Food Blogger's Response To Online Troll Goes Viral: Watch

A video posted last November by an online food personality has since gone viral due to the author's statement against an internet troll who criticized her gray hair.

Rachel Farnsworth is a cookbook author, food blogger, and YouTube creator also known as "The Stay at Home Chef." On her site, she posts drool-worthy recipes — roasted parmesan pesto potatoes, maple pecan sticky buns, and pumpkin cheesecake thumbprint cookies. You can also find her on Facebook, where a heartfelt message she posted to an online bully has recently inspired many viewers.

In the video, Farnsworth reads the comment aloud: "You look like you're 70 with your gray hairs. You really should consider dyeing them for TV so you don't look like such an old hag. Just a suggestion."

The 31-year-old, whose hair would be described by any reasonable observer as brown, zooms in on a few strands of silver hair toward her scalp. "My husband feels very strongly that I shouldn't dye my hair, and his reasoning is that he wants us to grow old together," Farnsworth says in the video. She follows by explaining her rare autoimmune disease, which could take her life before her 70th birthday.

"Every sign of aging that I have is a sign that I'm still alive," she says with tears in her eyes. "A lot of people don't get the privilege to ever live to be old — and I probably won't either — which means that I don't have time to waste criticizing myself, and I don't have time to waste criticizing other people."

Farnsworth, who has over two million followers on her Facebook page, continues: "The world needs more people who will build each other up instead of tearing each other down. The world needs more men like my husband who are willing to encourage women, to embrace who they are. The world needs more women who are willing to rock their bodies exactly the way that God made them. Be that person."

The Stay at Home Chef's video was originally posted on her Facebook account where it has garnered over 15 million views. It has also been shared on Viral Thread, Now I've Seen Everything, Plaisir, George Takei, Upworthy, and many more accounts that have brought the video to over 90 million views. "You're gorgeous! Do not let anyone (even yourself) tell you any different," one user wrote among mass comments of encouragement. Many others open up about their own stories of struggling with self-acceptance and thank Farnsworth for sharing hers.
