        She was a vegan promoting vegan diet online. How does that ‘have nothing to do with being a vegan’? what?!

          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 don’t know that), she died of being an idiot, not a vegan.

        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.
