I've never met a healthy looking vegan... do they actually exist?

Question:

I don't mean vegetarians... I've seen vegetarians of all shapes and sizes. Some of them are really fit and healthy, others are sallow and boney and others are even obese. But vegans on the other hand, I've only met ones that were really skinny, pale and sickly looking. Despite their appearance they would insist that their diet was super healthy and superior to other diets... it just seems extreme to me. And if the vegan diet is so great why do vegans have to use so many supplements in order to get just basic nutrition?

Answers:
Unfortunately for human beings, our bodies evolved to be healthily supported off of a balance of meat and produce. We’re built to exist on a safe balance of both, so it is no wonder both vegetarians and vegans run the risk of malnutrition. A vegan diet can be beneficial to the participants if it is properly structured, but most vegans don’t choose their lifestyle because they think it’s truly “healthy”. Religious beliefs, environmental concerns and animal rights are the leading reasons for choosing the vegan lifestyle, and those who truly do understand what the lifestyle includes take supplements. I’m sure you took a multivitamin as a child, so what’s the difference? Vitamin B 12, calcium, and protein (deficient in vegan diets) are all available in pill form.
