I hope the point of this thread wasn't missed. There are a lot of people who think that vegans or vegetarians can't be as strong and athletic as meat eaters. Such prejudice has been going around for a long time. So it's nice to be reminded that you don't have to eat a lot of animal protein to be strong and competitive. Thanks, Jimbo, for pointing this out.
Of course it goes without saying that a lot of athletes eat meat and other animal products. My best friend is an athlete and likes to eat lots of fast food. This should come as no surprise. But it's encouraging to know that more and more athletes are choosing to eat healthier foods.
