Milwaukee Brewers baseball player Prince Fielder became a vegetarian last spring and took heat from fans telling him to eat steak and praise from those applauding him for veggie brats.

“Fans last year were yelling at me, ‘Hey Prince, eat a salad!’ This year they’re saying, ‘Eat a steak!’” he said in an interview with The New York Times.

Fielder thinks that tofu tastes like a “wet eraser,” and you won’t catch him raving about how he can’t wait to eat the next salad full of 20 different plant based items designed to make salad look and taste good.

“Yeah, I’m a vegetarian — but still, some things are just nasty,” he said. “I like salads. But sometimes, they get too creative. I like regular food, just no meat in it.”

Read the story to learn how Prince finally decided to give a dish with beets a try and what salad he actually did order that day.

Nicole Lapin

Nicole Lapin is a young journalist who anchors CNN.com Live and has appeared on CNN Headline News, CNN, and CNN International. She decided to go into the field after her parents banned her from watching coverage of the Gulf War because they thought it was too negative. What a way to rebel!

She attended Harvard University at only the age of 15 and eventually became valedictorian of her journalism class at Northwestern University.

She’s a vegan, but says no one would ever notice, as she’s not the picky type and can turn almost any situation into one that feeds her and suits the vegetarian lifestyle.

“I’m a vegan. But, no one believes it because when you’re out in the field, most of your meal options involve meat with a side of something fried. But, I’ve learned how to be creative and improvise and can eat anywhere — even a steak house or a gas station.”
