  BBC is such trash…

  B12 deficiency is what they are claiming led to her death

    Yeah that headline reeks of trying to ragebait anti-vegan types.

    It’s a descriptive headline. Not their fault if some people are so addled by social media that they mistake it for rafe bait.

      It’s more descriptive than “Woman died after living made her delusional”.

      It’s less descriptive than “Woman died after a vitamin B12 deficiency made her delusional”

      I’m pretty sure it’s intentionally vague and misleading to trigger engagement around a divisive topic.

      I wonder if there is a term for that.

  Let’s correct the headline to poor eating habits/diet led to vitamin B12 deficiency, causing delusions.

  Because I haven’t eaten meat in 35 years, and haven’t had any dairy, eggs, etc (vegan) in at least 5 years, and my B12 is fine.

    Exactly. One of the first things you learn when you switch to a plant based diet is to be mindful you’re getting enough B12 and D.

    My B12 was fine, whereas my omni family had low levels and my grandma needed injections due to her age. My D was low, but my omni family had very low levels. Bad diets are bad diets, whether they include animal products or not.
