It’s someone not eating properly. The fact that they didn’t eat animal products is irrelevant. People get Ill and die while eating a shit non vegan diet too.

How much fruit do you have to eat to get a proper amount of proteins per day?

Vegans just need to eat a shit load of beans and peas

[–] Mindlight 3 points 1 year ago

Let's say that the recommended daily intake of proteins for average Joe is about 56g and that kidney beans holds 8.6g protein per 100g...

660g of beans per day is a lot of beans. A LOT.

If Joe ever gets tired of beans he can always with over to 500g wholegrain buckwheat per day.

Regarding if the woman was a vegan or not..

Wikipedia Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal product — particular in diet — and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. An individual that follows the diet or philosophy is known as a vegan.

She didn't eat any animal product so that pretty much confirms that she was a vegan.

However, she being a vegan doesn't mean that she was a healthy vegan or smart vegan.

Veganism isn't necessarily an unhealthy diet. Like any diet, it CAN be (though I would argue that on average it is easier to eat healthfully on a vegan diet).

Regardless, this woman clearly had an eating disorder. What sort of diet she consumed matters far, far less than the disorder eating itself.

Still doesn't change the fact that she was a vegan.

(And just to be annoying: I would say that's it easier to be unhealthy as an omnivore... More options to clog your arteries 😁)

That is what I said. It's easier to eat healthfully if you're vegan, I assume. But, you could be a vegan and eating peanut oil fries heavy on the salt all day every day too. That just seems unlikely lol
