Let's not go over board with a vegan diet

I would not refer to a fruit only diet as a vegan diet. Anyone who follows such a diet is bound to miss out on a lot of the necessary vitamins and minerals which can be derived from a variety of plant foods which include nuts, seeds , legumes, vegetables etc, etc,. She would definitely develop complications.

I have little patience with 'influencers' of any sort. Sometimes it seems that thinking for oneself is a lost art.

I saw this online yesterday . . . I never heard of her until then, but oh the photos alone say a lot. Eating only one kind of fruit can't be healthy, and I think, sadly, she proved that .

I don't even consider her a vegan. From how she was she seemed desperately mentally ill with an eating disorder that she used veganism as a cover and to refuse food avoid getting help. If you look at her Instagram, most of the content is old/reused interspersed with more recent stuff where you can see how emaciated she is. Even then there's people encouraging her saying she looks amazing when she clearly needs medical and psychiatric help. All "influencers" carefully curate their content and only show you what they want to show (sell) you. They should be viewed as entertainment as they're as fictional as Mickey Mouse.

Youve never heard of malnutrition killing anyone? Malnutrition and its complications kills up to 3.1 million children alone in a year...

Yes I have also tried to loose weight as I am really heavy compared to two years before. Sometimes I do follow the recipes of smoothies or shakes of some random influencers in instagram. But they never kept me full and I ended up just eating more favorite snacks to keep me full. This instead made me gain more weight. So no more influencers for me!

Dying at such a young age from malnutrition sounds extreme. I don't know how anyone can think that only eating one type of food would be a good idea. Sometimes I wonder how these influences become influencers

Fruit only diet is not equivalent to vegan diet which may include nuts, seeds and other plant-based foods. Even people who are on veggie diet needs to take multivitamins.
