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.
