Struggle eating animal produce? Such a person would (6)

I believe the answer is:

veggie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a person would' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'struggle eating animal produce?' is the wordplay.
'struggle' becomes 'vie' (to vie is to struggle or contend with).
'eating' is an insertion indicator.
'animal produce?' becomes 'egg' (egg is a type of animal produce).
'vie' enclosing 'egg' is 'VEGGIE'.

'such' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for veggie that I've seen before include "I'm anti-meat" , "Eater of no animal products" , "Eater of fruits and grains and nuts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
