Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 74500357 United States 03/17/2017 02:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to time.com] Woman Trying to Prove ‘Vegans Can Do Anything’ Dies of Altitude Sickness on Mount Everest Melissa Chan May 23, 2016 An Australian woman who set out to climb Mount Everest to prove that “vegans can do anything” died Saturday after developing altitude sickness. Maria Strydom, 34, had reached the final camp from the summit before she and her husband, Robert Gropel, both began suffering from high-altitude pulmonary edema, which caused fluid to build up in Strydom’s brain, the Washington Post reports. Her husband survived and was taken to a Nepal hospital for treatment, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. “Physically he’s OK, we think,” Heinz Gropel, Robert’s father, told the Australian. “Mentally he is a mess. He’s just lost his wife. These guys were not amateurs, they were experienced climbers.” Two other people died on Everest, including 36-year-old Eric Arnold, who was part of the couple’s climbing party, and 25-year-old Phurba Sherpa, according to CNN. About 30 more climbers have become sick, frostbitten or both near the summit, the Associated Press reports. Last Edited by Account Deleted by User on 03/17/2017 05:49 PM |

What a kind and loving representation of the human spirit you are projecting. She's evil! God gave us all the animals and plants to eat and she's trying to prove God wrong! Fuck her! I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

While I applaud the woman for at least trying something, but I feel in the end she let her ego get the best of her and she paid a dear price for it. Oh well though. More foolish vegans where that nonsense came from. Conspiracy Theorist is nothing more than a derogatory title used to dismiss a critical thinker. A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us." -- St. Anthony The Great Social Credit Loser here. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74054406 United States 03/17/2017 03:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I kept seeing people at Whole Foods that looked pasty white and sickly, and finally realized they were vegans. It is well known that being a vegetarian even causes brain shrinkage. I think its sad that someone was so brainwashed that they'd try to climb Everest in such a weakened state, and to pay proper respect, I will eat 2 half pounders with bacon tonight. |
