Would you be able to give examples of healthier behaviors that vegans and vegetarians perform that the general population does not?
If one made their choice to abstain from meat for ethical reasons and not health reasons I'm not sure their lifestyle would be drastically different from their counterparts, then again I'm not sure what particular behavior patterns you are referring to which could throw off studies.
since vegan fare is pretty limited, i think the first thing is that vegans don't eat nearly as much fast food. they probably eat out less overall. which is going to require a lifestyle that carves out time at home to cook or meal prep.
You do realize you're not obligated to respond to comments, right? If you don't know what you're talking about, you're allowed, encouraged even, to not respond.
am i wrong?
Yes. A number of vegans excel at endurance sports and they do that be eating and drinking boatloads of calories.
