Humans are Omnivores, end of. What possesses people to buy into this Vegan etc type BS?

I read it as 'death by not seeking medical help'.

Sometimes folk can't be saved from themselves.

Humans are Omnivores, end of.

I agree, as sad as the story is... we have evovled to be so.

I think some people can successfully survive on a vegan diet. Some Rastas tend to be vegan, Ital. 

It's a lot of work, but can be done with a lot of research and knowledge. If you just stop eating meat and dairy without supplementing, then you can end up ill.

It's not for me, though.

I thought "not another one" but it turns out it's the same case that was in the news several months ago. I concur with douglas.

TTT if you dropped dead tomorrow, I wouldn't crow about it on this site.

End of.

Why do you despise everyone who isn't TTT or BJ?

The cause of death has yet to be established but she wasn't eating a vegan diet, she was eating a very restricted raw vegan diet.

My daughter and her family have been vegan for many years, they both have very physical outdoor jobs and my 4 year old grandson is best described as 'stocky', not fat.  He is a very healthy, active outdoor child. 

As with any type of diet, the food choices can be healthy or unheathy.   Some omnivores die young because of their bad diet, too.

Humans are not vegetarian nor vegan, they cannot become such without a lot of effort, supplimentation etc. If they choose to embrace it and do a good job then great but you cannot just declare "I'm a (raw) vegan" and expect to live on a few seeds and fruit smoothies. Where as I have sympathy with the "death by not seeking medical help" camp. In the end it's death by stupidity for assuming a human can live on what she was eating.
