If there are people who eat four Big Macs a week, they might likely are on a social level far below the enlightened level of the vegan. They cannot, on one hand, afford the expense, time and effort of the vegan diet that the vegan professes, while at the same time, the vegan sets themselves up as intellectually more aware of good food vs. bad food, all while giving bad examples of the bad food such as 4X Big Macs a week. Soon begins the talking down of one social class to another who is already entrenched with unsolicited advice from people who "think" they know better.
But I'm willing to listen. Find out who in the Tour de France right now has an exclusively vegan diet, and then, with the knowledge the T de F is the most grueling sporting event in the world, I will listen to whatever advice you, as a vegan, might have.

the 4X was just an exxageration to make a point. I didn't mean it literal.
Also, vegan is not a function of class. I don't know why you would like to make a connection. You can be poor, rich, white, black , asian or hispanic. Living a vegan lifestyle actually costs less money than eating meat. Have you seen the price of meat lately??
