Thanks for taking the time to write this up, I enjoyed reading it.
Most of the Veg*ns I know are over weight to some degree, for various reasons. They have differing levels of health as well. What it comes down to is: they are human beings showing the wide range of body size and health states that is normal for human beings to have. I hate the magical thinking that some sort of restrictive diet will magically make the person following it noble, good, healthy, slender, etc. It's really destructive.
