Every vegan I know is very, very, sickly thin and they look like they are about to pass out from being malnourished.
What are they missing in their diet that gives them this appearance?
Also, they seem to be very moody. Is this a side effect of their diet?

Because most of them are malnourished. Few bother to learn the rules of proper nourishment so they are suffering from improper eating which makes them look that way. Many of them are not getting enough protein in their diets. Vegans don't eat meat so they have to find another way to replace the missing protein. One has to learn how to do food combining to make a complete protein, for example, when you combine corn and beans this makes a complete protein. Eating just one or the other leaves you with an improper diet. Rice and beans makes a complete protein, but they must be eaten together and alot of them don't bother to learn food combining this is why they are malnoursished. They have to eat enough nuts or whatever protein they choose like food combining, but it has to be equal to the missing meat protein or they are malnourished.

Maybe because they do not eat enough vitamin B and protein that come from meat. Not enough Vitamin B is bad for the nervous system and you can get depression. Also they can get anemia. Vegan people should do a lot of blood tests.

they are missing protien from their diets as well as iron.
most vegans who look this way dont or wont bother with taking supplements to boost those plus they are not recieving a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals. and yes not eating properly can cause magor mood swings.

I've never know that to be true. Maybe you just know a bunch of anorexics
