The Grumpy Vegan hates those who celebrate losing weight when they go vegan. It never happened to me. Why should it happen to them? Vegans are either skinny or lumpy, in my experience.
So, it’s interesting to read The Wall Street Journal‘s article “The 247lb. Vegan.”
The piece features a couple of athletes who successfully follow a vegan diet. For example, there’s Tony Gonzalez, who is apparently a “tight-end” (the mind spins) for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Mac Danzig, a mixed martial-arts fighter. Generally, it seems that vegan athletes do no better or worse than the carnivore ones.
This is, I suppose, good news, particularly because it’s the hunk of machismo, The Wall Street Journal, reporting it.
