Sugar is sugar is way more addicting. Sugar is more addicting than cocaine.
00:00:06.080
You know that? Do you know that? I believe it. Do you know that?
00:00:09.760
I know you've never done cocaine, Pearl, but I've been to Colombia a couple times.
00:00:16.040
Let me tell you something. It's crazy how addictive sugar is.
00:00:22.400
And it's honestly, in the United States, sugar is in everything.
00:00:26.820
It's in bread in the States. High fructose syrup is in the bread.
00:00:31.980
There's sugar in every single thing in the States.
00:00:35.040
And that's the main reason why so many people are fat in the States.
00:00:39.560
Because everything has sugar in it. The salad dressing has sugar in it.
00:00:43.420
People are like, I'm going to be healthy. I'm going to eat a salad.
00:00:45.460
And they have fucking salad dressing that has sugar and all these seed oils in it.
00:00:49.160
So we're living in this kind of contaminant world.
00:00:52.400
But there's a lot of people making these breakthroughs and coming through
00:00:55.280
and understanding the fundamentals of nutritional science and putting it into food.
00:01:01.140
But the average person is just so poorly uneducated.
00:01:12.240
The food pyramid said you needed to eat six to 11 servings of bread or rice a day.
00:01:24.460
It's your responsibility to educate yourself on nutrition.
00:01:33.420
Years ago, I did, but when I got really fat, when I told you, when I went vegan,
00:01:38.220
I started looking at what is in the food and the ingredients.
00:01:46.240
But now that we have social media, it's become a lot easier.
00:01:48.880
But if you think about years ago, we didn't have this.
00:01:54.640
You know, now ketchup is considered a fruit in the food pyramid of the United States.
00:02:05.220
If it was from a sugar cane, if it was from a fruit, it's natural sugar.
00:02:19.780
I lost the weight when I started sports, but the habits continued.
00:02:24.940
Yeah, and I know how to make really good cookies from scratch.
00:02:29.160
And it's with all natural stuff because you're making it from scratch.
00:02:36.680
I used to eat like half of the cookie dough when I was a kid.
00:02:39.680
And like the American diet, like the mainstream American diet is just so unfortunately unhealthy.
00:02:46.920
Like, you know, do you know which country has the lowest obesity rate in the world?
00:03:02.560
And if you ever go to Vietnam, if you eat there, it's like, first of all, if you ever go to Vietnam, it's just like a giant, it's like a small city in a jungle.
00:03:15.200
There's not a lot of GMO nonsense, you know, Vietnam has one of the lowest divorce rates in the world too, 7%.
00:03:27.620
And I used to have a boy called Lina when I was in primary school as well.
00:03:32.140
Yeah, so like, you know, the food, when you eat there too, and I've noticed this because, you know, I travel a lot.
00:03:39.140
But honestly, every time I go back to America and I start eating American food, I get like a bloated stomach.
00:03:50.480
Now that I'm vegan, if I ever eat, because obviously I've grown up on processed food.
00:03:55.360
I've grown up with meat, you know, and, you know, fish and all that kind of thing.
00:04:00.360
So when I go back to eating those kind of foods, it does, it affects me.
00:04:08.320
I went to, I just went to the United States and every time I go back to America, I just have to eat Chick-fil-A.
00:04:18.360
I eat like the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich or I eat the, or the breakfast biscuit or whatever.
00:04:22.900
And then my stomach, I look like I'm three months pregnant.
00:04:31.760
If I do eat something and I know I'm bloated, I have a waist trainer that I wear.
00:04:40.420
If I know I want to eat something, my waist trainer is in my bag.
00:04:48.820
Let's explore what waist trainers do for people and to people.
00:04:54.040
Because waist trainers, you know, they used to be used for posture correction.
00:04:58.020
And you have like, you know, post-surgery garments like Farha's.
00:05:01.900
But if you are just putting on a waist trainer and let's say you're wearing it for extended
00:05:05.940
periods of time because you're super committed to having a snatched waist, what is that doing
00:05:20.620
I just can't see waist trainers being as big of a problem as obesity.
00:05:28.260
I think that's why we focus on obesity a lot more is because it's just a way bigger problem.
00:05:34.760
I'm so tired of the UK clowning on America for being overweight.
00:05:38.320
Because I looked up the stats and it's not that different.
00:05:47.360
It's like, it's like, okay, I think we're like 70% overweight.
00:05:56.080
I think they're in the hillbilly sides of England.
00:06:01.320
I was expecting to see a bunch of fatties here.
00:06:06.320
I think it's because everybody's walking all the time here.
00:06:57.480
I mean, objectively speaking, she was a little bit on the chubbier side.
00:07:04.960
And then I wrote, she's about 40 pounds too heavy for me.
00:07:10.080
And she was really, really, really, really upset that I said this.
00:07:19.240
And the reality is, though, like, if you look at her, like, her weight is still what it is.
00:07:29.840
You know, it's like, so I went to America and basically a girl got angry because I said she was a little heavier than I preferred for my sexual preference.
00:07:56.680
And especially if he's making fun of something that you can change.
00:08:03.340
And until we stop doing that, until we stop doing that, we have no right to tell men what they can and can't prefer.
00:08:14.920
Because basically, I went to America and a fat girl got mad at me because she was fat.
00:08:22.660
Because if there was no truth in that, you weren't a bit of angry as she was.
00:08:33.100
Because a fat person would not get angry if you don't...
00:08:41.740
And the other thing I don't understand is, like, celebrities like Lizzo will lead with their weight.
00:08:50.620
Because she's in these super scantily, like, she's wearing basically nothing.
00:08:56.300
And then she gets mad when people comment on her weight.
00:09:01.520
Because she didn't lead with it until she lost it.
00:09:06.440
And then they said that she might have not been well when she lost the weight.
00:09:14.260
But, like, she's lost all that weight and she looks amazing.
00:09:22.440
And even Lizzo, she wore, like, a thong to a basketball game with kids.
00:09:37.500
And it's like, it's like, if an Instagram model leads with her body and men call her a slut.
00:09:44.800
If you lead with, like, if an Instagram, even a thin one, it's like an Instagram model.
00:09:49.960
She's wearing nothing and then people call her a slut.
00:09:55.840
I'm wearing, I don't know what this is called, but it doesn't have.
00:10:02.940
So, if I had a smaller chest, people probably wouldn't pick up on the fact that I'm wearing
00:10:10.520
But because I have breasts and they are quite large, someone might go, oh, she's got big
00:10:19.700
Am I putting my weight out there or am I just wearing clothes?
00:10:22.900
I mean, I would say you're putting your boobs out there.
00:10:28.200
I would say no, because I'm not built the same as you.
00:10:34.580
So, if you can't see my boobs and we can see yours.
00:10:37.540
But am I leading with my weight based on what I've put onto it?
00:10:40.060
I wouldn't say you're leading with your weight.
00:10:41.700
I'd say that, like, your boobs are very, like, they're owls.
00:10:45.280
Lizzo is way more sexualized than you are right now.
00:10:52.160
If you see a woman walking down the street in that top with your size breasts compared
00:10:57.200
to someone with a 32 AA, you are not going to look at that woman in the same way.
00:11:13.420
When I was in high school, I got kicked out of homecoming because I had, like, a day to
00:11:18.620
And I couldn't find one that fit me because I had just waited too long.
00:11:21.660
And so, it was way too short and they sent me home.
00:11:24.220
And I could have whined and been like, oh, poor me.
00:11:27.100
No, like, I waited until the last minute and that was the hand dealt.
00:11:30.760
But there's in regards to, like, you know, like what Sophie said.
00:11:36.900
So, Sophie said earlier, like, she just ignores guys that are, like, five foot, five
00:11:40.740
like, I'm the same way when I see a woman's A cup.
00:11:45.400
And they did a, they did a, they did a study too.
00:11:48.300
Like, the way women, like, disproportionately desire a man that is super tall.
00:11:55.660
Because, like, tall men are really, really short, a small percentage of the population.
00:12:00.040
That's the same way guys want women with big breasts.
00:12:04.420
Like, the big breasts, like, because they did a lot of data based upon men's preferences.
00:12:09.460
And then, like, the guys who are ordering sex dolls.
00:12:12.420
And the guys who are ordering sex dolls, the average breast size they wanted was American
00:12:23.980
I don't, this whole new ass thing, I'm not a bad.
00:12:33.280
People would call you misogynistic for that preference.
