Olympic Judo Champ Ronda Rousey Going Vegan, Likes Fake Crab Meat
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 18th, 2008 in Athletes-Games-Sports.
Olympic Judo champion Ronda Rousey is going to try and kick butt vegan style. The first U.S. female to win a medal in Judo, Rousey was asked soon after winning what she was going to do next?
Disney World? World Peace? No, for now it’s just give up dairy.
“As of right now I am a vegan. I put that off until after I was done with this tournament.”
Martial arts toughness seems to run in the family, or at least the female side of it. Rousey’s mother, AnnMaria De Mars, is a former U.S. world champion judoka. A reporter asked her mother if a vegan lifestyle really jived with participating in an aggressive sport. “I mean, we’re tough but we don’t kill our opponents and eat them,” De Mars said.
One of Rousey’s favorite veg foods is imitation crab meat.
