Spellcheck must have taken me off Giro (The Italian Tour) without me noticing.

Don't get me wrong, my daughter is vegetarian and 90 per cent of my diet is too ( i know vegan and vegetarian are not 'quite' the same ) . Can anyone name a top Sports player who is either vegetarian or vegan?

Surely that’s a fake? Why on earth would anyone cycle around with that on their back? Might as well put a target circle instead. What a knobhead, evidently not long for this world!

Just finished game changers, good stuff. Clearly some over emphasised points (it is vegan propaganda after all, and that coming from a vegan) but dispels a lot of the myths we are taught as kids and as adults too, especially the whole 'meat is manly nonsense'. Would recommend watching. Probably won't convert a real naysayer but might persuade a few people to possibly make some small changes

 

[stewart12]

you can easily have a high protein and low fat diet as a vegan so no wonder a lot of athletes are going that way

The thing I’m stuck on is- these sports people e.g. Hamilton who have spent 20 plus years working on their fitness and physique- things which take years and years to build up, then go vegan and say ‘look at me I’m vegan- look what I can do.’

But you didn’t did you - if you were non-vegan the whole darn time you worked hard to get to your current condition?

Exactly they would all be failures if it was not for a previous weird obsession of eating badly reared animals.
