Agreed! This was my main gripe. The idea of it is cool and fun but when you don’t do it right, you look like an ass. I get wanting to try something new but damn, she never has the energy to do anything fully when it comes to fun things for the girls. It’s always half-assed. But y’all better believe she does things full-assed for herself.margoelisew wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 2:42 pmI liked the concept of the edible paint, too! A super cute & fun idea I just didn’t like how she kept reiterating over and over again how she half assed the whole thing and how she didn’t really have the energy to do it right, or blend it up enough, whatever. I get as a mom you probably don’t always have the energy to do everything your kids wants to, but either do something right or don’t do it at all.Aricat wrote:Idk man, I don’t like acacia but I thought the paint was fun lol.

I may be wrong but won’t it still spoil/rot since it wasn’t broken down in a boil process? Which of course she was supposed to do and was to lazy to do so. If you’re gonna be a ~cRunChy kEwL~ make your own shit type of mom, don’t be a lazy shit and cut corners. But for gods sake. Just buy your child some regular ass water color paints and stop forcing your kids to paint with their smoothies. What is so hard about it? The plastic container triggering you?

She could have blended them up more tho lol

Re: Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
I hope this means she's actually getting consistent help and not just going in for regular checkups. But also annoying that she was so ready to (and actually did) monetize off of a heart condition she thought Rosie would have but now that whatever Rosies condition means she won't be as "normal" as acacia originally thought she would she chooses that everything is "private". I mean its her life obviously do what you want but the fact that she's always so confused as to why people are so interested...like girl. this is something she could actually "be a light" in and help educate people rather than pretending she lives this happy Disney fairytale

Sometimes the comments that come off as rude or ignorant come from non-native speakers that mean well (there was one awhile back posted on opinion twitter that they all got really upset about with very broken english and I was like I think you guys are missing something) Idk about this one thoughMaeve wrote:

It pisses me off she gets so defensive about things being private, she posted about her pregnancy constantly and made content off of the heart condition, her fans were invested, and then she expects to say ‘it’s private’ but also to continue dropping subtle info and photos where she is clearly at a doctors office.
I don’t expect her to tell all, she has every right to be private, but to me, it seems she only talks about Rosie’s condition and development when it benefits her. I guess it keeps people interested in her, because we hope to get more info on Rosie.

This is so contradictory... *eats unwashed fruit*, it's fine we eat right off the bush! But also lectures to ALWAYS wash your fruit!! I don't get itPartysover wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 10:11 amScreenshot_20191203-130805_1.jpg
I don't think this was posted yet, so here's her reply to someone asking if they should wash their fruit (on her newest vlog). Lol at her "we eat them right off the bushes so it's OK!!"
Re: Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
I made this account literally to say it was me who asked about the washed fruit!!! I thought it was crazy they let Brinley dig right in I was hoping maybe they did at least a quick rinse before and just didn’t post it in the vlog. Also I know she’s lazy but it’s super dangerous to let any child under 4 to eat round fruit whole.Partysover wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 10:11 amScreenshot_20191203-130805_1.jpg

Re: Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
...maybe she thinks farmers spray fruit after it’s picked? We all know she doesn’t grow her own produce so I’m assuming that not unlike Pampas-gate, she just goes to someone else’s backyard and picks fruit off the bush.rainbowflora wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 5:39 amThis is so contradictory... *eats unwashed fruit*, it's fine we eat right off the bush!

Also I’m highly anticipating her accidentally poisoning herself or her family eating wild fruit and not knowing that just because it’s “natural” and “grows in nature” doesn’t mean you can just stick it in your mouth. Like that one influencer who did a cookbook using foraged mushrooms?

Re: Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
why the eff does she get so defensive of something she never talks about, she keeps 99% of rosie's health a mystery, so of course people are going to wonder!! she has not mentioned once (besides the whole heart appointment thing) anything about taking her to doctor's appointments or seeing specialists, she literally just shows roise laying on a floor with a rattle or sitting in a bumbo trying to shove food in her mouth.mermaid vic wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 4:52 pm

she has a right to privacy, but when you show a baby who clearly needs extra help and you never even show or talk about the baby getting the extra help it needs, of course viewers are going to worry about that baby! the better way to respond to comments/messages like that is simply "we choose to keep certain things regarding rosie's health private, but we are getting her the help she needs"
I can tell acacia is VERY defensive regarding anything to do with rosie and I'm assuming still hasn't fully accepted that she has a special needs daughter.

She actually is doing a full update on Rosie soon, wow. Jairus also looks like a meth head in the new video

Re: Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
So they switched pediatricians because the last one “didn’t seem to care”... interesting. You have a child with huge problems and you wait a year to realize that oh, maybe the doctor should be doing more. Rosie’s disability is getting more and more obvious, it’s about time they get their shit together.

Re: Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
A is 100% gonna be one of those ex-vegan youtubers that makes a whole video with Jairus talking about how sick their vegan diet made them. In their new vlog they admitted they ONLY EAT FRUITS AND VEGGIES! I'm vegetarian and I would never attempt that radical of a diet. They say they eat pasta on occasion? But as a vegan they could eat so much nutrient dense food with so many healthy pastas, rices, noodles, quinoas etc. They don't have any apparent protein source? They don't even eat tofu???? They say they eat the processed veggie meat and eating that more than on occasion is not healthy. I'm just rolling my eyes watching this. Also theres not a chance they supplement.
Re: Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
I agree...just be aware, the next vegan-versus-omnivore-discussion is rolling in and I need to stop that. Please, no +/- vegan comments after this one. Please. Very much appreciated, thanks.pipsqueak wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 12:33 pmA is 100% gonna be one of those ex-vegan youtubers that makes a whole video with Jairus talking about how sick their vegan diet made them.

Re: Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
It made me feel so sad when jairus showed Rosie laying on the floor watching Mickey mouse. She looked so sad. I just happy acacia is FINALLY figuring out that what she was doing for Rosie isn’t working.

Re: Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
So Acacia also is going on the raw vegan diet too? I'm worried they'll turn to pseudoscience next, as I've seen many of the raw vegans become antivax and overall anti-medicine.pipsqueak wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 12:33 pmA is 100% gonna be one of those ex-vegan youtubers that makes a whole video with Jairus talking about how sick their vegan diet made them.

Re: Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
She made a BIG mistake on her last IG caption (which has since been edited). I wish I screenshotted the original before she changed it. Something about fisherman vibes (because of an ugly hat) but without destroying the oceans ecosystem like commercial fishing does. She’s so damn ignorant, if only she would educate herself on any of these topics before posting.
She’s all of a sudden trying to pick a fight with fishing because it goes against her (nonexistent) veganism?!
Her stans are straight up attacking anybody who tries to say differently. Lol these teens really are crazy.

Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
Sounds like the new pediatrician is working well with Rosie and I’m so happy to hear that! I’m pleasantly surprised to hear her talk about incorporating Rosie’s diet into their life since it’s so different than theirs.
I’m looking forward to this “full update” video tbh

Re: Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
This! When she said that I was shook. I've been vegetarian for a while and so many people seem to jump into veganism thinking as long as it's natural and from the earth they'll get all the nutrients they need. Or get so defensive about "not getting all the nutrients they need" they don't listen to input on it even from fellow vegan/vegetarians. And assume raw is better, when it's completely unnecessary at best and nutrient deficient at worst.pipsqueak wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 12:33 pmA is 100% gonna be one of those ex-vegan youtubers that makes a whole video with Jairus talking about how sick their vegan diet made them.

I seriously can't stand the hippie version of vegans because they don't do their (REAL) research and go into it thinking it's all about connecting with the earth and following people like fullyrawkristina. But Acacia and Jairus have never struck me as being the type with much in the way of critical thinking or skepticism (even though Acacia claims she is like Hermione, a claim which made my eyes roll so far in my head I could see my brain). I can't speak for everything UnnaturalVegan has put out or said, but at least she tries to be conscious of necessary nutrients, doesn't determine what she eats by hippie BS, and isn't afraid to be critical of the vegan community when they're illogical. I seriously hope Acacia comes across UV's channel, especially since she's also a mom, and maybe reconsider the whole raw/just vegetables thing.
Acacia tweeted something months ago saying she couldn't believe people thought the sugar in fruit was bad because fruit being "natural" makes it good sugar. Fruit comes with vitamins, yes, but the sugar will always elicit a glycemic response. Which can over time lead to insulin resistance and a downward spiral in disease. The fact that it's from fruit doesn't change that. Natural isn't always better! You know what's all natural? Poinson Ivy. Why not eat it? Also, did you know all the fruits and vegetables are full of chemicals? That's because all matter is made of chemicals. Humans are *made* of chemicals. I feel like if you don't make the label on a product green or some other earth tone with a trendy font and put "natural" on it she's less likely to get it, and vice versa.

Re: Acacia Kersey: Monetize Depression to Fund Jairus’ Oppression
Acacia is literally in no position to preach about fishing and the ecosystem when she contributes to the issues CONSTANTLY by selling her merch, buying the RV-thing, making impulsive shopping decisions, etc. Obviously no one is perfect with sustainability and every change counts, but if you're going to attack other cultures/dietary needs and spread misinformation that "all fishing is bad" to your platform of 2million young people, you better step it up and practice what you preach.
I'm Japanese and have severe dietary restrictions where my only source of protein is through fish and other meats, I'm tired of her acting so high and mighty that she's "cruelty free" and blame other people for environmental issues and yet she has a leather mat hanging on her wall, is barely a vegan, and has abused animals for years. A lot of things that she does is annoying, but her latest Instagram caption shows how uneducated and ignorant she truly is.
(sorry end rant)
