Kansas City Chief Gonzalez Goes Vegan

by

If you don’t believe me that smoothies and blenders are the quintessential kitchen staple fo every veg*n (and you meat consumers, too!), then perhaps you will listen to Kansas City Chiefs tight-end Tony Gonzalez. The 247-pound athlete has been vegan about one year now, and spoke with the Wall Street Journal this week about his diet, debacles with the team’s nutritionist (a former vegetarian who tried to convince him to eat meat), and his strength on his new diet.

Watch the video to learn some of Mr. Gonzalez’s favorite blended recipes.

    Living in KC and being a big Chief’s fan, I had heard that Gonzales had gone veg. Surprised me when I first heard about it, but I thought it was a good thing since I try to stick to a vegetarian diet myself. Of course after this season’s performance, I’m thinking of having a steak. (Just kidding, it wasn’t all Tony’s fault.) Nice video. The smoothie looks quite tasty.

    Interesting NYT article about meat and the effects of it on the planet.
