Vegetarian Star

Veggie athletes are always proud trophies to display, as they refute one of the most common myths about what a vegetarian or vegan diet does to the body: makes it weak.

NBA player Salim Stoudamire has just signed a multi-year contract with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Stoudamire became vegan a couple of year ago. Apparently, he was a little chicken about doing so at first, but decided it was finally time to come out.

“I’ve always wanted to be one because of health, but I never wanted to go eat by myself or have people talk about me,” Stoudamire told myespn.go.com. “But I finally reached a point where I just didn’t care what other people thought, and I didn’t have a problem with eating alone.”

Besides, animals have mommas too.

“I don’t think you should eat something that had a mother. I don’t think that’s right.”

Well said.

Stoudamire played for the University of Arizona, where he led the team to the elite eight in 2005. While playing for the Atlanta Hawks, he averaged 8.0 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 157 games.

“Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, I think we can all agree that unspeakable suffering has occurred at the hands (flippers) of these sinister white snow devils. Most recently – in fact just now – they’ve been coined, ‘the white-fanged dispensers of death.’ Little is known of their feeding habits, although it’s widely speculated among seal clubbing spokespeople that human toddler brains are the preferred source of nutrition. And cod. As a counter measure, once a year Canadian hunters will selflessly enter an arena of unbridled peril. Broader dangers of the seal hunt include: accidentally clubbing one’s own shin, chapped lips, having to get up early, thirstiness, and the all too common: red snowball fight.”

—-Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, in a sarcastic piece he wrote in the Huffington Post on the Canadian Seal Hunt. Kudos to Ryan for shedding light on this situation. Although there’s nothing humorous about the seal hunt, at least Ryan’s post will spark attention and hopefully, incite others to take action.

When on the road or anytime between hand washing, it’s nice to have waterless sanitizer on hand.

But most brands of sanitizer contain unhealthy added ingredients that aren’t good for people or the environment. Not to mention made by companies that may have tested the product on animals.

Frais Luxury products has all natural, vegan hand sanitizers that are free of everything a veg who’s concerned about hygiene could ask for: parabens, propylene glycol, and other unnatural chemicals. And absolutely no animal testing. Plus, Frais is PETA certified as a cruelty-free vegan cosmetic company.

Reportedly, celebs like Carrie Underwood, Kelly Ripa, America Ferrera, and Britney Spears have all scrubbed their hands clean with Frais’ products and liked the results.

Using sugarcane alcohol as the main ingredient, Frais then adds all the smelly stuff like tangerine and ginger that will keep you sniffing yourself minutes after you apply.

Just try to avoid doing this for too long in public.
