Being this hardcore about what you eat requires you to supplement your diet to make sure you get all the basic nutrients, proteins, carbs and fats into your system. Evidently she didn't believe she had to.

This is to me a shining example of the left's ignorance of reality. They think something can work, and believe in almost a faith like way it will work regardless of evidence to the contrary, or in this case, actual, harmful outcomes of her belief structure.

I am not going to make fun of her, despite her obviously kooky ideas that make the average vegan look normal. Once you get into a mode where you can truly believe that eating only raw fruits, as apparently Zhanna D’art did, you have moved from the realm of exotic theories of nutrition into the realm of obsession and mental illness.
If anything this is more a story about how social media can magnify mental illness by reinforcing it. There is nothing inherently ridiculous about the idea that a 100% plant-based diet could be healthy, even if it is a lot more difficult to get all the nutrition you need. Everything I have ever read suggests that people who choose a wholly plant-based diet need to be very careful to balance their nutrition.
