Veg Man Salim Stoudamire Signs With Milwaukee Bucks
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 5th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports.
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.

Sweeet! Let’s hope he doesn’t do anything stupid like start eating steak after an injury because he thinks it’s necessary to “heal.”
