The Manly Vegan

Sad as it sounds, it seems that many super-manly-macho American men resist the benefits of a plant based diet because of  some distorted "wimpy" or "weak" stigma attached to eating plants.  How disheartening that our men feel that to be men the must consume, and only consume, heart-stopping amounts of processed meat!!

Here are some examples of very manly, strong men, even uber-athletes that have realized the physical and mental benefits of plant protein over animal protein.
