Raw Food Proponent Influencer may have starved to death.

[Zincwarrior]

A Vegan raw food proponent (in her case fruits and veggies only) who is a social media influencer.

Pretty self-explanatory.

This falls under the same category as "jogging health nut who recommends jogging for all dies of massive heart attack while jogging"

Sorry, more on the "raw food" thing. WTH is that? Uncooked corn?

I have a long time friend who is both a world class athlete and a vegan. She is VERY healthy. She also studied nutrition in university and is a licensed nutritionist.

How Vegan Olympic Ice Skater Meagan Duhamel Fuels For Training

While yes, it is true that Meagan is extremely talented, what also sets her apart is her dedication to a vegan lifestyle. The talented athlete went vegan in 2008 after reading the book 'Skinny Bitch' and proves time and time again that people don't need meat or milk or eggs to put on a...

Because she probably gets her protein and fats via things like nuts beans and other things.


This woman didn't. And sold her lifestyle as being healthy. And died because of it.

This woman took it further by going with only raw fruits and vegetables.

If she were still alive she ought to be prosecuted for promoting a fatal diet

The thing is the flex she is doing isn't showing healthy arm definition, it's showing a complete lack of fat as well as POOR muscle mass.

not everyone can be as fit as you, lardo.

I ain't fit. I'm also not starving myself and pretending I'm the pinnacle of health, like she was doing.

Anyone can have muscle definition if they’re anorexic. It’s definition that shows small, malnourished muscles, but still technically definition I guess

Like the old joke: a skinny guy with visible abs is about as impressive as a fat chick with big boobs

She didn't drink water for 6 years, according to numerous reports. The article in the OP didn't mention that. She clearly had some mental health issues, likely a very restrictive eating disorder. ANYONE who never drinks water and doesn't eat enough or get all their nutrients is going to eventually die. DUH.

It is either ignorant or dishonest to claim that this woman's death has ANYTHING to do with veganism or the legitimacy of a plantbased diet. There are millions of vegans who are the healthiest they've ever been, and living long, healthy, happy lives.

And at the same time, there are thousands of people daily who eat diets high in animal products who die of heart disease and clogged arteries, which numerous studies have shown over a long period of time is directly linked to a diet high in meat and animal products. But if we posted an article everytime a flesh eater dies, we'd have to post an article literally every 30 seconds.

And in case anyone actually believes that a plantbased diet is NOT healthy, you couldn't be more wrong... (to be clear, I'm not talk about a fruit only diet, but a whole foods plantbased diet)

Position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity.

The Mayo Clinic

A well-planned vegetarian diet (see context) can meet the needs of people of all ages, including children, teenagers, and pregnant or breast-feeding women. The key is to be aware of your nutritional needs so that you plan a diet that meets them.

Harvard Medical School

Traditionally, research into vegetarianism focused mainly on potential nutritional deficiencies, but in recent years, the pendulum has swung the other way, and studies are confirming the health benefits of meat-free eating. Nowadays, plant-based eating is recognized as not only nutritionally sufficient but also as a way to reduce the risk for many chronic illnesses.

Dietitians of Canada

A healthy vegan diet can meet all your nutrient needs at any stage of life including when you are pregnant, breastfeeding or for older adults.

British Dietetic Association

Well planned vegetarian diets (see context) can be nutritious and healthy. They are associated with lower risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, certain cancers and lower cholesterol levels. This could be because such diets are lower in saturated fat, contain fewer calories and more fiber and phytonutrients/phytochemicals (these can have protective properties) than non-vegetarian diets. (...) Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for all stages of life and have many benefits.

The British National Health Service

With good planning and an understanding of what makes up a healthy, balanced vegan diet, you can get all the nutrients your body needs.

The Dietitians Association of Australia

Vegan diets differ to other vegetarian diets in that no animal products are consumed or used. Despite these restrictions, with good planning it is still possible to obtain all the nutrients required for good health on a vegan diet.

She died because she only ate fruit. That would have killed her regardless of her water intake.

So, "no freedom of speech for you"
Next we need to stop McDonalds from advertising

I found this woman on TikTok. I never heard of her. She only had 820 followers on TikTok.

She's foreign and most of the comments are in a foreign language

The comments were mostly the usual nasty gloating over a dead woman who did nothing to them personally. These people make me sick.

Maybe I'll start posting every death of the morbidly obese who eat the typical American diet and die of cancer and heart disease and we'll compare.

One of her videos. Yeah she should have been banned for promoting food like this

Being this hardcore about what you eat requires you to supplement your diet to make sure you get all the basic nutrients, proteins, carbs and fats into your system. Evidently she didn't believe she had to.

Vegan raw foods influencer starved to death



This is to me a shining example of the left's ignorance of reality. They think something can work, and believe in almost a faith like way it will work regardless of evidence to the contrary, or in this case, actual, harmful outcomes of her belief structure.

She clearly had an eating disorder. In the 21st century, exotic diets--vegan, eating only certain fruits--is often a "cover" for the disorder.

At any rate--how sad.

I've never seen a more anorexic pair of arms.

Very, very ill woman. Her body had been eating her muscles for a long time. I suspect it then began to eat at the only muscle remaining--her heart.

it's showing a complete lack of fat

Which is also a sign of lots of brain shrinkage and likely damage. Dementia is a common effect.
