Malnourishment myths

shosho420

I was a vegetarian for 7 years. My two best friends are vegan. One has been vegan for about 12 years and the other about 5. They look amazing. I don't understand where all these malnourished vegans and vegetarians everyone is talking about are at? All of the vegans I know and have met have amazing hair/skin and are super fit and healthy. Now I did know this one girl who was a junk food vegetarian she ate pasta/cheese/fries/mayo and she was 300 pounds, BUT i feel like people see extremes like that as the "norm". When its not. The internet is filled with these outlandish horror stories that seem over exaggerated. I have met tones of vegans and vegetarians over the years and none of them have dropped dead from malnourishment, and NONE of them looked/look sickly.
