This is ridiculous. It's true that veganism just isn't for some people, but there are plenty of vegans who are healthy and feel great. If your veganism coincides with you being underweight and feeling weak/sick, then chances are your body isn't suited to the diet. Either that or you just aren't eating the right vegan foods. Personally, I've been vegan for over a year and vegetarian for over six years, and I've never felt better. I have lots of energy and feel very healthy. Eating diary products makes me feel lousy and run-down.
And I don't know how you can draw such a blunt connection between anorexia and veganism because I have known long-time vegans who are overweight.
Seriously, what a stupid thing to say.
