Yes this is due to an eating disorder. Not from just being vegan. I know many healthy long term vegans including my bf.

Wrong. Our anatomy is that of an herbivores. We just adapted to eating meat over time due to us discovering fire and being able to make our own tools to kill things w/because we can't with our bare hands like true carnivores and omnivores can. Meat clogs up our colons and causes heart disease and cancer, and casein from dairy clogs up our arteries w/plaque and helps cause diabetes and other ailments. All the top 10-15 killers in America are b/c of our animal based diets. Please research more and don't sound so stupid. We indeed are meant to forage and eat large amounts of plants daily and a wide variety of them.

@7thsluglord363 Wrong. When people use the eskimos as an example too, just know that they usually die early of heart disease. Most chronic illnesses in the U.S. are caused by our poor animal based diets. Please research.

That doesn't prove anything. Most people don't know how to fucking eat nutrition wise. You have to eat a wide variety of plant foods. He was deficient in something and I'm guessing didn't get regular blood work done or do more research on what he was missing from his diet. Meat doesn't provide ANYTHING new that plants can't. For things like iron and calcium, you need to eat leafy greens. Most people never eat enough of the things they need to. Meat is the lazy person's diet. My bf has been mostly whole foods vegan w/some processed vegan food here and there in this diet, and his bloodwork is perfect and he's very fit and healthy. He works out every other day and looks just fine and has plenty of natural energy.

@kelf114 All logical fallacies in your arguments, all of them. Do more research on nutrition and our bodies and how the top 10-15 killers of Americans are b/c of their animal product diets.

@Kededian Not true. The woman in this story did have some sort of mental problem and eating disorder, but I know plenty of healthy long term vegans who's blood work outshines any meat eaters'. Your friend wasn't getting enough of certain nutrients and that's on her and all of us to understand nutrition better. Schools don't teach us enough and Big Animal Ag wants to keep us addicted to these horrible "foods" which is just animal suffering in mass.

@puttervids472 hard fruits. We don't have the kind that can tear into flesh like carnivores and herbivores. Study the differences between true omnivores and us. There's many. We have all the traits of an herbivore, it's just we learned to cook w/fire and manipulate our environment more therefore we adapted to eating meat, but doesn't mean we were ever designed to.

She was anorexic. Don't blame plant based diets for her stupidity/mental illness.

Yes which means Go Vegan! She didn't do it in a smart way and had an eating disorder.

How can you tell if someone's a meat eater? Don't worry you'll see their fat gut or they'll die of heart disease eventually These jokes are so fucking lame.

@rachelrainer6190 No, but if you watch The Gamechangers you'll learn how vegan athletes have the edge.

@OldSaltyBear OMG who the fuck said we were supposed to eat grass like cows?? No, our main food source was always fruits and we can eat a variety of veggies too. Our anatomy is one of an herbivores. Just b/c we learned to use fire and adapted to eating meat doesn't mean we were meant to or that it's healthy for us as the top 10 killers in the U.S. are from our animal based diets.

@cowboyx9380 WRONG. Compare our teeth to that of real carnivores and omnivores. Ours are that of an herbivores for eating hard fruit. I hate these lazy low IQ arguments. Do a bit of research people - just a bit! Stop being so damn ignorant.

@zenithperigee7442 Yes and despite widespread ignorance on this subject, PROTEIN can be found in EVERY SINGLE FOOD, NOT JUST MEAT! Imagine that! But the Animal Ag industry has you convinced you can only find it in animal products! No, what you find in them is is cholesterol that you don't need, tons of fat, and no fiber or many other nutrients we need! We need fiber in our deits and are optimally designed to eat many kinds of plants for that, and to get all of the protein we need. Healthy fats that we need are found in nuts and avacados and the like. Fruit contains the real natural sugar our bodies need and when eaten whole, provide the fiber we need to slowly break it down.
1
@puttervids472 WRONG. Look at some top athletes who are vegan. Even some Olympic athletes are! There are vegan bodybuilders, all you have to do is an internet search. Watch the Gamechangers which proves how eating a more whole foods vegan diet gives athletes the edge over meat eating ones which put fat in their blood stream and make them feel more sluggish when working out.

Veganism in and of itself is a completely healthy lifestyle (whole foods vegan). This girl was STUPID and didn't eat enough. From what I read she was only eating 2 different kinds of fruits a day for years on end and obviously not enough of them even! She looks like she had an eating disorder. I know many healthy vegans and it is a sustainable lifestyle free from cruelty to animals. I hate that people use stupid idiots like her to try to prove people can't be vegans! She was mentally ill by how she was doing it. Everyone needs to have a variety of plant foods to get all of the different kinds of nutrients and fiber in our diets. And the sad reality is if everyone continues eating meat at the rate most Americans do, we're always going to have hellish factory farms, and if you follow what the industry has done, they've been pushing out the small family farms that at least treated the animals well in their early stages of life, even though slaughter is always horrifically terrifying for these animals.

She must've been anorexic. Don't attribute her stupidity of not eating enough to veganism as I know plenty of healthy long term vegans who never get sickly like her and have amazing blood test results every year, way better than any meat eater's I know.
1
No we are not. We are designed as herbivores, period. And w/the amount of people on this earth consuming meat at the rate Americans are, the animals are doomed to live short hellish lives on earth just to satisfy our tastebuds when we could be creating more food for people in the same amount of land space and use less resources including water to process it.

No if you read the articles about it her friends told her to get help, and she had an eating disorder. This isn't due to veganism.
