear around foods and putting them on diets since they are 10 years of age and now dealing with body image issues and borderline eating disorders. So my assumptions are also based on my experience coaching hundreds of clients to date which would imagine you have not? The comment you made about bad foods… innacurate. Trans Fat is not a Food. Trans Fat is specific type of molecule found in foods that are heavily processed and though it is “bad” don’t mischaracterize my content you should “have” bad foods but rather eliminate the labels understanding you need to choose a more wholesome approach but not demonize “bad foods”. Appreciate the comment but heavily disagree here

[@notclaytonn]

@@AndresAyesta Assumptions are not opinions. While it is fair to use your experience as a general rule of thumb, when you are making a video about a particular person it's important to do more research rather than rely on those assumptions. Outside of your experience with clients, you have no basis for any of your assumptions with this content creator and his parenting. If you did your due diligence with research prior to the video it would be apparent that the idea he tells his audience (or daughter) to never eat certain foods is silly. He made an entire fast food series eating even some of the most unhealthy items and showing people that there are healthier options even in that realm. While technically correct, the trans fat point is ultimately semantics; whether or not it is a "food" is almost completely irrelevant to the point at hand. The argument is that trans fat (particularly artificially made) is bad which you agree is true. Furthermore, calling a particular ingredient bad is not demonizing nor is it implying you should never eat it. I have grown up understanding that heavily processed and sugary foods are bad for your health, but it is understood that they can still be enjoyed in moderation. The concepts of, "X food is bad," and, "Try to enjoy X food in moderation," are not mutually exclusive. These labels are important.

[@AndresAyesta]

@@notclaytonn ok the daughter thing. Sure! I’ll Rephrase it here: in my opinion… People like Bobby Parish and their content may be creating more harm than good by sharing information and misinformation that some parents may share with their children ultimately affecting their own relationship with food. If you do the due diligence on him as well and not cherry pick the information that does seem “helpful” you will find a long list of other pieces of content that is straight up BS. Contradicting information and even a lack of disclosures in some of his content that could get him in trouble with the FTC. I won’t get into the details here. Lastly I think we can agree on your second point. 💪

[@notclaytonn]

​@@AndresAyesta The fault for what other parents choose to do with the information that Bobby presents does not belong to Bobby. To criticize him for what others choose to do with the *correct* information that he presents is a silly position to take. Also, I am not cherry picking because I never made the argument that his content is always factual. I would agree that his content does have contradictions as well as claims that aren't necessarily backed up by comprehensive studies. This, however, was not the issue I had with your video. I took issue with your assumptions on Bobby's parenting (as well as for his positions on consuming "bad foods" in general) and your claim that he is demonizing "bad foods" and that such labels can be harmful. Thank you for being respectful in this discussion, though.

[@PetiteCauchemar]

Just looked at my vegetable soup I'm having for lunch and it wouldn't be "Bobby approved" because it's got vegetable oils, and the ingredients aren't organic. But i have a few chronic illnesses which limit my funds and ability to cook. His fear mongering would mean I would just miss out lots of nutrition because I cant access it. Also, life is hard and sometimes we just want to share chips and other snacks while watching movies with friends. His approach doesnt allow that

Thank you so much for sharing! I’m sorry to hear about your condition. It’s important to understand the context of many including yours and not everyone can live by the standards he sets. Further you can still make healthier choices without those rules

Great advice. My kids have a decent relationship with food because we don’t say what is good and bad. They eat something’s, don’t eat others. Some days, my daughter will eat half a bag of mini cucumbers. The other kid finishes off the bowl of peas. Want a donut on Saturday morning? Sure.

[@mentalhealingwithelaine]

My issues with “science” is that the standards are different for each country. I don’t know Bobby but I have a hard time believing that every single food on the market in America is healthy. Why does the US allow ingredients that Europe research said is bad? Please explain why?

[@AndresAyesta]

This is nuanced. Europe has different standards than the U.S. just because something is banned in a specific country doesn’t automatically make it bad. Europe used something hazard based standards while the U.S. used a risk based standard for the regulations. They have different labeling laws and many other things to consider. And most of their standards are not based on strong scientific evidence. It’s more of a “this is banned, just to be safe though we don’t really know if it’s bad for you” type of approach. I’m also not saying that every food in America is healthy but we need to remove the moral standards around food. Food is just food. You will always be better off consuming Whole Foods of course which I do, but context is important and when we have this extremist dichotomy of good and bad, you create a very distorted food relationship that really hurts your ability to be actually healthy

[@johnb4905]

Because corporations have much more influence on politicians in the US than in Europe thanks to the SC ruling that they have the same rights as individuals. Now they’re probably going to rule the FDA doesn’t have the authority to regulate the food we eat. The tobacco industry would be flourishing if we had the corruption of today back in the 60’s. Europeans eat the same sugary and fatty foods as us but they’re not as processed.

I'm sure he has days when he is not eating a very clean diet. Only some people assume he eats like this 365 a year. It's on each and every individual to cross reference and research according to what they feel is the best for them. It's naive to believe someone one hundred percent on any subject.

In all reality - most Americans by the statistics are not eating anything in moderation. I agree that it’s wise to make some levity to this process it is also important to actually consider taking certain foods out of their diets. There is science to the oils. Once you understand how vegetable oil is processed - I’m not sure why you’d want an oil in your body they have to deodorize because the rancid smell is unfavorable. Clean ingredients products - no artificial flavors - colors is absolutely not good. Especially, in gatorades - Powerade etc. red dye 3 is bad! Not a dietician but I’ve read the studies and it’s not good for kids. There is some credence to some of what he is saying. He is definitely a contradictory voice as some things become “subjective” on his app and his opinion choosing the lesser evil. Which is good to do when we have limited choices. But, shaming or giving his opinion to criticize isn’t healthy for sure. His daughter is young. She can’t advocate for herself yet. But I suspect in the future she will eventually, want to try McDonalds! Or have lucky charms in college! 😮 No kids in this world can live 100% clean. Not realistic. Adults in America being over 70% overweight or obese do not have a healthy relationship with food and are ultimately harming themselves. The food industry exists to make people addicted to food. Sad and upsetting. I believe wholly in moderation. Practiced it my whole life. Stopped drinking pop this year because it made me feel sick and bloated after I drank it. Diet Pepsi not good for you. lol! Anyway, with our kids and “you can’t have dessert unless you clean you plate” idea we do not have that. But we do say, be careful how much you take. They make their own plates now. Old enough to control their portion sizes. We want them to eat according to what they feel is appropriate. If they say their full when they have A LOT of food left we say - you can’t have dessert. We say we understand being full. But if you are truly full you logistically can’t eat any more. Thus, no dessert. If there is a small bit left we work with them because we aren’t driving home the issue you have to earn dessert but that you cannot stop eating the nutritional part of your meal so you can have space for the empty calorie part. Free Willy nilly isn’t a good message for kids either. Helping them understand eating the meal is the primary support for helping them have proper nutrition. The dessert while good should not be the primary driver of what they do or do not eat of the meal.

Hi! I agree with a lot of your points. I don’t with others. Reading a study and knowing how to interpret the study are two different things. Not getting into the specifics but for the most part agree with most of what you said

[@Calciu_83]

I've been following Bobby for years and this is the first anti-Bobby video I've watched, thinking it was going to be actual well thought criticism, the vast majoirty of this was just some armchair nutritionist virtue signaling his pointless piece of paper and taking some imaginary food moral high ground instead of debunking Bobby (to which you claim that you can do for an hour long). Then we get to the end of the video where you literally say "have donuts and poison in moderation bro! I swear it's not bad for you!" Way to throw out your credibility. And if credentials are sooooo important to y'all then you'll see how Dr Eric Berg (another awesome nutritionist) is friends/agrees with Bobby.

Haha you are seriously going to use Eric Berg, a chiropractor quack to support your credibility argument? Please! Lol this comment is just funny. Also not sure I ever said to have poison in moderation. You do you bro… keep believing your conspiracy theories

I would not worry about that.

I think there's pros and cons to what he does....he knows a lot about things that people really should not be eating....but he is a bit excessive in some ways I suppose. However avoiding sugar, artificial colors, etc is not bad for any kid or adult....so he may just be making his kids life more complicated and he contradicts a bit on the sugar topic for sure. like you said he's an influencer so with that knowledge people should take the facts and discard the rest. Also seed oils have been linked to many forms of metabolic disease and inflammation. if you disagree with that then you disagree with a whole lot of doctors who also say to avoid them on KZbin. doctors with actual credentials so thats a whole other topic.

[@AndresAyesta]

The whole seed oils debate for sure could be a whole video. People should question me as a credentialed health professionals as much as the KZbin doctors with all the seed oil claims. Plenty of reputable doctors and researchers also who show plenty of evidence to refute the seed oil and inflammation debate. Ultimately you will always find content that support biases. Too many things to unpack here

[@seancameron5275]

So as a dietitian, do you not agree with being concerned with more processed ingredients that are known carcinogens and banned in most (non 3rd world) countries over choosing natural ingredients? I am very new to this but that is the message I take away from these videos. He is not necessarily talking about how to eat healthy and or lose weight… I think it is more about eating clean his videos. Avoiding chemicals and ingredients that are known to cause inflammation and cancer. As a distinction and as society, why are you and why are we not more concerned with this and our FDA and government allowing ingredients like this to be advertised as healthy?

[@AndresAyesta]

@@seancameron5275 hey Sean. As a dietitian I base my advice on evidence and science. On what years of medical and nutritional research shows. If I was to ask you to explain what carcinogens are you specifically talking about and what banned ingredients are you talking about? And then ask you to explain the reasoning behind those claims… or where you even got that information I’m sure I’ll be disappointed to hear the response. No one is here trying to push ultra processed foods vs Whole Foods, I support whole over anything but I don’t support creating fear about a perfectly safe food to consume either. Again I would fact check where you get your information and would encourage you to develop the skill to interpret data and scientific evidence.

I only started watching Bobby a few weeks ago and his videos have helped inspire me to eat a healthier diet. I love his enthusiasm and knowledge. I’ve just noticed how many negative videos there are about him especially from professionals. It almost comes across as jealousy imo. You know, even people with a degree get it wrong sometimes and the science is forever changing. He’s not holding a weapon to anyone’s head, just take what advice you feel suits you. His daughter has a good relationship with food and from a very young age was preparing recipes. Look at all the crap that kids eat out of boxes these days and give credit to a guy who is teaching his child about real food.

[@AndresAyesta]

I understand your point and respect it. Unfortunately the relationship with food of a child is not measured by how they approach food now but by how they approach it in adulthood. You have probably not witnessed that as I would imagine you are not a professional in the field who deals with clients and patients on the daily like I have, but the distorted views on food create a lot of damage that worsens things. There are better ways to teach people how to eat less crap and more Whole Foods but unfortunately that’s not content that sells and gets views 🤣 lastly if his content was consistent and contradictory (like sharing seed oils are bad but in other videos he’s using and recommending grape seed oils) I would see how at least he’s got a strong opinion and I would respect that. It’s not jealously, there are some of us who are genuinely trying to convey the right message (without selling 60$ supplements)

[@amphithere]

Any loon without credentials or a degree can claim they know better than science or professionals. The science isn't changing by influencers like Bobby. Science changes with actual scientists, and their research is implemented and taught to current and aspiring professionals. Do not trust anyone that hasn't actually gone to school for these things. That's asinine that you would believe anything a random person can make up instead of people who actually went to school for these topics.
