Well, it seems to me that vegans "can" eat raw beef for that matter; the material question is whether in interferes with their ideological purity (or, in some cases, their digestion). If the idea is to avoid exploiting animals, then presumably ones that died of old age or at least non-human agency are fair game, and thus, chalk be fine. Though once you make that decision, then I suppose there's no reason why vegans couldn't eat roadkill and anything else that's expired of natural causes, but I reckon you'd want the cause of death well documented, to say the very least.
There's a chalk and cheese joke in all this somewhere, but clearly, as someone who is callously willing to drink juices colored with cochineal, I'm unqualified to make it.
