Sure, that may be the case with some, heck, perhaps even the majority of raw vegans. But to say that even those ones are consuming more fat than SAD eaters seems like quite a stretch to me. SAD eaters consume massive amounts of oil - deep fried stuff, cooking with oils, etc. - and crazy amounts of fats from animal products, pastries, desserts, etc., etc..
Take the diet of a high fat raw vegan and place it beside the diet of a SAD eater, and I think you'll find that the SAD eater trumps the vegan in fat consumption by a long shot.
In any case, we know high fat doesn't work, and we know that 80/10/10 is the ratio best suited for human beings. Let's get as many of our vegan friends onto 811 as we can!

But vegans can eat vegan junk food, so that would not apply.

SAD eaters eat tons of fat. Vegans, and by this here I mean RAW vegans, eat on average 65% fat and then they can't lose weight and heal. Fat is fat is fat is fat. This country is fat overloaded and carb-starved.
Best for you to focus on your own path to health, read 80/10/10 and do the program. Never mind about others.
Permalink Reply by KKG on I was just curious. I thought I had read an article stating that vegan eaters don't store fat like SAD eaters do. I wasn't sure if this was just due to eating less fat or if eating this way somehow changed your metabolism.
