Prince Fielder Thinks Plain Tofu Tastes Like A Wet Eraser
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 21st, 2008 in Athletes-Games-Sports.
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.
