asdfasfasfasfasDude, vegans can and do eat fruits. For people who can't afford seasonal fresh fruit, we have fortified foods like bread, pasta, rice, and cereals, most of which are also vegan. I specified rice and beans (and everything else you conveniently ignored, lol) because they make a complete protein, which is usually the only thing you need to monitor closely if you are vegan on a budget. Anything else and you are best off getting a multivitamin for best bang for your buck.
Also, you saying none of us have been hungry and then lecturing us about not getting both fruits AND vegetables when fresh fruit is one of the most expensive things in a grocery store, outside of meat that is? You clearly have never been poor enough that you have been needing to have your 'fruit' be the cheapest jar of grape jelly you can find, or the cans of frozen 'orange drink concentrate'.

asdfasfasfasfasLol now I know you're trolling. Have a good life.
Beans and rice aren't replacing the fruits and vegetables part. People eating meat-based diets are also eating fruits and vegetables, or if not, they aren't going be healthy either

asdfasfasfasfasThis is more or less just repeating the original claim without addressing any of the other points brought up. I am also confused why we're talking about bread now when that's perfectly plant-based?
