[picappgallerysingle id=”9748535″]People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has released its list of the most vegetarian friendly NFL stadiums.

There’s no excuse for DeSean Jackson grabbing a Philadelphia cheesesteak after the game, when he can take advantage of other high protein manly foods at the Philadelphia Eagles’ Lincoln Financial Field like, “mock-steak sandwiches, faux-chicken sandwiches, veggie dogs, and veggie burgers.”

Phil Mickelson Worried About Staying Vegetarian Over Holidays

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, November 4th, 2010 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.


Is Phil Mickelson having second thoughts about going vegetarian to ease his symptoms of psoriatic arthritis?

From comments made to the press, it seems Mickelson is either unsure if the diet is helping his condition or he’s afraid the turkey will get the best of him for Thanksgiving.

“I’ve been doing it for just over four months and I’m just having second thoughts,” Mickelson said. “I don’t know if it really is going to make a difference or what. So we’ll see. We can talk about it in January, and I’ll have a better idea — see how the holidays go.”

Instead of getting disappointed over how his lefty is responding, Mickelson should also consider the other physical conditions a vegetarian or vegan diet can prevent–like heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity–something his multiple burger a week habit will surely bring on if he returns to that lifestyle.

At the age of 40, Rich Roll took a good look at his physique and a deeper look at his family medical history of heart problems and realized he could no longer hide behind the illusion of the fit, college swimmer he was years ago.

The ultra-distance athlete who was named “25 Fittest Guys In The World,” by Men’s Fitness Magazine found the only way to redeem himself was through a vegan diet. In interviews with Planet Green and Mind Body Green, Rich explains how he rolls on entirely plant-based meals.

From Planet Green:

“By excelling as an ultra-endurance athlete in my mid-40’s on an entirely plant-based diet, it is my hope that I can help inspire others to understand that they too have the inner power improve their wellness. Of course, not everyone is going to go entirely vegan or complete the Ultraman, but maybe they will be inspired enough to unearth those running shoes collecting dust in the closet; or think twice before ordering that steak.”

“Farm animals are smart, friendly animals who experience fear, pain and suffering just like cats, dogs and all other living beings do. The cruel conditions endured by billions of farm animals annually on factory farms all across North America is an issue that affects all of us. As a proud Brooklyn native who believes all animals should be treated with compassion, I am honored to be back in my hometown leading the 2010 New York City Walk for Farm Animals.”

I tried it out (not eating meat) and loved it—I felt so healthy and energetic. I’ve never looked back since!”
