Vegetarian Star

Roger Federer won’t be writing a book about plant-based and gluten-free diets like his competitor Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic’s Serve To Win follows his journey to better health and play once he took a physician’s advice to give up wheat.

Federer has had no such problems in his life and insists he really prefers to eat a bit of everything, although he did grow up eating more of a plant-based than meat diet.

He makes fun of gluten-free, but doesn’t mock vegetarian diets.

Australian cricketer Peter Siddle became vegetarian on the advice of a girlfriend.

His team mates know where he stands and are used to him requesting plant-based food or meals with modifications while on the road or dining out together.

They must respect his diet because he hasn’t earned any derogatory nicknames for it.

But the next time they order out together, he may jokingly be asked if he’s getting the veggie crab dish.

The reference refers to a time when the guys were eating out and Siddle got a surprise in what he thought was a vegetable roll.
