Famous Veggies

You know the running back for the Miami Dolphins, Ricky Williams, is either vegetarian or vegan. He had a pretty good year too. He wasn't on either of the lists.

 

There's a lot of these lists online that aren't very trustworthy though. Carl Lewis is no longer vegan for example, although he was for a few years while competing. He said it was great for his training but he doesn't train now and has no interest in the ethics apparently.

What do know about Carl Lewis? I tried to contact him a couple of times but I've come up empty handed. He was my favorite athlete growing up and I was soooooooo pumped when I heard he was vegan. I'm just trying to get in touch with him via e-mail or phone to talk to him about it.

 

Yeah, some lists our incomplete or outdated. I'll try to come up with my own soon and post it on the main site.

 

Thanks Jay,

Ya, why concern oneself with the torture and execution of millions of innocent beings? Uuugggghhh what a sad and ing story. As Richard said in the chatroom, "the premise of stupid selfishness!!!"

Just what I've found online. He never mentions anything about veganism (that I've found) other than health aspects.
