    If she starved or died due to complications from her diet, if she wasn’t 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?

      Because the overwhelming majority of vegans aren’t eating nothing but fruit? Come on dude you can’t actually be this dense.

        Wow. Are you going to be ok? I’m not sure if you’re reading into my comment with some baggage.

        You’re absolutely right about fruit based - I casually wrapped vegan and fruit based together without realizing that she was practicing an extreme diet and it wasn’t indicative of a vegan diet.

        I suppose I’m not aware of how much grief you get from society or people to defend your choices.

        I’ll try not to comment on vegan topics anymore and I’m not sure what I said specifically to deserve such venom but I’ll do my best to not come across as a moron I guess.

        I didn’t obfuscate facts from the article. I wasn’t attempting to summarize the article. I was asking how her diet doesn’t 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 wasn’t sensitive to what must be your plight.

        Hope you feel better.
