Leanne \u2018The Banana Girl\u2019 Ratcliffe has been creating content on YouTube for over a decade. The Australian influencer makes a living hawking her \u2018frugivore\u2019 diet and earthy lifestyle of \u2018living off the land\u2019 to her nearly 1 million combined subscribers. A \u2018frugivore\u2019 is different from someone who is vegan; the fruitarian diet consists mainly of raw fruits and other plant products like roots, nuts, shoots, and seeds. The Banana Girl often shares what she eats in a day, explains how she sustains her diet, and reacts to other influencers\u2019 diets. These particular videos have garnered Freelee a somewhat negative opinion online. Many of Freelee\u2019s diet reaction videos are filled with comments accusing the frugivore of unnecessary criticism and negativity toward those she\u2019s reacting to, which have even included the likes of Jenna Marbles in the past. Freelee\u2019s latest reaction video comes as a response to Jaclyn Hill, who, aside from her usual beauty content, has started to share recipes and cooking videos with her YouTube audience. In Freelee\u2019s video, the Banana Girl accuses Hill of having an \u201cincredibly unsafe\u201d diet, disgustedly pointing out the \u201cpig butt\u201d and \u201cocean cockroaches\u201d Jaclyn prepares as appetizers (read: bacon and crab). Freelee\u2019s criticisms aren\u2019t limited to just food; she also spends some time hitting out at Jacyln\u2019s outfit and nails, calling them \u201cunhygienic bacteria collectors.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re always going to have weight issues if you eat this way,\u201d Ratcliffe said. \u201cWe can tell you\u2019re still having weight issues because you\u2019re just dieting on and off, and you\u2019re binging out, and having these snacks, which are just fattening and unhealthy, bad for the environment and animals.\u201d Hill came across the video and decided to post her response via Twitter, where she hit back at the Banana Girl for her comments. \u201cI understand that people like her are very passionate about their beliefs &#038; lifestyle,\u201d she wrote. \u201cBut speaking on my weight, health, etc\u2026 is not okay! These are my \u2018guilty pleasure snacks,\u2019 not my everyday lifestyle.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jaclynhill\/status\/1410082085503700994 Jaclyn went on to explain that since she\u2019s gained weight, she\u2019s received \u201ca different level of hate\u201d that \u201cdeserves to have a light shined on it,\u201d and summed up her response with a poignant clapback: \u201cMy body is not your concern. Are you my DR?
