You would have to eat such massive quantities of food to remain obese on a vegan diet that it's just implausible -- although I guess if somebody drank corn oil by the quart, they could stay fat. Possibly some people you have met who are claiming to be vegan are only part-time vegans who frequently cheat on ice-cream binges. I have met many, many people, who when they find out I'm a vegetarian, say, hey I'm a vegetarian, too, and then the next day I find them wolfing down dead birds from the KFC.
