[@alonefrootloop4853]

I’m so happy to see Alexis up there doing her thing! Her content has really inspired me to get more into foraging and it’s really changed the way I view my town! Congratulations!

[@AfrknAngel]

Love her on TikTok! Love this tedtalk! Would LOOOOVVVEE to see her in the Food Network and/or National Geographic! Oohh a combo special with her and Tabitha Brown! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@@raidenyvelina8558 I was going to say the same thing! she's fantastic. Such infectious energy

[@Cherryoak]

Alexis is soooo funny, completely fills the room with her personality.

[@wkhgasmr]

I'm already obsessed with her but seeing her in a TED talk just made me so much more proud of her. I love you Alexis Nikole!!!

[@xFoxyMulderx]

Alexis is the Ms. Frizzle if the plant world ❤

“We don’t get to choose the pace at which people change-if they choose to change at all, but… some people will be sweet and appreciate you for meeting them where they are.” 💝😭💖

[@ixchelssong]

Your body language brings back memories. When I was in school studying plant ecology, there was a kind of joke. We would sometimes have a mixture of plant people and bird people on a hike. The plant people would look at the ground and make all kinds of noise, while the bird people would be looking up at the trees and stomp all over the plants! 😅😅

[@kaylala1217]

I loved this talk from start to finish, your humor is so special and is such a beautiful delivery for this sometimes intimidating world of veganism. Thank you and congratulations!!

[@cedricliggins7528]

This woman is incredible. Im a fan for life.

[@Robin.Greenfield]

The plant world is happier and healthier with Alexis as one of their spokespeople!

[@lexicaprise1216]

I’m so glad she stayed true to her personality for this 🥰❤️ I’ve been following her on tiktok for over a year now and she’s the best ❤️

[@xeniebaby]

Her comedic, personal, and positive approach is definitely the way forward in promoting veganism

[@TheConfettiDress]

OMG Congrats to Alexis, this is incredible to see you on a TED talk stage!

[@aos757]

Loved hearing the "happy snacking, don't die"

[@landonkamps7308]

I think this is the most enjoyable presentation I’ve ever seen. I love this person.

[@henrysansone5501]

I love Alexis' talk and content so much! What a brilliant and delightful human. 🥰

[@ixchelssong]

I used to work for the Forest Service as a botany tech. When I was in the field, I would often come across things I wanted to eat. (Eg. blueberries, Oxalis, or redbud.)

[@sarahalexandra3892]

"happy snacking, don't die" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@msNatWilly]

The audience was eating her up from the beginning! (No pun intended) Love her tik toks, personality, and admire her knowledge on foraging and plants! Soooo interesting!

I feel like Alexis Nikole could deliver me the most unimaginably horrible tragic news, and it just wouldn’t sting as much coming from her. What an awesome person!

Love her!❤️❤️❤️❤️ She needs to be on PBS! But I guess Tik Tok has greater reach audience-wise. Her pointers can save many lives during a famine.

Awesome job, Alexis

[@prehistoricorchid3455]

Personally my dream would be to have my own little garden with quail/chickens and maybe like 1 cow or just get cheese/butter else where like a friend. That way I know for sure that I'm treating my animals right and I'm not using harmful products or throwing stuff to waste. Self sustainable and foraging and a step to that because I love love love foraging

[@dianacortes4253]

Sadly, you can't get milk from just one cow

[@thegreattortoiseom]

I would get more than one cow. They are super social and they have best friends.

[@dianacortes4253]

@@thegreattortoiseom what I'm trying to say is that cows need to be constantly pregnant and giving birth in order for them to produce milk. It's not something they do on their own

[@thegreattortoiseom]

@@dianacortes4253 of course, but you don't need to have a bull. Also if it's for personal use, you'll use less milk and the calf can actually feed from the mother.
