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
- 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.
This has absolutely nothing to do with veganism.
- Correct. This is just clickbait. Veganism is a healthy diet choice. This person suffered from anorexia, but people love to dogpile on vegans.
- Care to elaborate?
  
  It’s someone not eating properly. The fact that they didn’t eat animal products is irrelevant. People get Ill and die while eating a shit non vegan diet too.
Can we ban The Sun, please?
The next Steve Jobs, everyone
A VEGAN influencer. Thanks for making that really clear.
- this has nothing to do with being vegan. please stop.
  
  If she starved or died due to complications from her diet, if she wasn’t able to stave off an infection for example or recover properly from an illness that would not affect an otherwise healthy individual - I would say her diet or nutrition lifestyle is germane to the situation.
  I believe that being vegan is a perfectly valid lifestyle and dietary choice but also people should be aware of some of the pitfalls.
  Can you please elaborate why you feel that being vegan has nothing to do with it?
  
  She was a vegan promoting vegan diet online. How does thay have ntohing to do with being a vegan? what?!
  
  It’s the Sun, what do people expect other than incendiary content that’s usually wrong? We should all take a leaf out of Liverpool’s book and have nothing to do with it.
  For people who aren’t from the UK we’re kind of the other way around to America, our TV and radio news is generally pretty well-adjusted on the whole but our tabloid press is straight up infotainment and this has carried over into the internet era.
I knew someone who became a fruitatarian. He moved to the Phillipines and only ate Durian (look it up). He was my first glimpse at the "spiritual" alt light pipeline.
- Only durian? What a fucking monster.
  
  Legit everyday posting videos of him slopping up a whole fruit. It was disgusting.
This is literal fake news.
- Well it's the SUN!
Anyone who dies of starvation was vegan at the end.
