I wasn’t feeling super well today, so I binge watched your old videos and they immediately made me feel happier. I’ve recently found your channel, but I just want to tell you how motivating and calming your videos are! And your whole personality is so nice. My favourites are always the university vlogs, but I also love videos about food, because I am vegetarian (mostly vegan), so they’re always useful!

[@oliverhalewood3364]

Virág Horváth I hope you feel better :)

[@viraghorvath1267]

[@sabahatnaheed1435]

I’ve been watching quite a few videos of yours and I have come to the conclusion that your parents have done so well in raising you. You are beautiful, well mannered, strong minded and intelligent. You are a great credit to your parents x

[@besicoolkalita232]

You should watch her sister vlogs too then...

[@isobellaf1226]

Not to demean anybody’s personal opinions but Ruby’s food choices appear generally very nutritionally dense (hummus full of good fat from sesame and olive oil, avocado, olives etc) and she looks quite short in height. In other words you could eat a whopping meal lacking in nutrition and still feel hungry later. Quality is just as important as quantity

[@megforshaw9150]

You actually looked really good with a high ponytail! xx

[@BBC600]

Exactly there was no need to excuse it! :-) Sadly my hair isn't long enough to attempt anything of the sort...

[@esmeld8472]

BBC600 Same ... I’m waiting for it to grow so I can do a beautiful long ponytail!

[@craftycrumpet34]

quite a few people commenting about eating disorders and calling this video triggering because she said she wasn't that hungry on these days. I would suggest if you do have or have had an eating disorder, that you probably shouldn't watch a video titled What I eat in a day if yo then find somebody eating less than you expected triggering.

[@jwho4273]

People are commenting because they are long time fans who are concerned with her well-being. Her portion size and rationalizations have become noticable the more she does these type of vids. She also has some ED books in her Goodreads.

[@ramywiles]

@@jwho4273 You can read books about eating disorders without having an eating disorder, and she has said herself in another comment here that she highlights smaller-than-usual portion sizes precisely because she doesn't want to invite comparison. If you are concerned, the best way to express that concern is to reach out privately rather than turning her health into a public spectacle.

[@jwho4273]

@@ramywiles that's true you can read books on ED w/o having one but it does show an interest in ED. Which doesn't necessarily mean anything. She's a public figure and she does influence a lot of people's choices, health and otherwise. This will get criticized regardless and that is just a nature of the trade. I think those in the comments are responding respectfully with enough people in agreement so it is noticed. I think public comments are the right avenue w/o bombarding her DMs, it also gives her a way of publicly addressing a common comment.

[@ramywiles]

@@jwho4273 I mean, by that metric, anyone who reads a book about serial killers shows an interest in serial murder, and people would be justified in "respectfully" asking whether that person has killed anyone lately. Like, people can word things as politely as they want, but they're ultimately connecting their own dots and trying to corner Ruby into defending herself against allegations they've made up. That's deeply unfair to her -- and it's not something she has coming by virtue of making the content she makes.

[@jwho4273]

@@ramywiles I mean....they do show an interest in crime so yes you're not wrong but it doesn't mean they'll commit crime. It's about discipline. You're allowed to have your own opinions on that matter and I admire you for respecting her privacy. If you see someone you deem a close friend (or a well-known KZbinr) show signs of a problem, do you ask if they're ok or do you waive it off? To be fair it could be nothing and she may have a smaller appetite now...but what if was something and it will help her.

[@nataliethoursie7515]

You’ve really improved my life with your videos and I just wanted to say thank you :)

[@livmott4902]

Her portions look completely fine, and if they don't to you, that's okay too! some people naturally eat less and some eat more. It's all okay as long as you are listening to your body. Please do not compare portion sizes to anyone. Ever. Ruby's meals are also very nutritionally dense, she's getting everything she needs in a day! So don't worry, she's said she's fine many times as well :)

[@Mehlsuppe]

Thank you ❤

[@kathleenpark2211]

I understand where people are coming from about how they are worried about Ruby’s small portion sizes, but im curious to know how much food people eat on a daily basis. My portion sizes are pretty similar to her portion sizes and Im full, content. However when I see these kinds of comment about how “youre not eating enough”, i just get worried and tend to start to eat more than i normally can take in to the point where i am super full so that i can meet the expectations of people! I’ve never felt this way about food before and i just want to point out that although i understand you guys are worried and caring, but these comments about “not eating enough” “I eat way more than you” etc can/and may also cause harm to some people :)

[@verdeirisado]

I have the feeling that she eats a lot! 😂

[@ramywiles]

I'm really sorry you get so many comments insisting you have an eating disorder... I just hope it doesn't get to you. For what it's worth, I always admire how conscious you are of eating a variety of nutritious foods. Variation is something I've struggled with throughout my life, and I'm only really beginning to navigate it now that I have a husband-to-be who loves to cook.

[@zaliyadrew5031]

I got a Neil Gaiman's Masterclass ad before this. 😮 Like wOw! One of Ruby's favorite authors!

[@azurabun0]

Some of ya'll are actually calling her eating disordered. Her eating is fine. It's OKAY to not be hungry sometimes and to eat less because of that. You don't have to force yourself to eat what you'd normally eat if you're not as hungry. She ate plenty on both days; if you actually write out what she ate you can see that it's a good amount of food and fine for a sedentary woman.

[@unknown1667]

THANK YOU I have a friend who doesn’t eat much and is also vegan and a lot of people think she has an eating disorder but ever since I’ve known her she just stops eating when she’s hungry, and that’s completely okay. Some people need to realise how sometimes people just aren’t hungry

[@tabithawilson8819]

You seem to always make an excuse for why your portion sizes are smaller, not just in this video but in your previous eating videos as well :// I'm a bit worried about you, I don't mean this in a mean way at all but it is a bit concerning :/

[@RubyGranger8]

Tabitha Wilson nothing to worry about but thank you for your concern! I just wanted to point out if I was eating less than usual because it’s important for people not to compare portion sizes :) x

[@christinak5452]

[@marystephens1994]

Quite triggering as well :/ trying to not be too sensitive but maybe would have been more sensible to show a more ‘normal’ day with a healthier amount of food

[@Mehlsuppe]

I would explain myself too if so many people would assume that I have an ED. Especially if I haven't.

[@nesrinisli6921]

Tali an eating disorder can also develop from not being that hungry and thus eating less. That was the case with me last year , I was stressed , didn’t have time to eat and didn’t feel hungry. After a while I was “proud “ of making it on less food. I have had an eating disorder since I was like 11 but I think it can also develop like this even if you haven’t had a history of it.

Eveyone in the comments suddenly acting like they are health experts?! This is ONE day of eating not everyone eats the same amount of food in a day not eveyone can stomach a lot of food?! There are so many reasons why you would eat less/more! Personally this would also be the size of the food I would eat in a day, she didn’t jeep justifying it she only said it like once?! If she did have an issue we just have to wait for her to say if she feels comfortable but what we are not gonna do is diagnose her in the comments just because she ‘ isn’t eating enough’ to what you think is enough food?!

[@Mehlsuppe]

Thank you ❤

[@ramywiles]

Truthfully, I haven't been paying enough attention to know exactly how long these comments have been around, but I've noticed them on every recent food video of Ruby's and it's starting to get under my skin. That kind of public speculation only ever does harm.

Vegan student life 🥰 are many other people you know at uni vegan? I’m curious as when I was at exeter there were already a surprising number, and I guess it will only increase now! I appreciate you acknowledging why portions may be smaller etc... but I will admit that I do worry it’s happened quite a lot in your recent videos. Please don’t take this as a criticism, but I’ve noticed others acknowledge it too in the comments. Maybe you could try filming/a day where this doesn’t happen? It will mean you don’t have to pop in the disclaimer and maybe give a more “representative” day? I hope you’re enjoying term 2! I preferred criticisms a lot more this term as it felt more applied!

Ngl this video is so triggering to people with eating disorders...constantly saying and trying to justify why it is abnormally small/not hungry/didn’t eat because I didn’t like it/ate pizza last night...it’s worrying. Ruby, I really hope you’re okay and I wish you all the help in the world if you’re not but please think about others who will be effected by this, your last video was the same. Sending love x

[@Mehlsuppe]

Isn't every video with titles like that triggering and enough warning?

[@lancebaldi9548]

I don’t think she was trying to “justify” anything. She was just narrating a perfectly normal reaction to having more to eat the previous day. You probably assumed she had an eating disorder from the beginning and forced yourself to see it through that lens.

[@azurabun0]

Jesus christ it’s okay to not be hungry and eat less sometimes, it doesn’t mean she has a full blown eating disorder. It’s not like she was justifying skipping meals, she was just eating less because she wasn’t as hungry due to eating more than usual. That’s normal.

[@ramywiles]

It's not on Ruby to deal with your or other people's triggers. If you go into this knowing that the content is going to be upsetting to you, it's not on Ruby to adjust her content. It's on you to disengage until you're in a place where you can manage how it affects you.
