Quantcast Vegetarian StarJim Morris

Jim Morris

Meet Jim Morris.

He’s a 77-year old bodybuilder.

Although that statement itself is newsworthy, there’s more. The former Mr. New York (1966), Mr. California (1970) and Mr. Universe (1977), turned vegetarian at 50, then vegan at 65.

Morris explained to Frugivore Magazine how dropping all animal products did much more than get him ripped.
