Hi, Andrew, just for the record, my heart attack vegans, or HAV's, were both dedicated healthy eaters, no junk food allowed. I believe they did a pretty informed job of getting enough protein in their diets (hence my personal yeast warning) and I think most americans probably get way more protein than they need. Both guys seemed very fit to me. They both smelled a little funny, though. (I smell sweet, even though I eat beasts.)
I'll be a lot of vegans are committed to a healthier lifestyle, even aside from eliminating meat from their diets, than your average mcdonald's-scarfer. After reading Fast Food Nation and Supersize Me last year, I have permanently sworn off all fast food restaurants, and that has certainly had an effect on my own health.
