i know veganism is an entire lifestyle and i should’ve said “plant-based” instead of “vegan” during my talk! that was my bad! for a tldr; i just didn’t like that labeling myself as vegan/plant-based made it possible to “make a mistake” while eating. i wasn’t comfortable having that connection with food, that’s all! if you disagree, then that is a-okay :,) also lol at it being 6 days i lost the footage for the actual “day one” so thats great thats good 😭 hello loves🤍 hope ur all having a fantastic day!! question of the day: what’s a food that always makes you happy when you eat it? there are also other reasons i eat the way i do that go deeper than simply “not wanting to eat animal products”, but as a whole, it’s because i don’t want to, and there are reasons why i don’t want to!

In sense you could just say you’re mainly plant based! A lot of people (me included) feel that veganism is a way of living, it’s a philosophy and it’s something you truly believe in! 💗💗 Saying you’re mainly plant based “allows” you to eat whatever you want, but still let people know what types of foods your diet mainly consist of! Does it makes sense? I’m not trying to tell you what to call yourself or trying to make you label yourself! But I just wanted to help you maybe figure out a way to tell others your preferences without having to be like “so I’m vegan, but like not really”!! Hope this helps! 💗💗

[@aspynfreel6981]

You worded this really well. Thanks.

[@lisadevries1099]

Though I'm a vegan myself, I understand your reasoning for not labeling yourself when you explain it like that. And on a positive note (though you may regret calling yourself vegan in the past) stumbling upon your channel at the start/before my "vegan journey" gave me sooo much inspiration and got me so excited! Just to see how bomb and fricking delicious every single bite can still be when you're living plantbased, and it made me even more passionate about the lifestyle/diet I now follow. So thank you for that 🙏 Good did come out of it ❤️☺️

[@littlelimabean7130]

I totally get what you're saying. I have an ed (which I'm not recovering from but plan to eventually). The way I view it, veganism is not a diet, it's a stance against animal abuse. So when I do eventually get meal plans and stuff, I won't stop being vegan because it isn't my diet, It's my lifestyle. It's sad to see the stereotype associated with it, because most vegans are actually really nice. I understand saying no food is bad, but I don't consider animals as food, I see them as friends :). (Unless of course for people who are dependent on it for survival and it's the only thing available for them). I think with EDs the problem isn't the food, but the disordered perception of it and that's what needs recovering.

[@DianaMalloy]

yes!!! i completely disagree with the treatment of animals hence why i eat the way i do, i just personally didn’t like the idea that it was possible to “make a mistake” in my diet, if that makes sense? i eat the way i do because i want to and also just don’t like the idea of animal products, not because i’m vegan or anything. i know it’s a lifestyle of course, but i just didn’t like the connection it personally gave me with food :,)

[@littlelimabean7130]

@@DianaMalloy I'm glad you talked about this :)

[@luffylavoie8082]

hey diana, i'm really sorry that you felt this way about veganism - no one should ever criticize you for making a mistake, and i know it must have been difficult to put up with any comments attacking you for a mistake especially coming from an eating disorder past. but what you said about veganism kind of sounded like you wanted to dissociate yourself from the moral/animal abuse part of it (when you said that you don't have meat/dairy only because you don't like the taste). also, when you were talking about vegans being passionate and trying to convert others to vegan - it kind of reinforces the stereotype that vegans are preachy and cult-ish. and i've seen a lot of vegans saying the same thing, to steer away from this preachy stereotype. the problem with the statement 'one's diet is one's own choice, and nobody else's business' is that the choice to eat meat directly affects others - it affects animals, and it affects the environment. if, for example, someone were to eat cats, i'm sure we would not think 'well its their choice, everyone is entitled to their lifestyle', and that people who are trying to stop others from eating cats are preachy because they care about animal abuse. and on this note, a lot of vegans are not like this - most vegans do not think meat eaters are bad people nor do they think lowly of meat eaters (almost all vegans were once meat eaters themselves!!). And this is really not to criticize you or anything. i can't imagine how stressful it can be to label yourself, especially online. and for sure there are going to be the outliers - radical vegans who will criticize you for the most ridiculous reasons, but i think there are also a lot of vegans who are really understanding, who only want animal abuse sensitization and an overall decrease in animal product consumption in the world. A lot of vegans make mistakes - it is impossible to be perfect in a world where animal products are so common and normalized. Even so-called perfect vegans make mistakes.. i just hope one day, instead of people feeling obligated to stop identifying as vegan because of the pressure and stigma around it, we can possibly break the stigma and show it's an accepting place, with a message of peace. and even though i'm saying all this, i know i don't have an internet platform where anyone can comment anything, and did not come from an eating disorder past, so i can't know how hard your experience has been. i completely understand and respect your choice to not label yourself, i just wanted to touch on the pressure you felt identifying as a vegan :)

[@DianaMalloy]

thank you for this long comment! and i’m sorry some of the things i said might’ve come off wrong, but i eat the way i wat and live the way i live because i want to, and that also correlates to not liking the idea of animals being food and the treatment they undergo to be food for humans. i just don’t want to label as vegan simply because i disliked and was uncomfortable with apologizing for “mistakes”. i didn’t like how labeling as a vegan made mistakes possible in my diet. i’m not a vegan channel and what i promote here is eating how you want, so it felt weird to preach that while also apologizing for something i ate. i felt this immense guilt and shame whenever i had to apologize on camera for just eating, and i didn’t want that anymore. also, i know a lot of vegans are good and understanding, but i’ve gotten so many hate messages and 99% of them center around “mistakes” i’ve made as a vegan or the fact that i’m not a good enough vegan, which i also wasn’t okay with :( sorry it’s 1am so this might be a mess of a reply, but thank you for taking the time to say all this i really appreciated ur input!

[@sabahalilovic2245]

Regardless of whether you feel like you make mistakes or occasionally eat animal products:veganism is about being aware that animals die for our food and that we need to take actions to protect them and not use them as "instruments" to fulfill our needs. Veganism is an ethical stance against the exploitation and instrumentalisation of animals. It is about seeing animals as sentient beings. If you can't be fully vegan, that's okay. Just be aware that regardless of the internal beliefs we create around food, animals are still loosing their lives and that is something that is happening regardless of whether or not we believe it is okay to eat animal products or not. Veganism has highly become popculturized and radicalized thorough influencers, but that does not change the fact that the core of it is to protect animal lives as far as possible. I just wanted to clarify this. I really appreciate your videos and respect your choices :)

But is veganism only about ourself? I mean I'm vegan for ethical reasons. The way animals are treated is horrible. The fact that they are being killed itself is enough for me to say no to animal products. I don't know but is it helpful for our mental health? I get the point of freedom you want to have but the animals have to die. I don't want to give you or anyone else a guilty conscience I just want to point out the story animal products have to tell. So please don't be triggered ;)

[@Dee-ahn]

@@cambriadevries if it makes you upset then why wouldn’t you want to speak up for the animals by educating people about Veganism and the horrors that happen to animals. I like to encourage Veganism by taking vegan cookies to work with me and letting everyone see how good vegan food can be. People are vegan for the environment and animals, or one or the other, the health benefits are an added bonus. I believe that encouraging people to eat more plants or encouraging people to go vegan is to do with caring about not only the animals, environment but also the humans that need earth to survive. Anyway take care. 💚

[@Alexmary]

I totally understand that! I especially feel that way when I make a mistake like with cereal (You relate with the Banana Cheerios which I also used to love) When you live alone or you tend to be the only person who eats the groceries you get, you can't just throw it away. I know you could give it to a friend but we have different tastes and not everyone wants to have an open package like hello... we are in the middle of a parabola. My friend labels herself as an "imperfect vegan" which I know some people may see that as a cop-out but it makes some sense. If we make a mistake, it sucks because it feels as though we have to be sorry for just being a human.

[@DianaMalloy]

i agree, i just didn’t like the idea of apologizing for simply eating or the idea of “making a mistake” on the way i eat. that’s not what i promote here, so i gotta practice what i preach!

[@Alexmary]

@@DianaMalloy That is very true! Honestly, labels on how we eat are just kind of unnecessary I guess? It's a way for people to maybe know if they are gonna cook for you and on youtube, it's for people who are searching for like-minded individuals. However, I feel like we can do that without having a label as you would an allergy or food you don't enjoy (hey let's go to this restaurant cuz the other all has meat and dairy which I prefer not to eat idk)

I have the best relationship with food that I have in YEARS and I really don't see myself going back but I have definitely accidentally eaten stuff with powdered milk, or eggs in it but I don't waste it, I finish it. No one needs any explanation for why anyone eats the way they eat, it baffles me how some people just seem to be waiting for a chance to jump on someone and judge whatever they're doing.

I am personally vegan for the animal; however, a lot of vegans that I know who accidentally are given meat will finish it because they didn’t want an animal to have suffered for nothing.

You always inspire me to cook and try to recreate your food, because it looks SO GOOD! Thank you for showing the internet how free one can be with their food and that you don't need labels if that's not something you see yourself fitting in.

I can totally understand and respect your view on the label of being vegan, but I do have an other view on it. I'm vegan and don't consider animal products as food, if I would accidently eat an animal product it wouldn't be like eating something I don't like, it's more like eating something that isn't eatable and I would also say that it would be gross for me. As I said, my view doesn't have anything to do with you or any other person, who thinks the label vegan is restricting, i just wanted to share that for other people, like me, it absolutely isn't. My diet and lifestyle can't be restricted because of not eating or using something that I don't consider as food or any other "item" . I really like your videos and your personality, i wish you and everybody who is reading that a very beautiful day, thank you for being here on youtube :)

[@isabellaceleste5756]

Yes I agree. Due to the reasons you mentioned, it's not restrictive for me either. 🌻 Since being vegan I've really come to appreciate animals and simply seeing them makes me happy. 💕 I don't see animals as food or fit for human consumption. I see them as here with us and not for us. To me it seems that if they were, people wouldn't be riddled with disease and the environment wouldn't be in such a bad state. I understand if people don't want to be vegan, but I think it's worth them knowing how their "food" is exploited and produced and how it affects the planet and it's people; even if they're not empathetic. Purely because I don't know how long we're going to have a home healthy enough to live on at this rate. Making any effort to eat more plant-based will make a difference.

At the moment I'm not really passionate about veganism, but I like eating plant-based simply because eating those kinds of foods make me feel good. Anyways, I'm SUPER exited for your cat and you moving!! love you queen, thank you for existing

As long as you’re happy and healthy, no one should care about what you choose to eat and not eat :) I’ll always watch regardless of what you eat, anyways. I don’t watch for the recipes haha I watch for YOU. I like feeling like I’m having a conversation with you ❤️

Yess another video! I completely understand the reason you don't want to label yourself as vegan. Making a "mistake" in your diet does sound very weird and your reasoning makes complete sense. I am so excited for you getting a cat. I love cats! Love you and thank you for being here.

@@DianaMalloy I mean that’s fair but still 😭😅

[@milliegrant55]

sometimes I forget you’re ‘vegan’ because I wouldn’t say I’m vegan for the same reasons but we literally eat the exact same things! I find it can even just within yourself perpetuate a ‘restrictive’ diet when for myself as well, I find that finding recovery in my ed is not being restrictive or scared to eat certain foods. I don’t label myself as vegan or vegetarian when I mostly eat that way because even just around my friends and family I don’t like the idea of ‘messing up’ eating isn’t messing up!!

[@Bbymango333]

Yayyy always excited to see a new video from you popping up

[@Novixus800]

Your body your choice at the end of the day :) we still love you because we know you’re a wonderful person. As an ethical vegan, I make mistakes all the time. And that’s ok. People shouldn’t be so hung up on these things anyways. We should really just acknowledge it and move on. Do better next time. But as someone who is recovering or has already recovered, I can understand why this might not work for everyone. Again, we love you and you don’t have to apologize. Especially if you weren’t doing it for ethical reasons in the first place.

[@thebabyhater]

I'm so glad someone finally said it😌 I agree 100% on your reasoning of not labeling yourself. As a someone who is recovering from an ed, the vegan community can be kind of overwhelming and judgemental. I have learned not to feel guilty about my diet, but I agree with you wholeheartedly. (Also Kingdom is crazy, they are really putting their whole heart and soul into those performances:))

[@pidetods5880]

I’m so excited for cat vlogs lol. Also what you said made sense to me, I don’t feel like I’m vegan tbh because I just don’t think about it a lot. But hey not obsessing over my food is a good sign my recovery mentality is sticking.

[@DianaMalloy]

proud of you!!

[@giuliacoiro0810]

i like your mentality and totally agree with it! i really wish i could just go full vegetarian but having these restrictions are way harder when you have a past with ed and i think this is what people don’t understand, is not that easy for us! so you are completely right for doing this video and speaking out 💜

[@Dee-ahn]

I recovered from anorexia whilst being vegan, “not possible for everyone”. I found that being vegan made me feel proud because I cared about others and the environment.

[@christinali6447]

Even as someone who’s passionate about climate justice and action, I am not vegan, however I am conscious about food as a way to address the issue, which is why I eat largely plant-based/vegetarian meals whenever possible and never waste food. I think a lot of really passionate vegans are either climate or huge animal rights/life advocates, which can be detrimental when trying to project those beliefs onto someone else, making people super judgemental, which is not a good thing. I guess my point is that we should be kind to everyone and don’t judge or scrutinize anyone for small mistakes they make since I’m sure you have made mistakes yourself and would not appreciate it if someone were to judge you for it every time.

[@Dee-ahn]

What’s stopping you from becoming vegan? :)

[@christinali6447]

@@Dee-ahn Currently, it wouldn’t fit my lifestyle as a student who lives with her family. My parents and grandparents do all the cooking, and I don’t want to make them sad if I don’t eat the food they make, especially my grandma’s. However, I do plan on going vegan in the future, at least for a while, when I’m not living with my family :))

[@brunanovo6444]

As a vegan, i totally agree. Most of us are vegans for our own reasons but somehow we always end up explaining ourselfs to others. Everyone has the right to eat the way they feel the happiest and healthiest, we all help the world in different ways. Plus, sometimes you just buy stuff and dont realize it has animal products, but if you dont have an allergy or you can't afford to not eat the food, what can you do? No one is perfect, not even us, vegans.

[@DianaMalloy]

i agree!

[@Dee-ahn]

The animals should have a right, they don’t have any say. They’re forced into being used and slaughtered. Animals should also have rights.

[@brunanovo6444]

@@Dee-ahn yes, I totally agree with you. What we are discussing is the necessity of "perfection" around the vegan community. It's almost impossible to be perfect all the time, sometimes it's possible to misread some labels or other stuff. But for me, I would prefer a world full of imperfect vegans than a world with just a couple of perfect ones. But I will always agree with what you said!

[@haney333]

i mean - sure your titel was a little bit clickbaity - but I personally don't mind. I love what you said! Everything about labeling yourself or others and the part about it being restrictive.

[@MeganWeidle]

Omg I love your label analogy!! Also I'm vegan for animal rights and animal rights only. THEREFOOOORE my neighbor, who has the happiest chickens of all, gives me the extra eggs they lay and I eat them because absolutely no animals are harmed. And if there are traces of milk in something, I'll still eat it if I have it

Chickens are meant to eat their eggs for the nutrients they lose when laying the eggs.

[@Estereliasgrabe]

I am vegan for many years and it happened so much eating something accidentally and thanks okay. I think of being vegan as just a word to describe the fact that I do my best and possible for me, my reality for the animals and the planet. nobody is perfect, it just comes down at doing what we can. even if I did buy something not vegan, wasting it would be much more against those morals. we cannot judge whats best for somebody just because its different from ours, at the end of the day we all are just trying to get through the day, our problems, deal with life. if someone shames us, judges us for whatever, thats on themmm

[@aaryapatel7453]

Hey Diana, I had a question regarding one of your previous video, you had mentioned you went vegan because you strongly felt for animals, but you said in this that it wasn’t the case, so I’m kinda confused😅

[@aaryapatel7453]

@@Tiffxit or it must be a misunderstanding

[@DianaMalloy]

yes, that is why i went vegan! not plant based though. i went plant based in my diet because i again thought veganism and plantbased diet went hand in hand, but i went vegan in the sense that i no longer buy makeup, skincare, hair care, etc from places that test on animals or use animal ingredients! i hope that makes more sense?

also, i lived this way (and will continue to live this way) because i don’t see animals as food and don’t like the idea of eating them, but i just don’t like the connection that being vegan/plantbased has with food in the sense where i have to clarify that i “made a mistake” on my diet
