In my experience, the ones who tell you unprompted that they’re vegan are usually relatively new to the diet and are more likely to be treating it as a short term fad diet than the more dedicated ethical vegans.
I’ve known people 10+ years vegan and they’re super healthy and active. So its really just that the fortifications in the US food system are targeted at non-vegans so you need to be more intentional about your diet as a vegan in the US.
Occasionally they would come in the restaurant I worked at looking all pale and ordering a bowl of leaves. No honey-mustard salad dressing for them :(.
I have never met a healthy vegan…and i live on the west coast and have met lots of vegans.
I have met lots and lots of meat-eaters who are unhealthy.

Anecdotal, no evidence. Did you get their health screenings? Did you have a baseline to compare it against?
Or are you just typing letters on an online forum?
I think you are.
