A VEGAN influencer is feared to have died of starvation after attempting to live on a fruit only diet. Zhanna Samsonova, 39, previously told how she spent four years eating and drinking just fruits…

      Any vegan with half a brain knows that you need more than just fruit to be healthy. Assuming her death by infection is a result of her diet (which is possible, but we don’t know that), she died of being an idiot, not a vegan.

      Because not all vegans eat the same restricted diet she was on. And not all vegans are anotexic, vegans do eat enough.

        But I guess this vegan did starve herself. I don’t even think the sun suggested all vegans diets are deadly.

          If they put it like that in the title, I see it like they are strongly implying it. Of course, I might be misreading it.

          Also calling someone who eats only five different plants vegan does not sound really truthful to me either.

      Her mother Vera Samsonova said she had caught a “cholera-like infection” just hours before she was due to fly home.

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

      The SUN: “SHE DIED OF VEGANISM!”
      Lemming: “How does this story have nothing to do with her being vegan?!?!”

      I see we’re already at Reddit type levels of idiocy.

        Let’s be honest, tho: you don’t know either as her cause of death has not been released. I agree, the other user jumped to conclusions, but you can’t say anything definitive as of now either.

          I never claimed to know her cause of death. But between “cholera” and “veganism” I’d rather bet on the former.

        So the story has nothing to do with veganism, is that the point your trying to make? Really unclear
