[Trigger Warning: Discussion of eating disorders]

catastropheapostrophe replied to your post: What do you think about claims that veganism is ableist towards people with eating disorders?

I think what is also true is many people with EDs claim veganism as a way to restrict their intake under a cloak of ethics & morals when really they are further harming themselves.

Yeah, veganism can be used by some to attempt to hide their illness. That’s an important related point I should have added. Please do chip in, everyone: I’d love to hear your opinions.
