The Vegan Sportif
The hot topic of the moment in the realm of veganism is athletics. Every vegan bodybuilder, boxer, runner, and more is coming out to speak about they keep fit on a healthy, animal-free diet and lifestyle. The news coverage on these sporty men and women has been phenomenal! Here are some good ones to peruse for inspiration:
* On July 22, ESPN’s Page 2 featured Milwaukee Brewers’ Prince Fielder, Hall of Fame footballer Tony Gonzalez, fighter Mac Danzig, Minnesota Twins’ Pat Neshek, and marathon runner Scott Jurek in “Who says you have to eat meat to be a successful athlete?”
* We Like It Raw (as in a raw vegan diet) talked about Tim “the raw runner” VanOrden and his upcoming speaking events.
* The Vegan Soapbox had two good articles recently: One about being a vegan athlete in general titled “We Are All Guillermo Vargas.” The other highlighting Carl Lewis.
* In the June 12 issue of Aggressive Strength Magazine, article number six (you have to scroll down to it) was “UFC Fighter Mac Danzig’s Vegan Diet.”
* Not in the news, and not online, but in real life, I have been running into Jackie Amarosa, a vegan Philadelphia woman who runs marathons, races cars, and raises money for animals while doing so! Check out her First Giving fund-raiser page.
* For even more, check out Buzz Feed’s feature on vegan bodybuilding that includes links to six of the best articles and sites on the topic.
Now, aren’t you inspired to eat a fantastic vegan diet and exercise to your max potential?
