You'd be surprised, first of all, JUST how many nutrients are in butter (Depending on brand, and as long as it is BUTTER, not margarine). Second of all, "raw" flour tortillas is just tortillas lol. "Raw" would imply dough, usually, and I doubt she was eating buttery dough. Flour, also, has a TON of nutrients in it. As they are made with salt, flour, and water, they are also surprisingly nutritious. You get sodium, a good source of carbs, a decent source of protein, and low fats that are made up for with the butter. All in all, actually a decently round source of nutrition, all things considered. I wouldn't recommend it, but it's not actually that sparse. :D
She is just such a weird person. Someone in a comment thread said the perfect quote. They said "she lives everyday of her life like it's a PowerPoint presentation she didn't prepare for".
I am OBSESSED with your hair. As soon as i turned this on i thought, “yeah, i should cut more layers in my hair” and immediately started chopping hair off🫠. Love this new look🥰😍
Just saying, so glad your doing so many different food things, I always get excited to see what new thing your trying. 🥰🥰 Watching your videos has helped changed my mind entirely on vegan food and it's the reason why I eat way more vegetables than meat, it's still been hard to go all the way. 🥰 But we're trying. I hope life is treating you amazing!!
Would love to see a video of all soft foods. I've been vegan for 16 years. But I have arthritis in my jaw and can't really eat stuff like salad (which i crave often) or anything you've got to bite into (i miss burritos!) Some days it's just hummus with a spoon. It's getting difficult. I bet you could come up with some good ideas 💡
I just did imitation crab salad, w soft tofu instead of mayo. Bet w vegan scrambled eggs u could do egg salad as an option. Soft tofu w jam/ a softer fruit could be a version of yogurt w fruit. Devin Lytle has a video where she explores soft food for her mom. Don't think it's vegan, but might be a jumping off point for ideas
I got a really powerful stick blender to help with digestive issues (a little different, but somewhat similar problem of needing food to be broken down more). Using it for bean dips, thick and creamy pureed vegetable soups, applesauce etc. has been great.
Had this issue (due to a fight) vegan as well. Just have a little rest with your jaw, exclude all chemicals, get all the essential nutrients, especially sufficient vitamin D and have some good sleep solves it rapedly. Try it.
I kind of understand the butter toast. I had times where I would eat almost a whole loaf of bread cuz toast was so yummy and safe. But _that_ much butter?? My tummy would explode
Haven't finished the video yet. Just wanted to say, like.... 7-8 years ago my fav thing was Kashi fiber cereal + PB powder. I was ahead for the time lol. But yes! Reeses pufffffffs!
merle i assume if you did a deep dive on grimes's lore you know about the time she and a friend tried to sail down the mississippi river on a houseboat?
Fun video, never heard of Grimes before this. Another interesting video idea would be beginners' vegan food, like snacks and other cereals. Slowly going to be eating more vegan for health reasons and need some ideas. Thanks :)
She is a singing legend in her own mind, lol, a one time girl friend of elon musk, had a three kids with him, broke up and moved on, her real name is Claire Boucher, but check out her poor kid's names........
Was not prepared for the use of the word “smegma” whilst eating a drunken style vegan just egg breakfast quesadilla. ALMOST killed my appetite. Keyword…almost.
Cereal/muesli is such a common breakfast in Germany, it's funny seeing Americans finding it kinda strange. 😅 Recently at uni an American lecturer asked us to say our names and what we had for breakfast in an introduction round and a lot of people said muesli. He was also like "what? Isn't that like bird food?" 😂
if youd like to try a version of grains veggies and mayo that tastes good actually, make mujadara and eat with with tomatoes, cucumbers, hot sauce, and mayo mixed with raw garlic and lemon. thats what the sludge reminded me of, but unlike the sludge was for you, it is delicious lol
My favourite cereal is the chocolate peanut butter Leapin Leamurs cereal. It’s tasty and it’s usually in the health food section of my supermarket. Hack!
love how your hair looks in the beginning! kind of a shag? not sure if i just didn't notice before. if you commit more it would look great on you! (also thank you for the grimes ~wellness tour~)
I basically have that breakfast, but with muesli, grapefruit and golden kiwi with banana and frozen cherries, then add a scoop of neutral protein to the peanut butter milk, and sometimes some carob. yum.
las glorias del buen comer on silver lake blvd had the BEST veg burrito in town. they werent even a veg spot but they were FAMOUS for it. unfortunately they closed :( fortified bran cereal is delicious idgaf
@@MerleONeal I thought it was a really nasty thing to do and say, picking on her like that for who she chose to have kids with, no matter if you like him or not…and “question her intelligence”. It’s her choice and those are children, regardless of how you feel about it, it’s not your place to question their existence and parentage, their names….which aren’t their real names anyway. Imagine how you’d feel if someone bashed your choice of man, especially cause you’re a “vegan youtuber” but Aria eats meat and as such, he supports factory farming. Not cool.
I love these videos! I'd love to see you veganise a celebrity 'what I eat in a day' that isn't vegan - would be fun and also great meal inspo for people switching to a vegan diet :)
I went vegan a little while ago for health reason. It’s not nearly as hard as I heard it was nor is there any deprivation of nutrients. My doctor told me, and this is an exact quote, “I’m gonna save your life with two words. Go vegan.” It’s been 6 months and yes, I miss meat and dairy, but not as much as I don’t miss the 30 pounds I lost or the fact that I’m not sick every day or at all, really. Another weird side effect. My farts are way less stinky. So is my body odor. What the heck?! Meat does THAT?! I’ve always needed prescription strength deodorant. Now? Basic suave for me, please. So much less expensive. Vegan isn’t hard, there’s plenty of protein that isn’t meat, and as long as you pay attention to your body and eat enough then you’ll never be nutrient deprived. I will eat meat again. But I’m now vegan and will consider eating meat and dairy the way that I’m supposed to. With caution.
I'm guessing she invented the sludge trying to make a quick pasta salad type dish to satisfy a craving. Let's be honest, we all have a dish of shame. Also I think you should cover that... trying my subscribers weird guilty shame foods 😂
I feel like you sort of ignored the fact that this was her PREGNANCY diet. People be cravin' weird shit when they are pregnant that they wouldn't normal think to eat. (I know you mentioned it a little bit)
I agree 100% on your cereal take. Flavor is fine. But I WILL SAY… I’ve been eating joe’s o’s from Trader Joe’s lately because one serving has 8.1MG OF IRON?! Idk if y’all vegans can relate but I struggle to get enough iron in my diet soooo joe’s o’s have changed the game for me 😂 Also hemp seeds 🤓
Probably a very controversial opinion but I honestly cannot stand soggy cereal😂 That's why I love me some fiber cereal, because it stays crunchy for longer
The queen has uploaded. I guess studying can stop for a minute
😈
Yessss
or 45 minutes…
@@larissa-hemr totally
If you watch it on 2x speed it doesn’t count as wasting study-time🤓
I once lived with a girl who only ate butter smeared on raw flour tortillas. Idk how she was alive.
It’s truly amazing how long the human body will keep going while we trash it. And then one day…. It all catches up!
I’m Mexican and my mom used to give us that as a treat with freshly made flour tortillas 😂
butter on warmed tortillas goes hard tho
@@jessicahinojosa4367it's a Mexican thing but raw? 😂 Nope

Don't even know who's Grimes
But it's a Merle video
That's the imprtant
🥹
Right! Even tho I had to Google who Grimes was.. I was exited for the video 😆
Same! Lmao
You forgot that weird caffeine cube she uses to reboot her system every morning 😂
the bread-less sandwich is a sa-lad
😂
Strange how I didn't get a taste of the burrito!!!
Did you at least get to try the sludge? 😅
as if i could get him anywhere near it😂
She is just such a weird person. Someone in a comment thread said the perfect quote. They said "she lives everyday of her life like it's a PowerPoint presentation she didn't prepare for".
hahahaha very well said
"You're probably queer, and you're definitely vegan" Heck yeah 💥🌈🥦
I am OBSESSED with your hair. As soon as i turned this on i thought, “yeah, i should cut more layers in my hair” and immediately started chopping hair off🫠. Love this new look🥰😍

This warms my heart! I'm honored to be part of the journey
🤣 I'm dying over your geriatric cereal comment. My favorite cereal is grape nuts 🫣
Mine too!
Haha me too!
I like that or Cracklin oat bran 😂
I love adding fruit and protein powder to my cereal. The powdered peanut butter is a great idea!
i didnt know there were people who never ate cereal
The local Mexican restaurants that are authentic have zucchini and squash in their veggie buritos, veggie fajitas, and so on.
calabacitas!

And sometimes the butter will take too long to soften if you have to keep it in the fridgelikr me.
Microwave 10 seconds. Perfect.
How about Joaquin Pheonix....He likes to cook:))))💚💚💚
great idea!
The video we didnt know we needed😂❤
TRULY - I grew as a person through this video lmfao
I love the fact that Grimes is Canadian tops the list of crazy facts about here 😂 love you Merle
LMAO
I've only seen Grimes on your channel so...Fun concept! That cereal with fruit and pb powder sounds like a serious win.
You’re a great storyteller, Merle
I truly appreciate that
Love the bangs and fringe, Merle!
Haven't finished the video yet. Just wanted to say, like.... 7-8 years ago my fav thing was Kashi fiber cereal + PB powder. I was ahead for the time lol. But yes! Reeses pufffffffs!
A true pioneer!!
"fairly geriatric option...", i love how even though you probably meant to say generic, geriatric actually still works 😭
I meant geriatric! but generic does work in relation to her other choices 👽
That’s a geriatric breakfast 😂. I’m sure a lot of older people in their 70’s have that for breakfast.
I thought she meant geriatric because it's fortified cereal
unpopular opinion but i LOVE the hamster pellets and also genuinely cackled when you called it that 😂😂 stays pretty crunchy in a little parfait!
Grimes: Rips off Cocteau Twins and gets away with it. Sad. 😢
the shadow in the microwave at 9:25 looks demonic 😭
I’m sorry, gelatinous *what* 😟
El Cocinero really is the best!
no doubt about it!
Tomato interiors are like smegma? Wow.
7:07 I couldn't stop laugh after you said "hampster pellets."
You should do a collab cooking video with Andrew Lowe
I like cheerios. I use them for a snack. I like the cinnamon apple one.
merle i assume if you did a deep dive on grimes's lore you know about the time she and a friend tried to sail down the mississippi river on a houseboat?
YESSS
I legit had no idea why she was “famous.” I’d never heard of her until she dated said unnamed billionaire megalomaniac.
Ngl, the sludge is not far from the leftover quinoa concoction I made for breakfast earlier this week...
The peanut butter powder in the milk idea is a frkn game changer omg
Right!?!?!?!?!

if you're on the Starve the Rich train, Cascadian Farms is a trademark of General Mills.
Maybe the sludge needed PB2 powder!! 😂😂😂
LMAO perhaps there's nothing that pb powder can't fix!
Reese’s Puffs and Berry Berry Kicks were THE cereals. Your taste is impeccable!
Also this whole video was such a journey. Ty for taking me on this venture
Jusi I just know we would have been besties as children
Oh absolutely
I already suggested Billie Ellish what i eat in a day, but also~~~
Vegan chip ranking!!!!
I've been trying to tracking down her "what I eat in a day" article/ video but I haven't found one yet
@@MerleONeal well we've found out what she has for lunch but I don't think you can put that on youtube....
My favourite cereal is the chocolate peanut butter Leapin Leamurs cereal. It’s tasty and it’s usually in the health food section of my supermarket. Hack!
You didn't use enough butter though lmao I made fried toast with practically a half butter stick after seeing her video and it was amazing!
Pan fried . Not like, a pot of oil lol
love how your hair looks in the beginning! kind of a shag? not sure if i just didn't notice before. if you commit more it would look great on you! (also thank you for the grimes ~wellness tour~)

fortified bran cereal is delicious idgaf
I am just mad at the names of her children.
understandable
@@MerleONeal I thought it was a really nasty thing to do and say, picking on her like that for who she chose to have kids with, no matter if you like him or not…and “question her intelligence”.

"its like gelatinous smegma" Do Americans have a different meaning word smegma? Because that is not a word I would use to describe something lmao
I'll leave that as a mystery
It's exactly what you think it means here in America. The same thing where you're from
You should add hemp seeds to your stuff for extra protein
Hamster bedding and food😂😂
rubitron!
that looks like food for life bread if ive ever seen it haha you said ezekeil i knew it

Hey Merle, I’ve seen some vegan caviar videos. Would love to see your take!
She should just make guacamole lol
lmfao you tell her rubes
are you and aria not doing the podcast anymore? i miss it 😭
Eating like me would be easy and cheap. Pasta lost of pasta
fucking love these videos
im SO glad
Yesss I love El Cocinero!!! Best vegan Mexican food in LA.
100000%
CEREAL CROUTONS LMAOOOO
Best girl Merle
Ahhh...so it's my Libra brain that makes me like this...Sweet. At least I know im not alone lol
We all need something to blame
@@MerleONeal 😆
A video idea I had that I don’t know if it’s possible to make but what if you made some different foods from Studio Ghibli films but made them vegan.
I do eat avocado and tomatoes (sliced with a fork) for snack 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I'm guessing she invented the sludge trying to make a quick pasta salad type dish to satisfy a craving. Let's be honest, we all have a dish of shame. Also I think you should cover that... trying my subscribers weird guilty shame foods 😂
Isn’t most cereal fortified? It is the UK.
We add a lot of spices to couscous. This was sad
take it up with Grimes!
Should we be surprised that someone named Grimes is eating sludge? Seems entirely fitting.
True question. How are NFT's bad for the environment?
So she'll completely saturate a slice of bread in butter but no bread for the "sandwich," sure ok
I feel like you sort of ignored the fact that this was her PREGNANCY diet. People be cravin' weird shit when they are pregnant that they wouldn't normal think to eat. (I know you mentioned it a little bit)
Im intrigued by her too! I wonder where she met Elon... its her own Grimes world, I spose. 😂
I agree 100% on your cereal take. Flavor is fine. But I WILL SAY… I’ve been eating joe’s o’s from Trader Joe’s lately because one serving has 8.1MG OF IRON?! Idk if y’all vegans can relate but I struggle to get enough iron in my diet soooo joe’s o’s have changed the game for me 😂 Also hemp seeds 🤓
Non heme Iron and vitamin C or A go together like turmeric and black pepper if ya catch my drift
How come everyone thinks Grimes is so smart? Is there something I'm missing because her interviews she seems dense and not all that bright.
I don’t even know who she is. People should take time away from the social media sometimes.
CZcams captions transcribed it as RACIST Puffs lol
Is THAT why you named your old cat Reese? (RIP)
2:43 How did Musky land Grimes? Especially with the age gap? He's gotta be an incubus or sorcerer or something.
Why would she do butter-soaked toast with jam and not even do dry toast with the tomatocado?
GREAT question
BALANCE
I miss Grimes the musician. Her videos are so creative.
I love vegenaise and the sludge looks awful to me. I mean I guess it’s just pasta salad but still.
yeah it crosses a certain line... lmao
Probably a very controversial opinion but I honestly cannot stand soggy cereal😂 That's why I love me some fiber cereal, because it stays crunchy for longer
I have no clue who she is 😂
The amount of vegannaise in the dinner is probably what makes it so nasty. Cous cous with veggies is fine but with mayo?? Nahhhh
Two things shocked me in this video. One, you don't eat cereal. And two, you said smegma.
I like to keep ya on your toes
Well grimes has always been an interesting one I suppose
no doubt about it
nice
Don't know why but you remind me of the weasley twins 😂
Elon Musk is deeply awful, but narcissists are always so charming and convincing at first. Remember that, everyone!
Merle tries different foods
Rich in protein
She gets protein and food
We get more content 😁😁😁
win win win win win!!!
thats just how obese people butter toast (im obese)
