Also, I got asked about veganism at the gym today by a lady named Tanya, hoping she joins the forum soon. She saw my veganbodybuilding.com shirt and asked me all about getting adequate protein. ) told her all about Robert Cheeke, Tresize, and Sitko. She has been vegetarian for 6 months and wants this site to keep her fit and healthy on a vegan diet. Just a testimony for what wearing the shirts
Can do. Buy some, people!

Kane! I love what you said about wearing the shirts, and the impact that can have. I was working the VeganBodybuilding table at Seattle VegFest this weekend, and I told several people the same thing. Some people worry about not looking enough "like a bodybuilder" or fit enough to wear a shirt that advertises bodybuilding. While I can somewhat see their point, I also tell them that it's not necessarily about saying "Hey, look at me, I'm a vegan bodybuilder." But, it's about bringing awareness to the website and the concept that, yes, you can be vegan and extremely fit at the same time. It's about being a walking billboard for the website and hoping people will be curious enough to go check out the website and see the profiles, pictures, videos, and articles.

Anyhow, glad to see you putting that into practice, and thanks so much for your support!!

Hope you had a great weekend.

Karen
