Vegetarian Star

“My wife’s been vegetarian for about four, five years now. I promised my wife that I would try it for two weeks. … I started to feel healthier, leaner. I started to feel great!”

—Phil Neville, football coach of English team Manchester United, on what motivated him to go vegetarian. Neville gave it a try for a few days. In addition to feeling great, after learning about the great plant-based sources of protein like quinoa, nuts and soy, he knew he had scored a great goal.

“I like to say I’m more a plant-based diet rather than vegan; I do play a sport that uses leather and that type of thing.”

“The hardcore vegans would probably still hate me.”

–Test cricket athlete Peter Siddle during an interview. While we’re all hoping for universal pleather balls and rackets, if every vegan athlete were judged by his or her attire or equipment, the veg community would have no sports heroes. Irrational vegans hate him. Hardcore vegans are proud to have him in the movement.
