Can you do me a videos of this guy because I have an eating disorder and he really like enhance it and he kind of started it a little way like he made me feel more guilty
Thanks to Bobby, I’ve learned so much about ingredients and what nutrition labels mean. I don’t follow all of his recommendations or his way of eating, but I find a lot of his videos pretty informative. My health and nutrition journey actually started with his channel. So I’m very grateful to him for that. Thank you for your review, Abby. I love how respectful you always are.
This is very well said. Same here, I’ve learned a lot from him and don’t follow some of his recommendations (well to begin with it’s very expensive 😄). But at the very least, his videos are good starting point to a healthy nutrition diet. Like you’ve said kudos to Abby for being civil in her review 🙂
Same, I feel like I learned a lot from his channel and it definitely inspired me to eat healthier than I did. But I quickly learned that I don’t have his budget (or sponsorships/affiliations) and had to learn to pick and choose what I took from his advice.
@@naturally.eccentric plant based always implies vegan, if a company is labeling a product 'plant based' and including animal products, they are directly misleading their consumers with this logic, a subway sandwich w deli meat could be labeled plant based, just bc it has a ton of veggies included. plant based labeling needs to meet the criteria of actually being plant based- - - - a vegan
@@cyberdaria vegan is a complete lifestyle change. Being that their are meat companies that make plant based food, plant based does not always mean vegan. That’s my point, companies are misleading.
I have fatty liver disease and I downloaded Bobby’s app and followed it and within 6 months my liver panel was back to normal!! He has helped me so much!!
Bully for you.N=1.your personal anecdote is not a replicated double blinded clinical trial.did you control for confounding factors? A chef is not the same as a PhD or a MD or a pharmacist or a dietitian.
Bobby is awesome Our family has learned to eat so much better bc of him and his app. My kids love seeing if their food choices are in fact “Bobby approved”! He makes eating healthier FUN!! Please don’t hate on Bobby. No one’s perfect but if we all shine where we can the world will be a much brighter place ❤
The worst part is you are confirming that Bobby gave you advice to preserve your health. If he doesn’t have a license he can face serious legal repercussions including being criminally charged
As the child of a mom obsessed with being fit & healthy, I can confirm how much the well-intentioned demonizing of “unhealthy” foods messed up my relationship with food, body, & self. I have memories of sneaking candy as a small child because I thought it was bad & shameful. So grateful to be unlearning those beliefs! You have helped me so much to neutralize food, & I feel so much more free now! Thank you! 😊
I feel so sad for the little girl you were :*( a lot of my friends didn't often have access to sweet things when they were little because of shortages in the USSR, but they didn't have to be told that this thing they wanted was somehow a contagion, when they did get chocolate they could savour it and relish it without any kind of guilt, just sheer chocolate bliss
@Marilyn Willett Probably from friends, or bought with allowance or birthday money. Why does that matter? I grew up the same way and it wasn't until my late 20s that I was able to enjoy "bad" food in moderation instead of binging on it because I couldn't get it out of my head.
I don’t think for him the main attention is “fit and healthy” the issue with the government and the FDA is giving us food that is banned in other countries but is in every store here in the US that makes us over weight lazy and gives us Diseases and makes us addictive to what they give us it’s more than food it’s in our toothpaste water even in our laundry detergent that messes with our hormones baby formula…. I could go on
We're living in a world with an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease etc. Being conscious of reading labels and focusing on healthy foods shouldn't be seen as a disorder. But i still do want to mention that Bobby Parish is indeed a quack. The vast majority of his advice isn't based on any science whatsoever.
Agreed! Everyone wants to put a label on things. I hate on how judgmental she is and mean. He is showing us his daily diet and for the people that follow him. They know that he educates his followers to make better decisions and even points to them where the better deals are happening. I suffer from colon issues. Before Bobby I’ve had trouble going to the restroom but after changing and following his recommendations. I’m feeling better and no blockage at all. It’s all In the proof that’s all in saying. I feel better and my colon thanks me for it.
@@Koolkidpablo123 She may come across as judgmental but to be honest Bobby does say some stuff that is just scientifically unproven. I like Bobby’s videos too because he shines light on the trash that is inside industrial food. But sometimes he just preached things that are unproven or wrong (like MSG being dangerous, vitamin C being an immune booster). So saying that he is “educating” is not always true, he often just spreads fringe theories.. Glad that it works for you though
He spouts misinformation. A lot of crap he says isn’t sourced or correct. It’s actually really bad what he’s doing. He doesn’t have the education or knowledge to teach people health advice
Dayyyuuummmmm. I personally like some of the tips Bobby has. But I also have found myself at the supermarket saying, “this would not be Bobby approved, but eff it, it’s what I can afford!”. This was a reminder that balance is key.
Same! I like his tips too, but I use them as a guideline,not hard and strict rules! I don't feel shamed when I can't afford something,or eat something I know doesn't have the best ingredients. It's all about balance for me. I grew up always trying diets,and obsessing over calories and macros. Now I just try to eat healthier foods with good ingredients,but I also have learned over the years that I cannot be super restrictive because I will binge. So ya, I would say I am coming out on the other side of getting a healthier relationship with food,food, Bobby's tips are awesome. I feel like abby totally attacked him. She wants to talk about drinking games...if I took a shot for every time she rolled her eyes at his video, or parent shamed him....id be passed out. Lol I really wish Abby would be more open to diff ways of eating. Even though she said " if keto makes you feel good then good for you",but yet she rolled her eyes at every low carb meal he ate. I am not keto or paleo,but gggeeezzzz I respect people's alternative ways of eating. If keto or paleo isn't ur jam...dont watch. I dunno...I just feel she is so negative about so many people. I have only seen ONE video of someone she likes. I have stayed away from her channel for that reason,her videos are always so negative that it leaves me with a ho hum feeling afterwards. I dunno why I watched this one....I guess I was expecting something different ?
So! This is COMPLETELY unrelated to your video, but I feel like you would love to know :) My husband and I recently adopted an adorable Akita named Keto. Any time you say Keto in any of your videos, he walks up to the TV because he wants you to pet him. Well, he took it a step further today and began looking for you around our house. He REALLY wants you to pet him :) You have officially won his heart❤️
ABSOLUTELY!!! Had digestive issues all my life until I started trying to eat what Bobby approves. He is doing a service to those who can't eat the US food garbage. Yes, its expensive, but good health is worth it.
@@gregoryalthouse9888 Eating healthy food is truly not expensive but cheaper! There are lots of products being marketed nowadays (as you will see with bobby) that you actually don’t need. Figure out what your goal is and do your part to research what foods are good for your goals. But don’t fall for gimmick products when you could easily get that stuff from a well balanced meal.
Abbey, women like you are the reason I decided to switch my career and study dietetics, you're respectful but show them the facts, debunk harmful "Wellness" "facts," and you're just overall strong and knowledgeable. Thank you so much :)
Watched this entire video abby . I’m still a fan of Bobby and appreciate his efforts on trying to help us be more aware of purchases at grocery stores. Personally, I have learned so much from him and I’ve made a lot healthier choices for my body since I began watching his videos months ago (while working out). I’ve made great progress since then and still now.
I absolutely agree Rose! He has helped me so much in my journey toward better health. I love him. I guess tearing him down will get some views lol! Ride those coat tails baby! 😆
Not sure she’s tearing him down I think she’s rightly calling out some of what he does that isn’t right. I like his videos and think he’s helped me look at certain foods differently but I do think there is way too much obsession with supplements, clean and fixation is too much. I think her review is balanced
The dietitian in this video supports the Big pharmaceutical companies of course she's going to lie not every dietitian is like her though there's ones that want to be honest these things that Bobby tells you to avoid actually they cause dementia another future health problems they don't want you to know that though because then that can keep you on a strict medication cycle you'll never be able to get out of they'd rather have us where we have to take pills instead of actually getting better
In fact I know someone who has a Doctor Who's a dietitian but someone at the honest ones and told someone I know whose parents is suffering from dementia to cut out all natural flavors artificial flavors and they've gotten better coincidence I think not this dietitian is deliberately deceiving people in my opinion just so they can't get future clients
@@gnasherunited4432 except there is no truth in what she says I've seen dietitians exactly what Bobby is saying those are the honest ones who don't support the pharmaceutical companies a lot of them don't care and want to get you on a cycle of medication haven't you ever noticed when someone has high blood pressure some dietitians will try to always have them on medication got lucky and had an honest one the truth of the matter is those extra ingredients that she's saying confirming Factor cause dementia I know someone that their parents had dementia and their dietitian honest tell him to cut back all those artificial flavors and lo and behold their dementia got better education only serves to make you smart in your subject what you do with that morally life is a different scenario altogether
As a type 1 diabetic, there's nothing I find more irritating then when people call a food 'diabetic friendly' because it's low carb. There are 2 things wrong with this: 1. type 1 diabetics can eat carbs!!!! We just have to match our insulin dose and insulin timing to the carbs in the food we eat, so we can literally eat anything everyone else can. 2. if a diabetic does choose to go low carb (which is totally their right and should be decided on personal preference, NOT what other people think is best for you), these foods still aren't 'diabetic friendly'. In the absence of carbs, protein and fat affect blood sugar levels, and a type 1 diabetic will instead have to calculate insulin ratios for protein and fat, rather than carbs. Can we stop seeing 'diabetes' as a one size fits all disease?!
Yes! I have diabetes type 2... but I also hate a lot of the “diabetic friendly“ stuff because not every diabetic has the same reaction to the same types of food. And how much carbs you should theoretically be eating can change based on what medication you’re taking or whether you’re actually taking insulin and whether it’s slow release or quick acting
I know you're gonna get backlash from this and probably from Bobby but I agree 100% and it makes me really upset to see a parent talking about food that way in front of their very small child. I hope she grows up to have a healthy relationship with food.
I don't have to be a fan of Bobby to tell you that it's not true I've heard dietitian saying things that contradict this lady fact I know someone whose parents have dementia doctor told them to cut out all those are natural flavors basically what Bobby's eating guess what their dementia went away because it was the foods causing them you want to know why some dietitians aren't honest on medicine they rather make you get dependent on medication
Abbey, thank you for this video. I follow him & even started altering my diet based on statements he made. I was reading every label at the store. It got ridiculous & way too expensive. I decided to just eat a healthy diet, add more veggies & cut back on the sugar & snacks instead of eliminating them. Funny thing is I feel just as good as when I tried earing his way maybe even better.
I'm sure Bobby would agree that the best diet is found in the outside areas of the supermarket rather than the center aisle. His educational tips serve a big purpose and, hopefully, is giving manufacturers a lesson in accountabilility!
No one said you had to follow his diet down to the exact details. This comment section is acting like Bobby has a gun to your head forcing you to buy everything he tells you. It's actually deranged. He's a guy in a supermarket making SUGGESTIONS. Is it a big secret that corporations add a bunch of fillers and other crap to their food? How is it bad to be skeptical and aware of that?
Thanks for the non-stick cookware info! And as far as the "children will listen" thing, it's absolutely true. I worked in a daycare when the kitchen changed the menu and added more fresh veggies, quinoa, barley, and varied up the protein. The teachers balked, so the kids didn't eat. (Not my kids, though! We talked about the food, how pretty it was, and how fun to taste new things.)
He’s nothing but an overpaid salesman! I used to watch him but he’s just way too obsessive! Who packs a whole suitcase full of food to take on vacation to Bulgaria? Orthorexia! He also gives out medical information he has no business giving out!
@@melissaculpepper7663 if your passion is harmful and misinformation, NO, not more power to him. You people need to have standards. Not just "more power" to whatever lying salesman preaches BS.
Abby's videos make me realize I've had orthorexia related beliefs for years without knowing it and it's really nice to question these beliefs and see a different point of view!
@@loriluebke2412 I take it as “this is the best/most expensive version of this you can buy” kind of like a dog show…the winner is the “best in breed” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The fact that he doesn't eat those artificial things and all of those processes chemical says otherwise which means he doesn't eat processed and some dietitians actually suggest what Bobby is doing some dietitians though want to keep people dependent on medication instead of helping the source of the problem I know somebody who has parents who had dementia the doctor suggested cutting those things out just exactly like Bobby is doing and guess what he took the doctor's advice and his parents dementia went away because it was the food
@@higurashianduminekoconnect1702the lack of punctuation and coherence in this run-on sentence of a comment tells me, as an evolutionary red-flag of sorts; to avoid whatever diet _you're_ currently eating.
@@TherronBurns - @bellenesatan is bringing up how you have no punctuation in your comments. I'm sure he/she is joking about your diet but come on, do you talk without coming up for air? I know schools aren't that bad. You do know to separate each sentence with a punctuation mark right? I'm not sure I understood your comments but if someone's dementia really went away because of their diet, that is great!
I just like understanding what is in food when I eat it. I don’t follow his info to a T but I like knowing what is in my food. I just now look for the minimal amount of ingredients in a product.
Agree … he doesn’t tell me what “I HAVE” to eat/not eat. He merely brings to my attention what ingredients to be leery of and how companies use fillers that garner more profit for them … food that likely are not as healthy for us as they claim. For me using his app helps me avoid crappy ingredient foods. As for prices … my health is 100% worth it.
@@samsamthecat492 I used to think that. But his videos in the last few years has made me question his motives. I have noticed contradictory things over the years. I think some stuff he says is accurate and good to follow. Other things he says is incorrect and I dont like how much fear mongering he does when the vast majority of people can never afford the products he pushes. Just my two cents
@@samsamthecat492The only thing he is trying to do is line his wallet with money. He's a salesman and gets paid to promote products. He's in it for the money, period!
Glad to get some “real talk” on Bobby! As someone who is recovering from Orthorexia I had ALL of his behaviors going on. I used to obsessively watch his channel too. I can’t with him anymore as his fear mongering pulls me right back in. Stay far away from Bobby if you have an ED.
Before watching this video I was pulling back from watching him .,, because his diet and food choices is too expensive!! I would go broke!! I stopped in the store, and I said to myself, wow so what can I eat 🤔.... he focus so much on the ingredients .he never look at the saturated fats.. what about that health, so much fat? I just watch my food intake and do the best I can, God give me the wisdom with a Daniel fast..
I grew up with a dad who has a very similar attitude toward food as Bobby, and I even followed Bobby's videos every week for a few years, and while I'm glad I developed a taste for healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, I would have REALLY preferred to have my parent be less obsessive about what we ate. It made me really anxious about my food choices, and like Abbey said, once I did get the chance to eat what I want, I went wild and ate just about anything that I hadn't eaten before. I'm fortunate that I didn't develop an ED, but I did have an unhealthy relationship with food and I'm glad I have a much healthier relationship with it now. To this day though, I still deal with health-related anxiety because my dad kept hammering the importance of how certain foods will prevent cancer and others will cause it every single day. So, I do believe there is definitely something to be said about how obsession with clean eating can have detrimental effects on one's physical and mental health. Also, I wasted a lot of money as a broke college student on simultaneously trying delicious "unhealthy" foods I'd never gotten to eat before and grocery shopping expensive "healthy" supplements and powders and oils to "counterbalance."
I mean, at least you grew up being instilled with healthy clean eating methods and habits. My parents were the opposite and let me eat myself into childhood obesity. Now I am unlearning all healthy habits and trying to reverse my food/eating addiction. Trying to help them but unfortunately they don’t care and now my dad is diabetic with high blood pressure.
I have followed him, as well. I didn't care for that preachy video, and his trying to get us to buy our food at that thrive market. I've always been concerned with his daughter. What happens when she grows up and wants to eat what her friends are eating...especially when she goes to college. I do appreciate his info regarding grocery store items. It's great to be informed to make our own decisions. Thanx for this video!
my mom has been saying natural does not mean anything arsenic is natural for over 20 years, it’s crazy how much misinformation is so widely accepted. Thank you for what you do abbey!!!!!!
Can you read between the lines? Obviously we know there are some natural ingredients that aren't good.. but we also know the chemicals that are also bad and food.. differences learning which ones are good and which ones are not and I can assure you that most chemicals in food are not good..
You're so right about Bobby possibly suffering from Orthorexia. Many episodes ago, his wife Dessi mentioned that it's a shame that they live in the restaurant district in Chicago but can't go to all these restaurants as Bobby deemed them "unhealthy". And it's possible that some restaurant food can be unhealthy but being such a stickler and not enjoying food for its sake, even just occasionally reeks of obsession with "healthy, Keto, etc etc" food.
I enjoy watching him shop for groceries. However, I can’t keep up with all his suggestions, and I don’t have the time or energy to fact check all his info. Thank you for breaking it down for us! Abbey, I really enjoy your channel. 💜
I agree. I like that he is always showing products on sale or new products at the grocery stores that I always visit. But I can’t with how extreme he is.
i'm feeling exhausted after listening to him talking about the food and all the restrictions around it. It must be absolutelly awful to feel the need to live like that. His way of thinking reminds me so much of me during orthorexia times. It's just sad to watch.
@@luckystar6871 False info? Abbey's info is false info. Eat sugar, white bread, horrible cereals for breakfast? Then crap on every single healthy dieter out there because Abbey has an eating disorder herself? Bobby identifies good products and helps identify things to avoid. You can take it or leave it. My personal knowledge of how to read food warning labels started with him. 90% of what's in the grocery store is garbage. All of the good doctors (hence not Abbey) tell you that no matter what the diet plan.
I love Bobby, alot of his recs have really helped with my gut health, I don't think he's pretentious just very passionate about what goes into his body, nothing wrong with that, you gotta take everything and everyone with a grain of salt. You are not meant to do everything that these people do or say . Pick what works for you and move on.
You clearly didn’t watch the end of the video. Bobby uses shame, guilt and fear to get people to become orthorexic like him. If you follow him, it just means you’re an idiot
I'm so tired of all of the collagen supplement nonsense. If ingesting collagen gave you more collagen or helped you synthesize it more effectively, it would be medically regulated & used to treat Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, lol. And I would be the first thing to proselytize the glory of collagen supplements if that were a thing, lol Signed, an EDS patient
@@rumas9041hmm Ive been taking hydrolyzed collagen(zhou brand) daily for years and have seen a huge difference in my skin, hair and nails, us it helps my gut and joints.
I agree 100% on the child eating what he was eating. I love that they are together but give her milk a waffle, or blueberries with her eggs. Great information!
I used to follow him religiously until he started to contradict the things he would say & would tell people in the stores he was filming in that they shouldn’t buy what they’re about to pick up. If you have your opinions on what you should & shouldn’t eat that’s fine but not everyone has the funds to eat the way he eats & shop the way he shops.
I find him incredibly irritating and arrogant - he continued to go out during the early days of quarantine and would touch lots of things in stores and then put them back on the shelf - so irresponsible!
@@MothGirl007 yes I remember in one of his shopping vids he would touch his mouth/nose & then touch the items & then leave them. For someone who always talks about sanitizing and keeping everything clean for the health of his family he didn’t think to do the same for others in the stores.
@@patriciamueller6519 exactly. Eating clean and taking supplements isn’t always cheap. I try to eat as clean as possible but I can’t always afford to eat all organic items and grass fed meat. Especially where I live I can’t always find all organic no vegetable/canola oil products.
I hope his daughter doesn't grow up to have an unhealthy relationship with food. I feel like I would be terrified of food if I was raised around this kind of talk
Yeah. Parents do a number on us that's for sure. My mom didn't raise me this extreme or anything, but she ate the smallest amount of food possible from dawn until 6 p.m. and then had dinner in normal amounts and called it good. Growing up with that example? Even though I'm fat? I still struggle to eat more than once a day because of seeing it my whole life. Plus I was afraid of treat foods a lot because my mom really restricted them -- until I over ate them in my 20s and I'm finally back in a healthy and balanced place about that (at 36). So lol yeah...i feel worried for this kid too.
What you need to remember, everything he hawks, is because he’s making money off it. He constantly wants you to order from here or there, because it’s money for him!
He is making a living. Anyone can do it nothing wrong with it when he does do as he preaches. He eats everything he sells. You do know this channel makes money on selling things too right? She also gets more views for bashing others. It's part if how she makes her money. Eveyone has a hustle.
No, that isn't true. He helps you identity the better products to purchase. There are things like thrive market, but he shows you the actual products in the store like at Costco, Walmart, whole foods, and others. The amount you can learn from him about reading labels is huge.
@@Tbisme19 I 100% agree, but I didn't until last year when I started watching his channel. My folks didn't know growing up, and the vast majority of Americans don't know either. They don't teach this stuff, which is why Bobby's channel is so important. Not that you have to eat like Bobby or any elitist diet.
I enjoy watching Bobby as well as Abbey. Both provide greater focus on what we're eating. Not sure, however, this was a good video. She's criticizing Bobby for moralizing while she's moralizing. This feels like an video to get the attention of his subs, and I expect better from her.
I feel like his intentions are not necessarily bad; but you did a great job of highlighting the power of his choice in language. Great video. He needs to understand his repercussions and pretentiousness
OMG thank you!! I have been watching him for 2 years now but he does annoy me as he is so pretentious. His 2 year old snacks on the pili nuts-8$ a bag and drinks 4$ coconut water🙄🙄🙄🙄
Id love to see an updated video about Bobby, now that it's widely known that he has financial ties to every brand and product he shares in his video, and often posts contradictory "advice" based on his partnerships. All without disclosing the partnerships.
thank you thats why i listen to his advice with a grain of salt,best to know your own body and its needs. he's all over the place and powerful,I mean how hes in all the supermarkets telling us what to buy eat beware of and buy from him??????? PASS!
I particularly love when you review the weirdest, most diet-culture-y videos, because you end up citing SO MANY awesome studies to refute their strange claims! I learn so much! ✨
But she couldn't refute any of his claims. At most, she seemed like she felt it was unnecessary. Most of what he said had a point. He likes to eat super clean and is careful about what he puts in his body, checking every ingredient in the food product. Abbey is more about balance meals than what ingredients are in the food. So it's two different values.
@@melissaculpepper7663 Even if she alone is fine at the moment, putting kids on restrictive diets and then advertising that online just isn't safe or okay? He's putting it out there that this is a good way to feed kids and that deserves criticism.
Have you watched much flavcity content? Because calling the child's diet restricted, implies you haven't. Yes they eat 'clean', lots of good quality meat/fish/veggies etc. But also regularly make tacos, pizza, eat treats like ice cream /brownies /cookie dough, it's just keto versions.
@@Sterling8953 I find this amusing. People accuse vegans of needing supplements when in reality they don't, after 9 years of eating nothing but plants, i'm yet to see any deficiencies, in fact, my iron and other mineral levels are higher than that of an average omnivore. Truly, i could fall off my chair laughing how clueless people often are of human physiology and it's biomechanisms.
Omg him and Thomas Delauer is SO EXTREME with their diets!! I get that t Bobby wants to be "healthy," but he is way too extreme to a point where he wounds like he would die if he had a bit of chick fil a
He has a new series where he goes to fast food and buys a lot of items and eats them while telling people they shouldn’t eat it and what to eat instead.
Thomas DeLaur is not extreme. He is even carb cycling with fiber rich carbs so I don't think he's extreme at all He even goes to fast food chains and takes what would be like keto options. I say he's flexible really

@@AbbeysKitchen and if birds are dying from it like this guy's comment than that supports Bobby I'm not going to eat something that kills Birds what does it do to people
As a fellow dietitian I do disagree with a lot of what she says! He’s looking for the most natural foods for his family and for example he’s using organic Turkey that doesn’t have nitrates added but she shows a picture of a nitrate added one.. and for self care, the ones without preservatives and hormone disrupters are definitely more healthy… and also he evidence does support that organic is healthier.. I don’t know every field has different opinions and I agree more with Bobby’s approach.. the more natural the better ❤
I appreciated finding this. I really enjoy his videos in general but agree with the intensity of his food puritanism. Everything in moderation unless you have an illness, allergy or addiction. I survived a nearly 90% processed food diet fed to me in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s 😂 and live a very healthy, active, outdoorsy lifestyle with no chronic illness. I appreciate both of you. Thank you.
@Lisa V My comment was not meant to judge anyone who has good reasons to be extra careful with their food, but I have had an ED myself so I dislike seeing wellness influencers fear monger without citing sources.
The fact that even his personal care has to be “organic” and “clean” is just, crazy to me. Like, is the reason we are all going to die because we use crest toothpaste and suave body wash???
Right. One of my grandmothers was raised poor in Mississippi. She chain smoked Kool 100 cigarettes while watching her soap operas, cooked with lard, ate huge farm hand breakfasts complete with bacon AND sausage every day, drank soda (she loved her RC cola), fried pretty much everything that could be fried, got us grandkids White Castle or Burger King for lunch when we’d stay with her in the summer... and lived into her 90’s. My other grandmother was ahead of her time in the 50’s. Into yoga, clean eating (she was a weirdo trailblazer with non dairy milks, meat substitutes, and vegetarianism), and meditation. She was also an uptight, mean spirited, anxious person. She died suddenly in her early 60’s. Moral of the story: stop overthinking life and live.
@@rozchambers I understand what you’re saying, but the opposite has happened with my family. The “unhealthy” older people in my life were legit unhealthy because they smoked and shit and died from preventable causes as young as 65. My great grandma in Greece who was abjectly poor her whole life yet ate a true Cretan diet rich in EVOO and vegetables lived to 102 and didn’t need a cane until 96. She was incredibly energetic and strong for her age. So, anecdotes are nice and all, but smoking cigarettes everyday still isn’t good for you. I’m glad your grandma was one of the few people who didn’t get lung cancer or some other horrible health problem, but I’m still going to encourage the folks in my family to quit because the risk isn’t worth it despite one person in the family who didn’t have issues. 🤷♀️
@@Becky0494 Totally agree with what you’re saying. You should eat as heathy as you can and avoid risky health behaviors like smoking, but the overthinking every product you use and taking all these powders and supplements (like this guy) in an obsessive way is not healthy either. My mom (the daughter of the obsessive health nut grandma) raised my siblings and I very balanced, pretty much how Abbys approach is. We’re all very healthy and have a great relationship with food instead of having an obsessive need to hunt down the latest super food or magic tincture. Genetics plays a huge role too.
It's crazy that he follows stuff like the dirty dozen? The same freaking stuff that real nutritionists (aka not Abby) tell you? He specifically says not everything has to be organic. He does stay away from certain GMOs like corn.
@@alexisreeves9266 right?!?! Especially since I have a toddler and some of the foods he feeds Rose.... like I'm giving my son chicken noodle soup not bone broth 🤷♀️
Knowledge is power. Take information and make changes as you can. It’s not about feeling guilty, but if you can make a healthy change in what you eat, why wouldn’t you? Just a thought.
He’s a good, loving Daddy. How about supporting others rather than bashing them or judging them. If Bobby gets excited about all of his Keto stuff, then more power to him. Why does Abbey have to get so angry about Bobby being “obsessive” or hyping new trends. Why is she so cranky? If Abbey is so wonderful and kind, and “golly-gee” supportive and altruistic, then why resort to cursing over his videos? Hmmmm. Bobby seems a heck of a lot happier than Abbey…guess whatever he’s doing is working for Bobby. Abbey talks about all of the tweaks she would do. She’s equally obsessive because she “tweaks” everyone’s diets on her channel. He’s not looking for nutritional advice from you, Abbey. You’re cussing over Bobby’s “moralizing” food. You’re spreading your disapproval and judging him because you don’t agree with him. You’re not anyone’s personal doctor here. Your channel isn’t/shouldn’t be a substitute for people with eating disorders or for anyone trying to eat well. Bobby is actually teaching about reading labels and eating better(as he sees it…just as you likewise do the same). You just seem to be of the opinion that your ways are “higher” than his. Anyone here who is struggling should be seeking real medical support. Your cursing isn’t positive or professional, even. It actually diminishes your credibility. If you’re speaking truth, no need to be profane. You’re so worried about Bobby’s little girl. Why don’t you worry about your little children hearing their Mommy’s potty mouth. Do you think they will feel proud to hear their Mother speaking this way? If so, maybe you should spend more time worrying about that than other people’s channel content.
@@melissaculpepper7663 I do believe he's a good Dad for sure. But that diet culture is very dangerous for growing children. I believe he shouldn't discuss it so much. I am not judging him in any way. He seems like a nice person. Didn't mean to come off that way. I have teens and I have seen eating disorders that come from food shaming a lot.
"His food behavior is very dangerous" No, it is not. What's *dangerous* is "intuitive eating" nonsense and eating for pleasure and having to get your leg amputated or getting cataracts, arthritis, heart disease, etc later on in life. It's a bit expensive with all those supplements, but considering the amount of runaway disease these days (even among younger individuals) it's not unreasonable to be vigilant about a lot of what you're putting in your mouth
Oh it definitely will. Sadly, that kid will probably have orthorexia and health misinformation when she grows up. No matter how "well meaning" the heavily misinformed father is.
I find that Bobby has really helped me and my family eat clean. He’s opened my eyes to how much toxic crap the United States allows in our “food”. All for the sake of cash 💰
Girrrrrl yes. I'm so glad you're reviewing his content. I used to be subscribed to his channel before realizing that I disagree with the majority of his views.
I used to regularly watch him and he definitely made me scared to eat a lot of different foods and caused my grocery bill to be triple what it usually was. It took a lot of time for me to unlearn a lot of what he embedded in my head when it comes to what foods I could eat
Bobby has helped me so much with my diet and nutrition. I’m someone who’s been battling with pre-diabetes and hashimotos, and I can honestly say that you’ll either pay for your health in food or medicine. Thankfully Bobby has an app that makes it even easier to find those DIRTY ingredients in grocery stores that spike blood sugar and have carcinogenic side effects. FYI I am no longer in a pre diabetic state thanks to Bobby’s hard work with shedding some light on the western diet. It takes nothing to be a critic, be careful demonizing other peoples work that’s benefiting so many others.
I think you mean Abbey's channel/followers. No where does Bobby say you have to eat like him. He's always recommending stuff that he doesn't eat, cause it's the best you can get. Abbey on the other hand tells her followers that healthy nutrition is hard, so eat white bread and sugar cereal and don't listen to all of those other 'bad' experts (including practicing doctors). Her follows obey her and believe her indoctrination. So who's in a cult now?
Bobby's healthy eating has saved my life I am diabetic high blood pressure high cholesterol FREE he's shown me how to clean my refrigerator and cupboards of all the bad stuff.
Oh boy, oh boy, 🙄. I've watched his videos and some are fairly interesting, but holy guacamole (of course ONLY from avocados that are organic, non GMO, clean, sold by Thrive Market, and massaged by chanting monks), he's a LOT!! I'm all aboard the less toxic life, but I would be dead broke purchasing all of those things. He gives me food and diet anxiety 😵
I used to take collagen but stopped when I started making homemade bone broth. I add chicken feet which has a ton of collagen. I don't know why but I love drinking bone broth, I think it tastes soooo good. I don't know if it's doing anything for my health but it tastes delicious and it's actually kind of filling
Bobby is exhausting...Their cute little daughter is going to be ocd to keep up with what she can and cannot eat, her supplements etc. People pass their neurosis on to their children, it is a shame.
I was just enjoying a gramcracker sandwich with walnut butter and ethically produced chocolate while finishing work. I thought you know what would go well as a background noise for this snack, an Abbey Sharp video, and here you are.
I buy mine from crazy go nuts. They have some sugar, 1-5 grams per serving depending on flavor, but it's protien I wouldn't get otherwise. My favorite are th chocolate espresso on sliced apples or the oatmeal cookie in oatmeal.
He has also said when you eat complex carbohydrates that it doe no spike insulin. White bread has no nutritional value . compared to whole grain wheat bread, or sprouted wheat bread, He also uses vegetable in his menu's. We have a Bobby Parrish cookbook, and found many great recipes. What I like, is he tells us what ingredients to avoid, carrageenan , natural flavor and many man more. He must be doing something right, he has over 3 million subscribers.
I had to stop watching Bobby's videos. While I was watching them, I was obsessed with ingredients and terrified of everything - even foods that I thought were good for me and my children, but they weren't completely organic or the olive oil I bought didn't come from a specific place, etc... Now I just focus on balance. I'm not sure if it's actually healthier for my body, but I can tell it's better for my mental health and sanity.
Agreed, they made me neurotic and obsessed with food, and now I'm orthorexic and don't know how to stop. I feel so much guilt when I eat something "bad" now. Hopefully I can kick this and find some balance. The grocery bill is sky high too now
He doesn't say to only eat organic. Also, the freaking olive oil we were using in our house turned out to be fake after we tested it, so yeah that is freaking real.
Love Bobby! I have IBS and thanks to him I feel much better. Showing truth and wanting to help people to eat better, knowing exactly what is in our food can’t get any better than that! Health is Life
Hi! I work in the medical field in urgent care, and I sometimes get IBS patients. What do you eat that helps you deal with your IBS? (Just for my own knowledge and so I can help my patients better)
@@j_e_z_ They're a person with the illness. Sometimes people suffering with an affliction have knowledge that professionals don't if they've dealt with it long enough. For example, most doctors would not recommend someone take broccoli for chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, but I found that out through being someone afflicted with that illness myself.
Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this video because as a relatively new mom, trying to feed my 1.5 year old while keeping all this is mind, created so much anxiety around shopping for food, and preparing “healthy” meals for my baby.
I've been following Bobby for a couple of years now and here's my take. He's become a salesman, pure and simple. He uses his speech impaired 2 year old in his videos , teaching her awful habits (drinking from containers meant for everyone, spitting ice cubes back in a bowl for a dish) and he's really proud of this. He's now hocking his "keto friendly" lemonade for $30 a bag - nothing but a concoction of chemicals. He actually did a video a few weeks ago, promoting certain Subway foods (yes, the same Subway that used yoga mat ingredients in their breads, until they got caught) Unlike Abbey, who is a real nutritionist, Bobby's field is finance.
I was Thinkin the same....dont you guys find it weird that he posts her doing chores at 2 year old or like having her straight up eating all the ingredients of the recipes he is making? Idk....seems weird to me. I like how Abbey keeps her kids out of the youtube fame
okay but the whole tea comment about how *you must get organic, beware of Asian teas because they use dirty methods and bad fertilizers* was also Highkey xenophobic. there's nothing inherently wrong or dirtier about products from Asia.
Long legacy of xenophobia tied in with Western economic competition playing out here! During the Victorian era, Britain wanted to rely less on Chinese tea and get the market going on their British-processed blended teas (blended with tea leaves from China and colonized-India). A whole campaign which included the scientific community, tried to convince consumers that Chinese tea was “dirty” and bad and that the blended ones, although more acidic and harsher tasting at the time was better for you. It was also from this time that milk & sugar in your tea was encouraged (because again of the increases tannins and strength of blended teas at the time). Source: Sarah Besky’s article “Empire and Indigestion” for the Social Studies of Science Journal (2020).
@@alyssasydejesus2162 thanks for replying with a specific source!! I knew about the general Western competitiveness and xenophobia towards Asian exports, but this provides helpful context.
as a southeastern asian whose family has been buying and consuming products, since forever, from asia, there is some truth to where some teas come from. There are some asian companies using plastic, harmful pesticides, or even child labor. They can get away with it because they’re over seas and their country may not regulate the products’ production. There are some asian companies I avoid because of their practices.
As a brazilian, its really strange to watch those “what i eat in a day” healthy videos and dont see vegetables, beans, rice, salad in the lunch for me, the almoço is the key 😂
I actually like watching Bobby for his "clean" shopping hauls from places like trader joes, Costco and *gasp* Wal-Mart. It's refreshing to see someone not shop at whole foods and still get great healthy food. I try to tune out the detox and keto talk though 😬
Yes! Agreed! There is a lot that we can apply from Bobby’s suggestion. He’s a positive person and I don’t believe Bobby is in need of Abbey’s approval. She’s very sanctimonious and self-righteous. Is she the end all,be all in the world of nutrition? No! Bobby is his child’s parent, not Abbey. He can feed his child whatever he wants! If this lifestyle works for Bobby and his family, great! More power to them! Go find a passion and you won’t have room or time to be bashing this man.
@@janehoe. Nutritionists and dieticians can be bought. They work for the food industry. Even Abbey Sharp was sponsored by the dairy industry, and guess what she was doing on tv and on her blog? Telling people to drink more milk. why? Cause the dairy industry needs to sell milk. Look what the sugar industry did back in the 1950s and 1970s, they literally paid Harvard scientists and nutritionists and doctors to lie for them to tell people that sugar is good for them. Why? Cause they need to sell sugar and the money they give these scientists and doctors is going towards their funding. It's all about the money. Honey. Don't blindly trust somebody cause they said they're a nutritionists. Even your doctor is probably pushing some type of drug on you cause the pharmaceutical companies just came out with it and need to make a sale.
I watch some of his vids, as I do follow a lowish carb diet, but I admit he’s definitely over the top and he should stop the fear mongering, I do agree that his website is a great place for recipes!!’
@@melissaculpepper7663 that's not how that works. People can't just say whatever they want. That's why we have research. Most stuff he says is just made up which DOES make people afraid of things they don't need to be, ergo, fear-mongering.
He can afford the high price foods because he has over a million followers on RUclips and prolly makes a fortune. He’s obsessed because this is how he makes his living.
@@suzannabanana777 he gets sent most of it for free too through sponsorships, affiliate codes, and his relationships with numerous brands/services that he talks about on his channel.
I’m really glad you reviewed Bobby. When I was at my worst point of my ED I watched his videos a lot and it definitely wasn’t good for me. I was already eating so little and then he’d villianize a food and I’d take that as Bible truth because he’s popular on RUclips. It’s definitely smart to look around and do your own research!
@@JayJay-lb5wq no, ED is a real thing affecting a lot of guys eating Abbey's recommended diet. I guess it affects a lot of women on here too. Erectile dysfunction sucks for everybody involved.
Anways, I love the fact that Bobbie does the lable checking and shares it makes it so easy to decide what I want to put in or on my body. I work for the food industry and its scarry whats in our food.
Ritual is smart. They have all of these internet influencers promoting their products. Don't forget the influencers get paid (albeit not a ton) but they are compensated.
Thank you for driving the point home about his daughter. I am trying to fix 27 years of very disordered views on food. I also have 3 young daughters who parrot my views on food and I've already had to fix some of my mistakes. Here's to raising a generation of children with less food anxiety!
I watched him religiously during quarantine but eventually found it exhausting to shop like him. My bill was tripled and lots of condiments didn’t even taste good. The primal kitchen dressing was disgusting. He’s not a dietician so saying grass fed meat and pasteurized eggs was better is concerning. It gave the assumption that as long as you eat grass fed or pasteurize it’s healthy but if you have high cholesterol you still have to limit your intake.
Last year I was following Bobby and buying suggested items from Costco but then he did a video on what to eat if diabetic. Um, yeah....bad advice was given. So then I researched his educational background. He has a degree in business, not nutrition. I have never dumped a RUclipsr so fast in my life.
I just stumbled into his realm earlier tonight and my crap detector alarm went off within minutes. I wondered how he became such a TOXINS detecting expert. Was he a chemist? An MD specializing in diet and health? Nope. Just another businessman, selling to the gullible. Ridiculous, elitist bullshit.
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've watched many of Bobby's videos. I find him so rigid and restrictive that for me it is nearly impossible to follow all his recommends. I am working on getting healthier and reducing inflammation but I'm following the rule of progress not perfection and on my limited budget I need to find a balance and what works for me.
When I first started watching Bobby a few years ago his content was much less demoralizing. He did cooking videos and incorporated more carbs into his diet. Not alot....but some. It seemed more well balanced. It seemed to me he jumped on the keto/Paleo train to appeal to a bigger platform and make more money. So what seemed to start out as a love for cooking and meal prep evolved into a money maker.
THIS! I used to watch him several years ago before this drastic shift. He is quite the charlatan, as he has absolutely NO education nor training into ANYTHING remotely close to the topics he discusses, but he saw a niche and he went for it-- books, his channel growth, his app, etc-- Dude is just trying to grab money. It's so inappropriate.
@@Noname11364 progressive knowledge? Or diet choices? If his content was backed up by actual recent data I'd still be a believer. But it's fear mongering at its finest. And if I bought his new products or consumed what he does I'd be in the poor house.
I became disenchanted with Bobby because he continued to promote Atlantic salmon. I brought this to his attention, but apparently he doesn't read his comments or emails. I live in the PNW, and we have had problems with this species' pen breaks, attacking our natural wild salmon, putting up with their smelly pens, and know they are fed hormones. Our governor got involved with these messes, and of course, these fish also developed a lot of problems for our native Indian population and their fishing. He did not seem to give a damn, so I unsubscribed and also got tired of cherry picking his "information."
What bothers me primarily about Bobby involves his daughter Rose who rarely eats fruits or vegetables in their natural state. He has even commented about this when he offers her a piece of fruit and she refuses. I never see her grab a tomato, pepper etc, and I find it’s a little disturbing. Her tastes are more acclimated towards foods that probably have a high content of sodium and fats. My children we’re always offered broccoli, carrots sticks etc. I believe Rose would benefit from eating fruits and veggies in their natural state.
I grew up with two type 1 diabetics in the house and basically was raised on a Paleo diet in the 60s when it was just a diet with very little sugars. We all have always been slim and healthy and eating the same ever since.
Spot on! One of my favorites of yours. I used a clip of his calling the dirty dozen 'scary dirty.' Ugh. His poor daughter...she's going to grow up with so much fear around food. Sad.
Haha, that’s a dumb comment Neily. How is she going to grow up with fear over food. She seems extremely happy and they never tell her to not eat something. Judge your own kin not others
@@goldengoose81 Interesting comment. However I’m keenly aware how children mimic their parents and absorb all they do. For the child’s sake I do hope I’m wrong.
@@goldengoose81 she seems extremely happy but she’s only 2, so she isn’t nearly out of the woods yet. My mother had the same mentality around “clean” and “non toxic” food. I ended up with an eating disorder. Also children shouldn’t be on a low carb diet, generally speaking. His keto substitutes simply aren’t suitable for a 2 year old.
Bobby is very helpful but most people can't eat exactly what he eats. That's okay and don't follow people that are harmful for your mental health! I enjoy his tips and think he has good intentions!
Right!!! I dont follow everything he suggest. I choose what works for me and what l can afford. I started looking at the back of the package and read the labels. The front package is misleading. It say organic or 100 % natural until l read the back. He has helped me alot. My doctor just push pills and l push back and took control of my diet and lower my blood pressure and sugar level. My dietician suggested foods that spike my blood sugar levels to the roof so l fired her and did my own research. He educated you unlike these dietician and doctors who want you to keep coming back to the office for those high co pays. Always do your research. I rather pay a little more for organic meats and products that have none or less nasty ingredients than those high medical bills and prescriptions. I can use that money on healthy food choices.
This guy is my hero. I have been struggling with weight loss for about 15 years. In December I tried again but I had little hope because I was at 390 pounds (my heaviest) I didn’t think I could lose that amount of weight. To make it worse I have inactive tuberculosis and a really bad fatty liver. I am by far in my worst health, but when I started watching this dude videos, I not only started eating extremely healthy, but the food I was eating was absolutely delicious. Meaning I was never scared of breaking my diet because that was always the biggest problem in the past. And now my liver enzymes and ADL levels are normal to where I can take my tuberculosis medication. And the Inflammation for my rheumatoid arthritis is way down. Not only that but I currently weigh 274 pounds. I lost almost 120 pounds in 5 months. None of this would’ve been possible if it wasn’t for Bobby . Not only that but I had a really terrible time with stomach problems and diarrhea to where I thought I had a special disease for all of my life it turns out it was all those horrible inflammatory oils and sugars even when i tried to eat healthy I still got upset stomachs but now I haven’t had an upset stomach since January God bless you Bobby if you are reading this keep doing your work you have improved my life. Oh, and my skin is absolutely amazing. I have always had a problem with rough and gross chicken skin all over my body as well as acne but now I have such soft and beautiful skin. It’s like a baby I can’t believe the transformation all over my body. It’s pretty ridiculous and I don’t use any products at all. I don’t know if it’s because of my new diet or if it’s cause I’m not extremely fat anymore.
I’m glad that you talked about the influence he has on his young daughter. I was originally introduced to his channel by videos of her cooking in her tiny kitchen and the more I get to know about him, the more I worry for her. Sure, he’s doing what he thinks is best for her, but at what cost?
Can you elaborate? What do you mean by “the more I get to know about him”? What are you specifically alluding to that he is doing that is harming his daughter??? I’m genuinely curious because I’ve never seen anything that concerns me enough to call him out and say I’m worried about her well being, that is a pretty harsh claim I’m very interested in why on earth you would even suggest it.
I definitely agree with many of the comments about the nutrition labels, he has taught me a lot about those and ALSO understanding what some of the worse ingredients are compared to how they are marketed, but also agree that sometimes I walk away from his videos feeling more self-conscious and questioning my choices. I am a firm believer in balance. I definitely think he airs more on the side of restriction and stripping out everything. I just picture him being that person at a party who comes up to you and tries to tell you how many calories and nasty things are in your cake.....please don't kill my vibe. I took away the understanding of the labels, but do not watch him anymore. A little too "preachy" for my liking.
I've always had a creepy feeling from that dude. He seems orthorexic to me. And he seems to love to keep his followers terrified of literally everything in the store. He's super manipulative. Again, creepy.
@Anna I’m Not a Banana By his own volition, he chooses to upload harmful content like this. His intent is to sway people to believe the toxic crap he spews. Don't you even try to blame someone for their own eating disorder.
@@komfykoala6083there is nothing bullshit about his advice, infact he has helped many people clean their shit eating habits and is doing his best to warn people about all the shit in their food that they have no idea about. I can’t possibly understand how you have a problem with that! It’s not his fault on how you take the information he is giving and implementing it. In fact he eats very nice foods and has never been strict.

Why not list everything you sell and help sell here. Like allll those sponsors and shit.
Thanks to Bobby, I’ve learned so much about ingredients and what nutrition labels mean. I don’t follow all of his recommendations or his way of eating, but I find a lot of his videos pretty informative. My health and nutrition journey actually started with his channel. So I’m very grateful to him for that.
Thank you for your review, Abby. I love how respectful you always are.
Agree! I enjoy his content :)
This is very well said. Same here, I’ve learned a lot from him and don’t follow some of his recommendations (well to begin with it’s very expensive 😄). But at the very least, his videos are good starting point to a healthy nutrition diet. Like you’ve said kudos to Abby for being civil in her review 🙂
Same, I feel like I learned a lot from his channel and it definitely inspired me to eat healthier than I did. But I quickly learned that I don’t have his budget (or sponsorships/affiliations) and had to learn to pick and choose what I took from his advice.
Thank you for sharing what works for you! Glad you enjoyed the review 😊
@@stereotypea123 🙌🏻
Is no one going to talk about how this guy called his smoothie 100% plant-based, then proceeded to talk about the animal collagen that was in it? 👀
Plant based doesn’t always equal vegan
@@naturally.eccentric plant based means no animal products, so yes that’s not plant based
@@Mr35diamonds read the other comment and look up the word based
@@naturally.eccentric plant based always implies vegan, if a company is labeling a product 'plant based' and including animal products, they are directly misleading their consumers

@@cyberdaria vegan is a complete lifestyle change. Being that their are meat companies that make plant based food, plant based does not always mean vegan. That’s my point, companies are misleading.
I have fatty liver disease and I downloaded Bobby’s app and followed it and within 6 months my liver panel was back to normal!! He has helped me so much!!
Not how Non alcoholic steatohepatitis works
Are you a bot?
Bully for you.N=1.your personal anecdote is not a replicated double blinded clinical trial.did you control for confounding factors? A chef is not the same as a PhD or a MD or a pharmacist or a dietitian.
Bobby is awesome
Our family has learned to eat so much better bc of him and his app.
My kids love seeing if their food choices are in fact “Bobby approved”!
He makes eating healthier FUN!!
Please don’t hate on Bobby. No one’s perfect but if we all shine where we can the world will be a much brighter place ❤
The worst part is you are confirming that Bobby gave you advice to preserve your health. If he doesn’t have a license he can face serious legal repercussions including being criminally charged
This guy hitting all the buzzwords every other sentence actually sounds like a parody of healthy eating lol
Yup 😂
Lol but youre gonna trust a "Dietician" that tells you to intentionally feed "Carbs" to your kids. Ok. 🤦🏽♀️
As the child of a mom obsessed with being fit & healthy, I can confirm how much the well-intentioned demonizing of “unhealthy” foods messed up my relationship with food, body, & self. I have memories of sneaking candy as a small child because I thought it was bad & shameful. So grateful to be unlearning those beliefs! You have helped me so much to neutralize food, & I feel so much more free now! Thank you! 😊
🙏❤
I feel so sad for the little girl you were :*( a lot of my friends didn't often have access to sweet things when they were little because of shortages in the USSR, but they didn't have to be told that this thing they wanted was somehow a contagion, when they did get chocolate they could savour it and relish it without any kind of guilt, just sheer chocolate bliss
@Marilyn Willett Probably from friends, or bought with allowance or birthday money. Why does that matter? I grew up the same way and it wasn't until my late 20s that I was able to enjoy "bad" food in moderation instead of binging on it because I couldn't get it out of my head.
Why is unhealthy in quotes? SUGAR IS BAD FOR YOU. Eat what you want but don't like it's healthy.
I don’t think for him the main attention is “fit and healthy” the issue with the government and the FDA is giving us food that is banned in other countries but is in every store here in the US that makes us over weight lazy and gives us Diseases and makes us addictive to what they give us it’s more than food it’s in our toothpaste water even in our laundry detergent that messes with our hormones baby formula…. I could go on
We're living in a world with an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease etc. Being conscious of reading labels and focusing on healthy foods shouldn't be seen as a disorder.
But i still do want to mention that Bobby Parish is indeed a quack. The vast majority of his advice isn't based on any science whatsoever.
Facts, look at Bobby’s physique compared to the general population of the United States.
Agreed! Everyone wants to put a label on things. I hate on how judgmental she is and mean. He is showing us his daily diet and for the people that follow him. They know that he educates his followers to make better decisions and even points to them where the better deals are happening. I suffer from colon issues. Before Bobby I’ve had trouble going to the restroom but after changing and following his recommendations. I’m feeling better and no blockage at all. It’s all In the proof that’s all in saying. I feel better and my colon thanks me for it.
@@Koolkidpablo123 She may come across as judgmental but to be honest Bobby does say some stuff that is just scientifically unproven.
I like Bobby’s videos too because he shines light on the trash that is inside industrial food. But sometimes he just preached things that are unproven or wrong (like MSG being dangerous, vitamin C being an immune booster).
So saying that he is “educating” is not always true, he often just spreads fringe theories.. Glad that it works for you though
He spouts misinformation. A lot of crap he says isn’t sourced or correct. It’s actually really bad what he’s doing. He doesn’t have the education or knowledge to teach people health advice
Thanks! 👏
Dayyyuuummmmm. I personally like some of the tips Bobby has. But I also have found myself at the supermarket saying, “this would not be Bobby approved, but eff it, it’s what I can afford!”. This was a reminder that balance is key.
Totally!
Same! I'm always looking for expeller pressed oils, but if something isn't expeller pressed and I want it, I'll say that exact thing. 🤣
Same 😂😂😂 My hubs and I do that too… 😂😂
Same! I like his tips too, but I use them as a guideline,not hard and strict rules! I don't feel shamed when I can't afford something,or eat something I know doesn't have the best ingredients. It's all about balance for me. I grew up always trying diets,and obsessing over calories and macros. Now I just try to eat healthier foods with good ingredients,but I also have learned over the years that I cannot be super restrictive because I will binge. So ya, I would say I am coming out on the other side of getting a healthier relationship with food,food, Bobby's tips are awesome. I feel like abby totally attacked him. She wants to talk about drinking games...if I took a shot for every time she rolled her eyes at his video, or parent shamed him....id be passed out. Lol I really wish Abby would be more open to diff ways of eating. Even though she said " if keto makes you feel good then good for you",but yet she rolled her eyes at every low carb meal he ate. I am not keto or paleo,but gggeeezzzz I respect people's alternative ways of eating. If keto or paleo isn't ur jam...dont watch. I dunno...I just feel she is so negative about so many people. I have only seen ONE video of someone she likes. I have stayed away from her channel for that reason,her videos are always so negative that it leaves me with a ho hum feeling afterwards. I dunno why I watched this one....I guess I was expecting something different ?
This mindset is why the cheap unhealthy food market always wins.
So! This is COMPLETELY unrelated to your video, but I feel like you would love to know :) My husband and I recently adopted an adorable Akita named Keto. Any time you say Keto in any of your videos, he walks up to the TV because he wants you to pet him. Well, he took it a step further today and began looking for you around our house. He REALLY wants you to pet him :) You have officially won his heart❤️
Preciousssss❤
That is the nicest comment I read for the past few months 😊❤
Bobby has pioneered the education of common people about how to read labels and make informed food choices
they literally teach this in school.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Had digestive issues all my life until I started trying to eat what Bobby approves. He is doing a service to those who can't eat the US food garbage. Yes, its expensive, but good health is worth it.
@@gregoryalthouse9888 Eating healthy food is truly not expensive but cheaper! There are lots of products being marketed nowadays (as you will see with bobby) that you actually don’t need. Figure out what your goal is and do your part to research what foods are good for your goals. But don’t fall for gimmick products when you could easily get that stuff from a well balanced meal.
Parenting, school education, and going pescatarian all helped me read nutritional labels.
I had a dog and his name was BINGO
Okay, as a fellow dietitian-nutritionist who enjoys your videos, this is one I've been waiting for!
Same!!
Yay!
I'm not a dietitian yet but I'm getting there
I hope it was helpful!
Dietitian here too! I’m always referencing Abby’s videos with the other RDs at my job haha.
Abbey, women like you are the reason I decided to switch my career and study dietetics, you're respectful but show them the facts, debunk harmful "Wellness" "facts," and you're just overall strong and knowledgeable. Thank you so much :)
Watched this entire video abby .
I’m still a fan of Bobby and appreciate his efforts on trying to help us be more aware of purchases at grocery stores.
Personally, I have learned so much from him and I’ve made a lot healthier choices for my body since I began watching his videos months ago (while working out).
I’ve made great progress since then and still now.
I absolutely agree Rose! He has helped me so much in my journey toward better health. I love him. I guess tearing him down will get some views lol! Ride those coat tails baby! 😆
Not sure she’s tearing him down I think she’s rightly calling out some of what he does that isn’t right. I like his videos and think he’s helped me look at certain foods differently but I do think there is way too much obsession with supplements, clean and fixation is too much. I think her review is balanced
The dietitian in this video supports the Big pharmaceutical companies of course she's going to lie not every dietitian is like her though there's ones that want to be honest these things that Bobby tells you to avoid actually they cause dementia another future health problems they don't want you to know that though because then that can keep you on a strict medication cycle you'll never be able to get out of they'd rather have us where we have to take pills instead of actually getting better
In fact I know someone who has a Doctor Who's a dietitian but someone at the honest ones and told someone I know whose parents is suffering from dementia to cut out all natural flavors artificial flavors and they've gotten better coincidence I think not this dietitian is deliberately deceiving people in my opinion just so they can't get future clients
@@gnasherunited4432 except there is no truth in what she says I've seen dietitians exactly what Bobby is saying those are the honest ones who don't support the pharmaceutical companies a lot of them don't care and want to get you on a cycle of medication haven't you ever noticed when someone has high blood pressure some dietitians will try to always have them on medication got lucky and had an honest one the truth of the matter is those extra ingredients that she's saying confirming Factor cause dementia I know someone that their parents had dementia and their dietitian honest tell him to cut back all those artificial flavors and lo and behold their dementia got better education only serves to make you smart in your subject what you do with that morally life is a different scenario altogether
As a type 1 diabetic, there's nothing I find more irritating then when people call a food 'diabetic friendly' because it's low carb. There are 2 things wrong with this: 1. type 1 diabetics can eat carbs!!!! We just have to match our insulin dose and insulin timing to the carbs in the food we eat, so we can literally eat anything everyone else can. 2. if a diabetic does choose to go low carb (which is totally their right and should be decided on personal preference, NOT what other people think is best for you), these foods still aren't 'diabetic friendly'. In the absence of carbs, protein and fat affect blood sugar levels, and a type 1 diabetic will instead have to calculate insulin ratios for protein and fat, rather than carbs. Can we stop seeing 'diabetes' as a one size fits all disease?!
Yes! I have diabetes type 2... but I also hate a lot of the “diabetic friendly“ stuff because not every diabetic has the same reaction to the same types of food. And how much carbs you should theoretically be eating can change based on what medication you’re taking or whether you’re actually taking insulin and whether it’s slow release or quick acting
@@penelopejane5285 exactly! And what type of exercise you do etc. It’s so individualised
Here here!!! I'm giving you a standing ovation!!! 🙌
@@penelopejane5285 the number of net carbs is none.
Most people refer to type 2, since that is what 70% of Americans are struggling with in one form or another.
I know you're gonna get backlash from this and probably from Bobby but I agree 100% and it makes me really upset to see a parent talking about food that way in front of their very small child. I hope she grows up to have a healthy relationship with food.
I hope so too!
The foods she's being given may be odd, but she's eating them with gusto. He's not gatekeeping her touching or eating the foods.
@@5fingerjack did you just learn what gatekeeping means
@@5fingerjack she will have a healthy relationship as long as she doesn't follow the western guidelines.
I don't have to be a fan of Bobby to tell you that it's not true I've heard dietitian saying things that contradict this lady fact I know someone whose parents have dementia doctor told them to cut out all those are natural flavors basically what Bobby's eating guess what their dementia went away because it was the foods causing them you want to know why some dietitians aren't honest on medicine they rather make you get dependent on medication
Abbey, thank you for this video. I follow him & even started altering my diet based on statements he made. I was reading every label at the store. It got ridiculous & way too expensive. I decided to just eat a healthy diet, add more veggies & cut back on the sugar & snacks instead of eliminating them. Funny thing is I feel just as good as when I tried earing his way maybe even better.
I think he should come out with a low income cook book. 😂 his stuff is way to expensive, especially with a family!
Literally what I've done!
I'm sure Bobby would agree that the best diet is found in the outside areas of the supermarket rather than the center aisle. His educational tips serve a big purpose and, hopefully, is giving manufacturers a lesson in accountabilility!
No one said you had to follow his diet down to the exact details. This comment section is acting like Bobby has a gun to your head forcing you to buy everything he tells you. It's actually deranged. He's a guy in a supermarket making SUGGESTIONS. Is it a big secret that corporations add a bunch of fillers and other crap to their food? How is it bad to be skeptical and aware of that?
@@jasminerosepetal Bobby is a charlatan and you clearly didn’t learn your lesson from this video
Thanks for the non-stick cookware info! And as far as the "children will listen" thing, it's absolutely true. I worked in a daycare when the kitchen changed the menu and added more fresh veggies, quinoa, barley, and varied up the protein. The teachers balked, so the kids didn't eat. (Not my kids, though! We talked about the food, how pretty it was, and how fun to taste new things.)
Glad that was helpful!
He’s nothing but an overpaid salesman! I used to watch him but he’s just way too obsessive! Who packs a whole suitcase full of food to take on vacation to Bulgaria? Orthorexia! He also gives out medical information he has no business giving out!
Wow, I've spent some time travelling through Bulgaria and the food was amazing! Very fresh and un processed.
Agree on all counts.
Well, this is his passion. More power to him. To each their own!
I follow Bobby, I agree with some of his comments and some not, but he is very passionate, not overpaid.
@@melissaculpepper7663 if your passion is harmful and misinformation, NO, not more power to him. You people need to have standards. Not just "more power" to whatever lying salesman preaches BS.
Abby's videos make me realize I've had orthorexia related beliefs for years without knowing it and it's really nice to question these beliefs and see a different point of view!
Yep. Bobby is orthorexic and he encourages others to be

And “next level”
I feel like the man's diet is mostly powdered and "processed" for someone who cares so much about the words "natural" and "organic"
The fact that he doesn't eat those artificial things and all of those processes chemical says otherwise which means he doesn't eat processed and some dietitians actually suggest what Bobby is doing some dietitians though want to keep people dependent on medication instead of helping the source of the problem I know somebody who has parents who had dementia the doctor suggested cutting those things out just exactly like Bobby is doing and guess what he took the doctor's advice and his parents dementia went away because it was the food
HIS DIET IS CARBS, PANCAKES AND BACON!

I'm not sure I understood your comments but if someone's dementia really went away because of their diet, that is great!
I just like understanding what is in food when I eat it. I don’t follow his info to a T but I like knowing what is in my food. I just now look for the minimal amount of ingredients in a product.
Agree … he doesn’t tell me what “I HAVE” to eat/not eat. He merely brings to my attention what ingredients to be leery of and how companies use fillers that garner more profit for them … food that likely are not as healthy for us as they claim. For me using his app helps me avoid crappy ingredient foods. As for prices … my health is 100% worth it.
I really like him and don't think he is holier than though as she said. I feel she is being super critical. He is just trying to help us
@@samsamthecat492 I used to think that. But his videos in the last few years has made me question his motives. I have noticed contradictory things over the years. I think some stuff he says is accurate and good to follow. Other things he says is incorrect and I dont like how much fear mongering he does when the vast majority of people can never afford the products he pushes. Just my two cents
@@samsamthecat492The only thing he is trying to do is line his wallet with money. He's a salesman and gets paid to promote products. He's in it for the money, period!
I'm literally getting second hand exhaustion. This guy needs to just LIVE
😫
I like some of his posts but yes I agree lmao
That's literally wat he's trying to do.
Glad to get some “real talk” on Bobby! As someone who is recovering from Orthorexia I had ALL of his behaviors going on. I used to obsessively watch his channel too. I can’t with him anymore as his fear mongering pulls me right back in. Stay far away from Bobby if you have an ED.
I understand, I'm sorry if this was triggering for you!
What is ED?
in this context, eating disorder
Before watching this video I was pulling back from watching him .,, because his diet and food choices is too expensive!! I would go broke!! I stopped in the store, and I said to myself, wow so what can I eat 🤔.... he focus so much on the ingredients .he never look at the saturated fats.. what about that health, so much fat? I just watch my food intake and do the best I can, God give me the wisdom with a Daniel fast..
I grew up with a dad who has a very similar attitude toward food as Bobby, and I even followed Bobby's videos every week for a few years, and while I'm glad I developed a taste for healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, I would have REALLY preferred to have my parent be less obsessive about what we ate. It made me really anxious about my food choices, and like Abbey said, once I did get the chance to eat what I want, I went wild and ate just about anything that I hadn't eaten before. I'm fortunate that I didn't develop an ED, but I did have an unhealthy relationship with food and I'm glad I have a much healthier relationship with it now. To this day though, I still deal with health-related anxiety because my dad kept hammering the importance of how certain foods will prevent cancer and others will cause it every single day. So, I do believe there is definitely something to be said about how obsession with clean eating can have detrimental effects on one's physical and mental health. Also, I wasted a lot of money as a broke college student on simultaneously trying delicious "unhealthy" foods I'd never gotten to eat before and grocery shopping expensive "healthy" supplements and powders and oils to "counterbalance."
I mean, at least you grew up being instilled with healthy clean eating methods and habits. My parents were the opposite and let me eat myself into childhood obesity. Now I am unlearning all healthy habits and trying to reverse my food/eating addiction. Trying to help them but unfortunately they don’t care and now my dad is diabetic with high blood pressure.
I have followed him, as well. I didn't care for that preachy video, and his trying to get us to buy our food at that thrive market. I've always been concerned with his daughter. What happens when she grows up and wants to eat what her friends are eating...especially when she goes to college. I do appreciate his info regarding grocery store items. It's great to be informed to make our own decisions. Thanx for this video!
my mom has been saying natural does not mean anything arsenic is natural for over 20 years, it’s crazy how much misinformation is so widely accepted. Thank you for what you do abbey!!!!!!
Can you read between the lines? Obviously we know there are some natural ingredients that aren't good.. but we also know the chemicals that are also bad and food.. differences learning which ones are good and which ones are not and I can assure you that most chemicals in food are not good..

You're so right about Bobby possibly suffering from Orthorexia. Many episodes ago, his wife Dessi mentioned that it's a shame that they live in the restaurant district in Chicago but can't go to all these restaurants as Bobby deemed them "unhealthy". And it's possible that some restaurant food can be unhealthy but being such a stickler and not enjoying food for its sake, even just occasionally reeks of obsession with "healthy, Keto, etc etc" food.
He just fear mongers a lot
He does not realize his body cleans itself of the wuppose toxins we eat.
@@raizelshadez3122not always.
I feel like he'd be afraid go eat a cookie or a slice of cake just because its "unhealthy"
I’m sorry I couldn’t be married to a man like this. Life & food is not complicated.
I enjoy watching him shop for groceries. However, I can’t keep up with all his suggestions, and I don’t have the time or energy to fact check all his info.
Thank you for breaking it down for us! Abbey, I really enjoy your channel. 💜
So glad it was helpful!
I agree. I like that he is always showing products on sale or new products at the grocery stores that I always visit. But I can’t with how extreme he is.
i'm feeling exhausted after listening to him talking about the food and all the restrictions around it. It must be absolutelly awful to feel the need to live like that. His way of thinking reminds me so much of me during orthorexia times. It's just sad to watch.
Sad for you, joy for him. This is his passion. Don’t judge.
I understand. I'm sorry if it was triggering for you to watch
I agree I felt exhausted watching him. I truely hope this is his passion and not something more deeply rooted.
@@luckystar6871 False info? Abbey's info is false info. Eat sugar, white bread, horrible cereals for breakfast? Then crap on every single healthy dieter out there because Abbey has an eating disorder herself? Bobby identifies good products and helps identify things to avoid. You can take it or leave it. My personal knowledge of how to read food warning labels started with him. 90% of what's in the grocery store is garbage. All of the good doctors (hence not Abbey) tell you that no matter what the diet plan.
@@luckystar6871 What false info?
I love Bobby, alot of his recs have really helped with my gut health, I don't think he's pretentious just very passionate about what goes into his body, nothing wrong with that, you gotta take everything and everyone with a grain of salt. You are not meant to do everything that these people do or say . Pick what works for you and move on.
exactly
Right
You clearly didn’t watch the end of the video. Bobby uses shame, guilt and fear to get people to become orthorexic like him. If you follow him, it just means you’re an idiot
I'm so tired of all of the collagen supplement nonsense. If ingesting collagen gave you more collagen or helped you synthesize it more effectively, it would be medically regulated & used to treat Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, lol. And I would be the first thing to proselytize the glory of collagen supplements if that were a thing, lol
Signed, an EDS patient

That’s a really good and intelligent point.
@@rumas9041hmm Ive been taking hydrolyzed collagen(zhou brand) daily for years and have seen a huge difference in my skin, hair and nails, us it helps my gut and joints.
I agree 100% on the child eating what he was eating. I love that they are together but give her milk a waffle, or blueberries with her eggs. Great information!
Thanks!
I used to follow him religiously until he started to contradict the things he would say & would tell people in the stores he was filming in that they shouldn’t buy what they’re about to pick up. If you have your opinions on what you should & shouldn’t eat that’s fine but not everyone has the funds to eat the way he eats & shop the way he shops.
I find him incredibly irritating and arrogant - he continued to go out during the early days of quarantine and would touch lots of things in stores and then put them back on the shelf - so irresponsible!
@@MothGirl007 yes I remember in one of his shopping vids he would touch his mouth/nose & then touch the items & then leave them. For someone who always talks about sanitizing and keeping everything clean for the health of his family he didn’t think to do the same for others in the stores.
I just read where he is a millionaire so of course he can eat all organic and grass fed and finished etc. I can't.
@@patriciamueller6519 exactly. Eating clean and taking supplements isn’t always cheap. I try to eat as clean as possible but I can’t always afford to eat all organic items and grass fed meat. Especially where I live I can’t always find all organic no vegetable/canola oil products.
I hope his daughter doesn't grow up to have an unhealthy relationship with food. I feel like I would be terrified of food if I was raised around this kind of talk
I hope so too!
Yeah. Parents do a number on us that's for sure. My mom didn't raise me this extreme or anything, but she ate the smallest amount of food possible from dawn until 6 p.m. and then had dinner in normal amounts and called it good. Growing up with that example? Even though I'm fat? I still struggle to eat more than once a day because of seeing it my whole life. Plus I was afraid of treat foods a lot because my mom really restricted them -- until I over ate them in my 20s and I'm finally back in a healthy and balanced place about that (at 36).
So lol yeah...i feel worried for this kid too.
@Alicia what the hell are you talking about? Just let her eat without telling her no? How do you even come up with this nonsense?

@@nancygatto4963 How do you know he eats what he sells? Do you live in his house?
No, that isn't true. He helps you identity the better products to purchase. There are things like thrive market, but he shows you the actual products in the store like at Costco, Walmart, whole foods, and others. The amount you can learn from him about reading labels is huge.
@@huntsman528 sadly, reading labels and knowing what your putting in your body, is something you should already know
@@Tbisme19 I 100% agree, but I didn't until last year when I started watching his channel. My folks didn't know growing up, and the vast majority of Americans don't know either.

I enjoy watching Bobby as well as Abbey. Both provide greater focus on what we're eating. Not sure, however, this was a good video. She's criticizing Bobby for moralizing while she's moralizing. This feels like an video to get the attention of his subs, and I expect better from her.

But she couldn't refute any of his claims. At most, she seemed like she felt it was unnecessary. Most of what he said had a point. He likes to eat super clean and is careful about what he puts in his body, checking every ingredient in the food product. Abbey is more about balance meals than what ingredients are in the food. So it's two different values.

Right. One of my grandmothers was raised poor in Mississippi. She chain smoked Kool 100 cigarettes while watching her soap operas, cooked with lard, ate huge farm hand breakfasts complete with bacon AND sausage every day, drank soda (she loved her RC cola), fried pretty much everything that could be fried, got us grandkids White Castle or Burger King for lunch when we’d stay with her in the summer... and lived into her 90’s. My other grandmother was ahead of her time in the 50’s. Into yoga, clean eating (she was a weirdo trailblazer with non dairy milks, meat substitutes, and vegetarianism), and meditation. She was also an uptight, mean spirited, anxious person. She died suddenly in her early 60’s. Moral of the story: stop overthinking life and live.
@@rozchambers I understand what you’re saying, but the opposite has happened with my family. The “unhealthy” older people in my life were legit unhealthy because they smoked and shit and died from preventable causes as young as 65. My great grandma in Greece who was abjectly poor her whole life yet ate a true Cretan diet rich in EVOO and vegetables lived to 102 and didn’t need a cane until 96. She was incredibly energetic and strong for her age.
So, anecdotes are nice and all, but smoking cigarettes everyday still isn’t good for you. I’m glad your grandma was one of the few people who didn’t get lung cancer or some other horrible health problem, but I’m still going to encourage the folks in my family to quit because the risk isn’t worth it despite one person in the family who didn’t have issues. 🤷♀️
@@Becky0494 Totally agree with what you’re saying. You should eat as heathy as you can and avoid risky health behaviors like smoking, but the overthinking every product you use and taking all these powders and supplements (like this guy) in an obsessive way is not healthy either. My mom (the daughter of the obsessive health nut grandma) raised my siblings and I very balanced, pretty much how Abbys approach is. We’re all very healthy and have a great relationship with food instead of having an obsessive need to hunt down the latest super food or magic tincture. Genetics plays a huge role too.
It's crazy that he follows stuff like the dirty dozen? The same freaking stuff that real nutritionists (aka not Abby) tell you? He specifically says not everything has to be organic. He does stay away from certain GMOs like corn.
Bobby is amazing and I love all his suggestions and help! Soooo much is wrong with our food sources. I really appreciate his honesty!
Seriously no one makes me feel worse than Bobby about what I eat 😬 Some of his polarizing language about clean and dirty foods is rough for me.
Omg me tooo!!! I feel like the worst wife and mother for feeding my family all these evil toxic things and I have to step back and remind myself!
@@alexisreeves9266 right?!?! Especially since I have a toddler and some of the foods he feeds Rose.... like I'm giving my son chicken noodle soup not bone broth 🤷♀️
It’s just not realistic for your day to day or your wallet
How many things are actually on "the dirty dozen list"? More than 12!
Knowledge is power. Take information and make changes as you can. It’s not about feeling guilty, but if you can make a healthy change in what you eat, why wouldn’t you? Just a thought.
His poor Daughter. His food behavior is very dangerous. I hope it doesn't give her an unhealthy body image.
He’s a good, loving Daddy. How about supporting others rather than bashing them or judging them. If Bobby gets excited about all of his Keto stuff, then more power to him. Why does Abbey have to get so angry about Bobby being “obsessive” or hyping new trends. Why is she so cranky? If Abbey is so wonderful and kind, and “golly-gee” supportive and altruistic, then why resort to cursing over his videos? Hmmmm. Bobby seems a heck of a lot happier than Abbey…guess whatever he’s doing is working for Bobby. Abbey talks about all of the tweaks she would do. She’s equally obsessive because she “tweaks” everyone’s diets on her channel. He’s not looking for nutritional advice from you, Abbey. You’re cussing over Bobby’s “moralizing” food. You’re spreading your disapproval and judging him because you don’t agree with him. You’re not anyone’s personal doctor here. Your channel isn’t/shouldn’t be a substitute for people with eating disorders or for anyone trying to eat well. Bobby is actually teaching about reading labels and eating better(as he sees it…just as you likewise do the same). You just seem to be of the opinion that your ways are “higher” than his. Anyone here who is struggling should be seeking real medical support.
Your cursing isn’t positive or professional, even. It actually diminishes your credibility. If you’re speaking truth, no need to be profane. You’re so worried about Bobby’s little girl. Why don’t you worry about your little children hearing their Mommy’s potty mouth. Do you think they will feel proud to hear their Mother speaking this way? If so, maybe you should spend more time worrying about that than other people’s channel content.
@@melissaculpepper7663 I do believe he's a good Dad for sure. But that diet culture is very dangerous for growing children. I believe he shouldn't discuss it so much. I am not judging him in any way. He seems like a nice person. Didn't mean to come off that way. I have teens and I have seen eating disorders that come from food shaming a lot.
"His food behavior is very dangerous"
No, it is not. What's *dangerous* is "intuitive eating" nonsense and eating for pleasure and having to get your leg amputated or getting cataracts, arthritis, heart disease, etc later on in life. It's a bit expensive with all those supplements, but considering the amount of runaway disease these days (even among younger individuals) it's not unreasonable to be vigilant about a lot of what you're putting in your mouth
@@melissaculpepper7663 chill the fuck out.
Oh it definitely will. Sadly, that kid will probably have orthorexia and health misinformation when she grows up. No matter how "well meaning" the heavily misinformed father is.
I find that Bobby has really helped me and my family eat clean.
He’s opened my eyes to how much toxic crap the United States allows in our “food”.
All for the sake of cash 💰

I’m glad the review was helpful!
What do you disagree with? He promotes healthy ingredients. I'm not ready sure how you can disagree with anything he says.
I used to regularly watch him and he definitely made me scared to eat a lot of different foods and caused my grocery bill to be triple what it usually was. It took a lot of time for me to unlearn a lot of what he embedded in my head when it comes to what foods I could eat
I'm sorry it was triggering for you!

Bobby has helped me so much with my diet and nutrition. I’m someone who’s been battling with pre-diabetes and hashimotos, and I can honestly say that you’ll either pay for your health in food or medicine. Thankfully Bobby has an app that makes it even easier to find those DIRTY ingredients in grocery stores that spike blood sugar and have carcinogenic side effects. FYI I am no longer in a pre diabetic state thanks to Bobby’s hard work with shedding some light on the western diet. It takes nothing to be a critic, be careful demonizing other peoples work that’s benefiting so many others.
My thoughts exactly, Bobby approved is awesome, went from prediabetec 5.7 to 5.2 a1c now!! In 4 months, I call that a win win in my eyes
@@AlruMoToRiderz That’s a massive win! Congratulations!
he is a public figure, criticism comes with the territory. nothing in this video is demonizing Bobby
Damn, the pseudoscience is strong. I would argue Bobby’s information is harmful regardless of his audience’s benefits.
Right! His videos are really informational.
“The most bougie extra meal”
This is why I love Abbey so much!
This guy gives me cult leader vibes
Bestie no he’s a apart of a pyramid scheme and not level 10 like 3 😩
I've constantly said its like a cult movement and I should know as I was suckered 8nto a cult without even realising it
I think you mean Abbey's channel/followers. No where does Bobby say you have to eat like him. He's always recommending stuff that he doesn't eat, cause it's the best you can get. Abbey on the other hand tells her followers that healthy nutrition is hard, so eat white bread and sugar cereal and don't listen to all of those other 'bad' experts (including practicing doctors). Her follows obey her and believe her indoctrination. So who's in a cult now?
Bobby's healthy eating has saved my life I am diabetic high blood pressure high cholesterol FREE he's shown me how to clean my refrigerator and cupboards of all the bad stuff.
You have to do a review of when he goes to the grocery stores! He will literally stop people in the store and tell them not to buy things.
I’ll have a look at those!
Because he’s pointing out healthier options
that's high-key basis to commit crimes against him. imagine being in ed recovery and having to deal with that, id pass away on the spot

I agree. Homemade Bone Broth is the best.
Bobby is exhausting...Their cute little daughter is going to be ocd to keep up with what she can and cannot eat, her supplements etc. People pass their neurosis on to their children, it is a shame.
I was just enjoying a gramcracker sandwich with walnut butter and ethically produced chocolate while finishing work. I thought you know what would go well as a background noise for this snack, an Abbey Sharp video, and here you are.
Sounds amazing!
WALNUT BUTTER IS A THING?????????? HOW HAVE I LIVED THIS LONG WITHOUT IT
@@CM-re1xe I was just thinking the same thing!
That sounds absolutely divine 😍
I buy mine from crazy go nuts. They have some sugar, 1-5 grams per serving depending on flavor, but it's protien I wouldn't get otherwise. My favorite are th chocolate espresso on sliced apples or the oatmeal cookie in oatmeal.
He has also said when you eat complex carbohydrates that it doe no spike insulin. White bread has no nutritional value . compared to whole grain wheat bread, or sprouted wheat bread, He also uses vegetable in his menu's. We have a Bobby Parrish cookbook, and found many great recipes. What I like, is he tells us what ingredients to avoid, carrageenan , natural flavor and many man more. He must be doing something right, he has over 3 million subscribers.
I had to stop watching Bobby's videos. While I was watching them, I was obsessed with ingredients and terrified of everything - even foods that I thought were good for me and my children, but they weren't completely organic or the olive oil I bought didn't come from a specific place, etc... Now I just focus on balance. I'm not sure if it's actually healthier for my body, but I can tell it's better for my mental health and sanity.
me too, I'm so glad you were able to shift your focus!
Me too! Had to just stop
I totally understand!
Agreed, they made me neurotic and obsessed with food, and now I'm orthorexic and don't know how to stop. I feel so much guilt when I eat something "bad" now. Hopefully I can kick this and find some balance. The grocery bill is sky high too now
He doesn't say to only eat organic. Also, the freaking olive oil we were using in our house turned out to be fake after we tested it, so yeah that is freaking real.
Love Bobby! I have IBS and thanks to him I feel much better. Showing truth and wanting to help people to eat better, knowing exactly what is in our food can’t get any better than that! Health is Life

Hi! I work in the medical field in urgent care, and I sometimes get IBS patients. What do you eat that helps you deal with your IBS? (Just for my own knowledge and so I can help my patients better)
@@j_e_z_ They're a person with the illness. Sometimes people suffering with an affliction have knowledge that professionals don't if they've dealt with it long enough. For example, most doctors would not recommend someone take broccoli for chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, but I found that out through being someone afflicted with that illness myself.
Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this video because as a relatively new mom, trying to feed my 1.5 year old while keeping all this is mind, created so much anxiety around shopping for food, and preparing “healthy” meals for my baby.
I've been following Bobby for a couple of years now and here's my take. He's become a salesman, pure and simple. He uses his speech impaired 2 year old in his videos , teaching her awful habits (drinking from containers meant for everyone, spitting ice cubes back in a bowl for a dish) and he's really proud of this. He's now hocking his "keto friendly" lemonade for $30 a bag - nothing but a concoction of chemicals. He actually did a video a few weeks ago, promoting certain Subway foods (yes, the same Subway that used yoga mat ingredients in their breads, until they got caught) Unlike Abbey, who is a real nutritionist, Bobby's field is finance.
I was Thinkin the same....dont you guys find it weird that he posts her doing chores at 2 year old or like having her straight up eating all the ingredients of the recipes he is making? Idk....seems weird to me. I like how Abbey keeps her kids out of the youtube fame
@@LuciaCasucci It's very weird that a parent wouldn't put a sample of something in a teaspoon for the child to try and instead they indulge her.

You all are ridiculous. Hahah. Using words like triggered and commenting on how others raise their kids. Lol.
@@nancygatto4963 chill it is OK to disagree we are in a democracy last time I checked. Politely disagreeing can actually be beneficial.
okay but the whole tea comment about how *you must get organic, beware of Asian teas because they use dirty methods and bad fertilizers* was also Highkey xenophobic. there's nothing inherently wrong or dirtier about products from Asia.
Amen thank you for saying that. It super pissed me off to hear that.
Absolutely, that is another great point
Long legacy of xenophobia tied in with Western economic competition playing out here! During the Victorian era, Britain wanted to rely less on Chinese tea and get the market going on their British-processed blended teas (blended with tea leaves from China and colonized-India). A whole campaign which included the scientific community, tried to convince consumers that Chinese tea was “dirty” and bad and that the blended ones, although more acidic and harsher tasting at the time was better for you. It was also from this time that milk & sugar in your tea was encouraged (because again of the increases tannins and strength of blended teas at the time). Source: Sarah Besky’s article “Empire and Indigestion” for the Social Studies of Science Journal (2020).
@@alyssasydejesus2162 thanks for replying with a specific source!! I knew about the general Western competitiveness and xenophobia towards Asian exports, but this provides helpful context.
as a southeastern asian whose family has been buying and consuming products, since forever, from asia, there is some truth to where some teas come from. There are some asian companies using plastic, harmful pesticides, or even child labor. They can get away with it because they’re over seas and their country may not regulate the products’ production. There are some asian companies I avoid because of their practices.
As a brazilian, its really strange to watch those “what i eat in a day” healthy videos and dont see vegetables, beans, rice, salad in the lunch
for me, the almoço is the key 😂
I'm from Trinidad, our basic meal is rice, beans and vegetables
I actually like watching Bobby for his "clean" shopping hauls from places like trader joes, Costco and *gasp* Wal-Mart. It's refreshing to see someone not shop at whole foods and still get great healthy food. I try to tune out the detox and keto talk though 😬
Me too!
Yes! Agreed! There is a lot that we can apply from Bobby’s suggestion. He’s a positive person and I don’t believe Bobby is in need of Abbey’s approval. She’s very sanctimonious and self-righteous. Is she the end all,be all in the world of nutrition? No! Bobby is his child’s parent, not Abbey. He can feed his child whatever he wants! If this lifestyle works for Bobby and his family, great! More power to them! Go find a passion and you won’t have room or time to be bashing this man.
@@melissaculpepper7663 she's literally a nutrition expert. If there was a medical doctor for dietetics, Abbey is that.
Thanks for sharing, I'm glad some of those videos are helpful for you!
@@janehoe. Nutritionists and dieticians can be bought. They work for the food industry. Even Abbey Sharp was sponsored by the dairy industry, and guess what she was doing on tv and on her blog? Telling people to drink more milk. why? Cause the dairy industry needs to sell milk. Look what the sugar industry did back in the 1950s and 1970s, they literally paid Harvard scientists and nutritionists and doctors to lie for them to tell people that sugar is good for them. Why? Cause they need to sell sugar and the money they give these scientists and doctors is going towards their funding. It's all about the money. Honey. Don't blindly trust somebody cause they said they're a nutritionists. Even your doctor is probably pushing some type of drug on you cause the pharmaceutical companies just came out with it and need to make a sale.
I watch some of his vids, as I do follow a lowish carb diet, but I admit he’s definitely over the top and he should stop the fear mongering, I do agree that his website is a great place for recipes!!’

That looks like a very expensive lifestyle. His daughter Rose is adorable, though, she often cooks with him ❤️.
If he can afford it, great! I wish I could. However, he’s taught me a lot about reading labels and preparing food. I love how positive Bobby is.

Way overboard on the supplements.

He's always recommending his viewers to buy organic natural whole foods but why does he need supplements.
Ritual is smart. They have all of these internet influencers promoting their products. Don't forget the influencers get paid (albeit not a ton) but they are compensated.
All I'm going to say collagen helps me be in pain free from my joints!!! And that is a way more beneficial than the beautiful job does on my skin!
Thank you for driving the point home about his daughter. I am trying to fix 27 years of very disordered views on food. I also have 3 young daughters who parrot my views on food and I've already had to fix some of my mistakes. Here's to raising a generation of children with less food anxiety!
"Health" gurus: "I only eat natural foods!"
Also "health" gurus: *eats crushed up animal bones*
Those supplements are....dare I say....processed to get into that shelf stable powder form 😫 oh noooo!
True!
I watched him religiously during quarantine but eventually found it exhausting to shop like him. My bill was tripled and lots of condiments didn’t even taste good. The primal kitchen dressing was disgusting. He’s not a dietician so saying grass fed meat and pasteurized eggs was better is concerning. It gave the assumption that as long as you eat grass fed or pasteurize it’s healthy but if you have high cholesterol you still have to limit your intake.
That’s my issue with it. I don’t see the qualifications on any of his channels.
Pasture raised is different than pasteurized
Last year I was following Bobby and buying suggested items from Costco but then he did a video on what to eat if diabetic. Um, yeah....bad advice was given. So then I researched his educational background. He has a degree in business, not nutrition. I have never dumped a RUclipsr so fast in my life.
Oh no 😫
Was that the one where he said to eat hemp hearts instead of oatmeal?
What pray tell did you get from Costco that he recommended that was bad?
That was the one that made me unsubscribe too! 💯
I just stumbled into his realm earlier tonight and my crap detector alarm went off within minutes. I wondered how he became such a TOXINS detecting expert. Was he a chemist? An MD specializing in diet and health? Nope. Just another businessman, selling to the gullible. Ridiculous, elitist bullshit.
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've watched many of Bobby's videos. I find him so rigid and restrictive that for me it is nearly impossible to follow all his recommends. I am working on getting healthier and reducing inflammation but I'm following the rule of progress not perfection and on my limited budget I need to find a balance and what works for me.
But he has no degree to back up his statements. And he’s not a trained chef.

When I first started watching Bobby a few years ago his content was much less demoralizing. He did cooking videos and incorporated more carbs into his diet. Not alot....but some. It seemed more well balanced. It seemed to me he jumped on the keto/Paleo train to appeal to a bigger platform and make more money. So what seemed to start out as a love for cooking and meal prep evolved into a money maker.
🎯👍🏼💯
Yup, the man made a video titled 'you are eating arsenic laced rice!' 🤦♀️
THIS! I used to watch him several years ago before this drastic shift. He is quite the charlatan, as he has absolutely NO education nor training into ANYTHING remotely close to the topics he discusses, but he saw a niche and he went for it-- books, his channel growth, his app, etc-- Dude is just trying to grab money. It's so inappropriate.
No, I think as he started this journey he’s become more educated and therefore has released content according to his progressive knowledge.
@@Noname11364 progressive knowledge? Or diet choices? If his content was backed up by actual recent data I'd still be a believer. But it's fear mongering at its finest. And if I bought his new products or consumed what he does I'd be in the poor house.
I became disenchanted with Bobby because he continued to promote Atlantic salmon. I brought this to his attention, but apparently he doesn't read his comments or emails. I live in the PNW, and we have had problems with this species' pen breaks, attacking our natural wild salmon, putting up with their smelly pens, and know they are fed hormones. Our governor got involved with these messes, and of course, these fish also developed a lot of problems for our native Indian population and their fishing. He did not seem to give a damn, so I unsubscribed and also got tired of cherry picking his "information."
He never uses farmed fish, including salmon. Not sure where you got this from. He promotes only wild caught fish, shrimp, etc.
What bothers me primarily about Bobby involves his daughter Rose who rarely eats fruits or vegetables in their natural state. He has even commented about this when he offers her a piece of fruit and she refuses. I never see her grab a tomato, pepper etc, and I find it’s a little disturbing. Her tastes are more acclimated towards foods that probably have a high content of sodium and fats. My children we’re always offered broccoli, carrots sticks etc. I believe Rose would benefit from eating fruits and veggies in their natural state.
She's eating healthier than most children. Would you be complaining about someone feeding her canned raviolis? Gosh. Can't win.
I grew up with two type 1 diabetics in the house and basically was raised on a Paleo diet in the 60s when it was just a diet with very little sugars. We all have always been slim and healthy and eating the same ever since.
@@Shawnacl09 right? She's eating pretty healthy than most children in the western world.

Bobby is very helpful but most people can't eat exactly what he eats. That's okay and don't follow people that are harmful for your mental health! I enjoy his tips and think he has good intentions!
Right!!! I dont follow everything he suggest. I choose what works for me and what l can afford. I started looking at the back of the package and read the labels. The front package is misleading. It say organic or 100 % natural until l read the back. He has helped me alot. My doctor just push pills and l push back and took control of my diet and lower my blood pressure and sugar level. My dietician suggested foods that spike my blood sugar levels to the roof so l fired her and did my own research. He educated you unlike these dietician and doctors who want you to keep coming back to the office for those high co pays. Always do your research. I rather pay a little more for organic meats and products that have none or less nasty ingredients than those high medical bills and prescriptions. I can use that money on healthy food choices.
This guy is my hero. I have been struggling with weight loss for about 15 years. In December I tried again but I had little hope because I was at 390 pounds (my heaviest) I didn’t think I could lose that amount of weight. To make it worse I have inactive tuberculosis and a really bad fatty liver. I am by far in my worst health, but when I started watching this dude videos, I not only started eating extremely healthy, but the food I was eating was absolutely delicious. Meaning I was never scared of breaking my diet because that was always the biggest problem in the past. And now my liver enzymes and ADL levels are normal to where I can take my tuberculosis medication. And the Inflammation for my rheumatoid arthritis is way down. Not only that but I currently weigh 274 pounds. I lost almost 120 pounds in 5 months. None of this would’ve been possible if it wasn’t for Bobby . Not only that but I had a really terrible time with stomach problems and diarrhea to where I thought I had a special disease for all of my life it turns out it was all those horrible inflammatory oils and sugars even when i tried to eat healthy I still got upset stomachs but now I haven’t had an upset stomach since January God bless you Bobby if you are reading this keep doing your work you have improved my life. Oh, and my skin is absolutely amazing. I have always had a problem with rough and gross chicken skin all over my body as well as acne but now I have such soft and beautiful skin. It’s like a baby I can’t believe the transformation all over my body. It’s pretty ridiculous and I don’t use any products at all. I don’t know if it’s because of my new diet or if it’s cause I’m not extremely fat anymore.
I’m glad that you talked about the influence he has on his young daughter. I was originally introduced to his channel by videos of her cooking in her tiny kitchen and the more I get to know about him, the more I worry for her. Sure, he’s doing what he thinks is best for her, but at what cost?
@annanotbanana4789 i agree. It's better for a parent to care.
Can you elaborate? What do you mean by “the more I get to know about him”? What are you specifically alluding to that he is doing that is harming his daughter??? I’m genuinely curious because I’ve never seen anything that concerns me enough to call him out and say I’m worried about her well being, that is a pretty harsh claim I’m very interested in why on earth you would even suggest it.
I definitely agree with many of the comments about the nutrition labels, he has taught me a lot about those and ALSO understanding what some of the worse ingredients are compared to how they are marketed, but also agree that sometimes I walk away from his videos feeling more self-conscious and questioning my choices. I am a firm believer in balance. I definitely think he airs more on the side of restriction and stripping out everything. I just picture him being that person at a party who comes up to you and tries to tell you how many calories and nasty things are in your cake.....please don't kill my vibe. I took away the understanding of the labels, but do not watch him anymore. A little too "preachy" for my liking.
He managed to make his orthorexia work for him
he also loves to preach that "all sugar is bad" unless its a product from a company that hes invested in. hes a conman
I've always had a creepy feeling from that dude. He seems orthorexic to me. And he seems to love to keep his followers terrified of literally everything in the store. He's super manipulative.
