That sounds like the vegetarians I know. The vegans I know look like cancer patients.
- tired-turtle 3y agoVeganism can act as cover for disordered eating; perhaps that is what you have observed. Related, I know many “vegetarians” who are what I call effective vegans, meaning they eat vegan ~90% of the time, recognizing purity as a pointless pursuit.
- stametseater 3y agoAnecdotally, vegetarian seem to eat a lot of eggs, fish, etc. Yes I know fish is technically not vegetarian, but.. they call themselves vegetarian and certainly avoid other meats.
- foxyv 3y agoJust saying, my experience with vegans is very limited. For all you know, the vegans you know are, in fact, cancer patients. Cancer patients are much less rare than vegans after all. Not everyone tells the people around them.
