Vegetarian Star

NFL player Tony Gonzalez showed up to the set of Good Day Atlanta to discuss why he changed his diet to one that is mostly plant based and created his protein powder, All-Pro-Science.

Gonzalez demonstrated one of his favorite morning shakes using the vegan version of his protein powder, made of pea, hemp and brown rice protein.

Banana and acai juice are just two of the ingredients to this deliciously looking shake that sounds perfect for anyone from a vegan triathlete to a vegan stay at home warrior mom to start the day.

Tony Gonzalez October Gonzalez for PETA

Tony Gonzalez and his wife October Gonzalez are starring in a new anti-fur ad that’s so hot, it will knock the hairs off your own body!

After shooting the ad, Tony and October sat down to discuss the effects of a plant based diet on their health and the animals.

“What goes on in the industry, the treatment of animals is just ridiculous,” Tony says.

“They pump them full of hormones, they feed them corn-which is not their natural diet.”

“These animals are miserable from the second they are born to the second they die,” October adds.

“We have a voice. And that’s why we’re doing something like this…If enough people stand up and say something about it, it will end,” Tony says.

Tony Gonzalez insists that his success on the football field is most closely tied with adopting “vegan principles,” according to usatoday.com.

Not a complete vegan-not even a complete vegetarian-Gonzalez still eats seafood and chicken occasionally, but has given red meat the permanent punt off his plate.

“You have to put good stuff in your body. Everybody should, but especially athletes. We’re high-performance machines. You wouldn’t put regular gas in a race car. Jimmie Johnson is going to put the high-octane, good stuff in there. It’s the same thing for football players. You’d be surprised by how many players don’t do it. But I’ve seen the results.”

Tony’s trying to get the wifey on board too, but she’s not the best willing participant.

Uh-oh.

Does she need a Skinny Bitch to keep her in line?

“She’s having trouble. When I cook, she’s eating good. But if she has to do it on her own, she might not make the best choices.”

Tony made the switch to a mainly vegetarian diet after sitting next to a man who ordered a vegan meal on a plane flight and bugging the heck out of him with questions, which led Tony to read The China Study, which outlines how diseases that drive health care costs up can be prevented with a plant based diet.
