    You missed an important part of the headline “is feared to have…”

    It says she caught a “cholera like” infection

      Yeah. It’s The Sun and they put ‘dies of starvation’ in quotes. They are presenting rumors as facts (again).

        Ah, thank you. Was very confused and I am relieved to find that eating food of any kind still does not cause the body to starve. Although honestly, in this damn timeline, i would just shrug at this point

          Except it does when you eat nothing but carbs and fiber with little to no fat and protein. You can be vegan all you want, but ignoring basic nutrition will always result in disaster.

              You can’t get all the nutrients needed from just fruit. This is fact. Just because some fruits may have some fats and proteins doesn’t mean they have enough to meet nutritional needs.

                  A major part of their “nutrients” point is fats and proteins, read the last reply again.

                  Just because some fruits may have some fats and proteins doesn’t mean they have enough to meet nutritional needs.

                In the article it says she eats sunflower seed sprouts. A cursory google search says these are a complete protein containing all the essential amino acids.

              It might be possible to live off fruit, but in the end, “food restriction resulting in significantly low body weight” is the definition of anorexia.

              I don’t claim to know if she put her health in a compromised state or not, but look at recent pictures.

      And

      Zhanna’s official cause of death has not been released yet, however.

      Additionally she does look anorexic on some pictures, both things have nothing to do with being vegan, people are just pushing their hate by usings someone misfortune.

      That could be deliberate to push a narrative against vegans.

        Yeah, 100%. Look at the other replies to my comment and you can see people getting sucked into that narrative…

        Ackshully… vegans don’t get all the essential nutrients to survive 🤡

        If any of those boneheads actually read the article, it says she was eating sunflower seed sprouts which are a complete protein.

        I think you’re right, there’s some of that, but there’s also a healthy dose of “shit on the obnoxious influencer” narrative going on here too.
