Daniel Bryan Living Clean Vegan Lifestyle (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, April 19th, 2012 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink, Videos.

Daniel Bryan is featured here is a short video where he credits his success in wrestling to “living a clean, vegan lifestyle.”

Some haters like to yell, “Bacon, bacon, bacon,” when he enters the ring and there’s a brief scene when he gets booed after announcing he’s a vegan to a wrestling crowd, but there’s no greater revenge that letting them watch him slam an opponent to the ground with no mercy.

That’s what tofu, rice and an occasional vegan cupcake can do for you.

Watch the 2010 Heavyweight Champion above pay a visit to his favorite vegan restaurant, Red Velvet Cafe.

“My health is so much better. I’m bigger now than I was eating meat. My lifts in the gym are better. I’m in better shape. A lot of people thought you couldn’t be a top-level athlete as a vegan, but people like Mac Danzig and Jake Shields are proving that’s wrong. And it’s better for me as a performer.”

Daniel Bryan, WWE athlete who’s (as you can see from his statement) got plenty of company in the crowd of vegetarian/vegan wrestlers. Bryan says he eats “a lot of Asian food — brown rice and vegetables, salad and protein shakes,” but he does allow himself the occasional vegan cupcake. We assume it has good things like chocolate and vanilla on it, versus brown rice and vegetables frosting.

“Don’t get me wrong, yes, I love animals … but if we were in a different day and age like 100 or 200 years ago then, sure, I would do whatever I had to do to live. If I had to be a hunter-gatherer then I would. I might feel bad about it, but I would respect the animals that I killed and I would eat meat. But things are different. We don’t live in that day and age anymore.”

Welcome sign at Wrigley

If you avoid animal products and still plan to take yourself out to the ballgame, you’ll be happy to learn that one major league ballpark  has updated its menu so you can buy more than peanuts and Crackerjacks.

Because those get old really fast, leaving you with no motivation to cheer and only to throw them at the opponent’s fans.
