Snowboard Ladies Halfpipe - Day 7

It’s always great to learn about the dozens of successful vegetarian athletes, and veggie newcomer Hannah Teter has just made the meatless world proud.

Teter took the Silver Medal in the Women’s snowboard half pipe competition at the Vancouver Olympic games.

She’s been a vegetarian for about a year and says she couldn’t feel better.

“I feel stronger than I’ve ever been, mentally, physically, and emotionally,” Teter told Huffington Post. “My plant-based diet has opened up more doors to being an athlete. It’s a whole other level that I’m elevating to. I stopped eating animals about a year ago, and it’s a new life. I feel like a new person, a new athlete.”

Through her charity, Hannah’s Gold, Teter was able to extend the privilege of having access to quality food by making it easier for people in Kenya to grow their own food.

“One of the first projects we did was to provide Kirindon with basic farming tools and organic seeds. They have all the land and decent soil, but they just don’t have the tools.”

Snowboard Ladies Halfpipe - Day 7

Hannah Teter won the Silver Medal in the Women’s halfpipe competition in snowboarding this year.

Last year, Teter was honored by having a limited edition Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream flavor, Maple Blondie, named after her.

Like vegetarian Teter, Ben & Jerry’s is interested in improving the world by following more animal friendly practices.

The ice cream giant is in the process of sourcing eggs that come from cage-free farms and is expected to complete the phase in by the end of this year.

The company is also against using recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH), a substance used to produce more milk in dairy cows, and sources their dairy products from family farms.
