Vegetarian Star

Aaron Simpson has finally made the transition to a vegan diet after three years of fighting as a vegetarian.

In a recent interview with Bleacher Report, the MMA fighter discussed how doing so has benefited his athleticism and also gives input on Arian Foster‘s recent decision to go vegan as well.

“People are coming out and talking smack about (Houston Texans running back) Arian Foster because he’s decided to become vegan. They are saying he’s not going to be the running back he was and he is going to lose muscle mass. That’s just B.S. You can get great plant proteins that are healthier than animal proteins. It’s just a matter of being disciplined about it.”

If you like cuisines of the world, that’s another reason why you should go vegetarian.

So many cultures outside of America tend to use less meat in their dishes and make grains, vegetables and fruits the center of the plate.

Vegan marathoner Scott Jurek realizes this, and is often caught searching for ethnic spots when he’s on the road.

“It’s mostly about searching out ethnic foods, particularly when I’m in airports. You can still survive. In restaurants, a lot of times they have beans in the salad bar. Sometimes you have to look off the menu. It becomes a bit of a challenge, but usually Mexican and Asian are good choices.”

Mexican and Asian aren’t the only choices for great veggie food, as ChooseVeg has listed several popular vegan cuisines that are Ethiopian, Mediterranean and Indian.

“They have showed significant decline in their strength and fitness,” coach Yu Juemin said.
