Yah, more than likely the quickie surveys are behind the times, but anorexia questionnaires do have vegetarian/veganisn by itself, along with restrictiveness about calories. (Kind of like while in-depth evaluation of alcoholics includes exploring exact drink habits, the quick CAGE just has four questions). And if I hadn't see people do this: "No, I don't want to eat anything!" "why not?" "Because I've just become vegan!" "Okay, so what about some peanut butter toast or oatmeal or veggie burger or. . . " "No." (Yet ate pork rinds when her girlfriend visited four hours later)
Oh yeah, although I have opposite reaction than I feel more anorexics do - although I have been validated by my peers for my lack of partaking in whatever food because of my restriction, I do not feel glorified in skinniness - I pout and whine and want cake. In this circumstance, I don't feel like she was necessarily trying to utilize veganism to get people to stop convincing her of how eating is fun to do, I'm thinking it was more of the "Hey! vegans are supposed to have really low fat diets! I'll do that!" I'm guessing it is more attractive than atkins.
