Why on earth is Veganism cited in this article as a restrictive diet? The only restriction is that your diet is healthy and based on compassion, a Vegan diet (which alone does not define who is or who is not a Vegan) is not restrictive at all, other then you choose not to add the flesh of slaughtered and abused animals or any output from their bodies which is usually coerced and doctored for maximum output, irrespective of the pain and discomfort to the animal, the production of milk involves tremendous suffering
She means that anorexics will segue into new restrictions that are seen as healthier in order to maintain their harmful mental habits and, more likely, escape scrutiny.
Yes, this, thanks. I don't think (or say) veganism is an eating disorder. I think some people who have not fully recovered from disordered eating move on to socially acceptable forms of restricted eating like veganism, extreme clean eating, religious fasting, and so on. Of course veganism involves restriction -- not of calories but of range of what one eats based on ethical considerations. For someone consciously or subconsciously seeking cover for disordered eating, this is appealing and can extend to other forms of restriction (quantity) as well. No need to pounce.

Thanks to Lysonder and Eliza, I stand corrected and seemed to have jumped in feet first, can be a bit defensive about Veganism sorry
No worries. Take care
