this has nothing to do with being vegan. please stop.
If she starved or died due to complications from her diet, if she wasnāt able to stave off an infection for example or recover properly from an illness that would not affect an otherwise healthy individual - I would say her diet or nutrition lifestyle is germane to the situation.
I believe that being vegan is a perfectly valid lifestyle and dietary choice but also people should be aware of some of the pitfalls.
Can you please elaborate why you feel that being vegan has nothing to do with it?

Wow. Are you going to be ok? Iām not sure if youāre reading into my comment with some baggage.
Youāre absolutely right about fruit based - I casually wrapped vegan and fruit based together without realizing that she was practicing an extreme diet and it wasnāt indicative of a vegan diet.
I suppose Iām not aware of how much grief you get from society or people to defend your choices.
Iāll try not to comment on vegan topics anymore and Iām not sure what I said specifically to deserve such venom but Iāll do my best to not come across as a moron I guess.
I didnāt obfuscate facts from the article. I wasnāt attempting to summarize the article. I was asking how her diet doesnāt account for issues stemming from her diet. But I see now what you mean that her being vegan and eating only fruit are two different things. I guess reading it casually I wasnāt sensitive to what must be your plight.
Hope you feel better.

Yes. I need to chill. Me. How much more face value can you get from the lede in the article? Maybe the title of the article I suppose. However as addressed by other comments the article in whole was probably in bad faith.
You donāt need to defend your life. I hope you donāt approach every exchange as an opportunity to fight. There must be a better way to communicate without being combative with each other. Surely not every interaction needs to be conflict? I wasnāt attacking you or veganism. I donāt know you and please donāt think you know me. I didnāt think my comment was antagonizing. If I was thatās entirely on me.
My wife and I were considering how to alter our diet. Our friend is a vegan and we were talking about it with him. Iāll stick to that. Iāll try to not be a dense mother fucker and I hope you are open to people surprising you with happiness and joy. Or not. Doesnāt matter to me.

I think it is. I think this applies to your life more than youād like to probably admit. I hope that you find joy and bliss and realize that the people in your life care about you and you donāt need to defend who you are to anyone.
I donāt know you and wasnāt looking to fight with you and after you called me a dense motherfucker for being - in your eyes - willfully repugnant I still care enough about you to see someone hurting. So if a stranger on the internet can reach out to you and hopes with all his being that you find solace then maybe the world doesnāt suck. Soā¦ yeah it is that deep. At least for me.

Because the overwhelming majority of vegans arenāt eating nothing but fruit? Come on dude you canāt actually be this dense.
Look Iām sorry. I thought I had phrased my comment in a nonthreatening and inclusive way. But I guess you are right and Iām a complete useless human moron.
Iāll not comment anymore then.
Please see also my response to the other non toxic vegan person for clarification.
It just occurred to me that this Vegan influencer was promoting a lifestyle that may be dangerous and we should discuss it but Iām a moron so Iāll go away.
This is a case like not all gun owners suck only some gun owners suck.
The article was unfair. Thatās a good discussion topic. Vegans arenāt all fruit people. Thatās also valid. The importance of diet and the impact on our earth - also valid and crucial. How I should behave as to not come across as a dense moron - Iām not sure interesting to anyone else but Iām willing to have a go if you both are.
She was a vegan promoting vegan diet online. How does thay have ntohing to do with being a vegan? what?!
The SUN: āSHE DIED OF VEGANISM!ā
Lemming: āHow does this story have nothing to do with her being vegan?!?!ā
I see weāre already at Reddit type levels of idiocy.
Letās be honest, tho: you donāt know either as her cause of death has not been released. I agree, the other user jumped to conclusions, but you canāt say anything definitive as of now either.
I never claimed to know her cause of death. But between ācholeraā and āveganismā Iād rather bet on the former.
So the story has nothing to do with veganism, is that the point your trying to make? Really unclear
Because not all vegans eat the same restricted diet she was on. And not all vegans are anotexic, vegans do eat enough.
But I guess this vegan did starve herself. I donāt even think the sun suggested all vegans diets are deadly.
If they put it like that in the title, I see it like they are strongly implying it. Of course, I might be misreading it.
Also calling someone who eats only five different plants vegan does not sound really truthful to me either.
Any vegan with half a brain knows that you need more than just fruit to be healthy. Assuming her death by infection is a result of her diet (which is possible, but we donāt know that), she died of being an idiot, not a vegan.
Itās the Sun, what do people expect other than incendiary content thatās usually wrong? We should all take a leaf out of Liverpoolās book and have nothing to do with it.
For people who arenāt from the UK weāre kind of the other way around to America, our TV and radio news is generally pretty well-adjusted on the whole but our tabloid press is straight up infotainment and this has carried over into the internet era.
