David Carter Oakland Raiders

Defensive lineman for the Oakland Raiders David Carter is one in the elite group of athletes who choose to power their game with plants.

Carter wrote an opinion article for Inside Bay Area, discussing the importance of what goes into his body.

“I must ensure I’m consuming sufficient calories to keep full and have the energy to perform at my peak while not overloading and slowing my body down,” he wrote. “My career depends on it. So many people are shocked when they learn that I fuel my body with a plant-based — vegan — diet. I’m just shocked that it took me 26 years to gain the wisdom to do it!”

NFL: NOV 23 Colts at Chargers

If you’re a vegetarian Chargers fan, congratulations! You can enjoy the game live without having to worry about munchingĀ on peanuts or a bland protein bar you brought from home.

Qualcomm Stadium, home to the San Diego Chargers, has been named the friendliest vegetarian NFL stadium by PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

You can stock up before the game and eat until your veggie heart’s content on bean burritos, veggie sushi rolls, vegetable wraps, veggie hot dogs, and Gardenburgers.

Coming in at second place is the McAfee Coliseum, where the Oakland RaidersĀ do their thing on home turf. Choose from veggie hot dogs, veggie burgers, and fruit cups for dessert.

The city of Philadelphia took first place this year for the best veggie baseball stadium, but they’ve come in 3rd place for football with the Eagles’ Lincoln Financial Field offering veggie hot dogs and veggie burgers.

Finally, we all can be ready for some football!
