Rabbit Food? Ha!

I've heard this beautiful array referred to somewhat disparagingly as "rabbit food" with the implication that it could only feed a little bunny and is unsuitable as the basis for a human diet. Clearly there couldn't be enough protein and vitamins to adequately nourish an athlete!

Let's remember that zebras, cattle, giraffe, hippos, camels, deer, horses, rhinos, and elephants all manage to bulk up, maintain strength and hit top speed on a plant-based diet. Try keeping up with any of those creatures -- even while you're riding a bike.

I hear you laughingly suggest that hippos don't move too fast. Watch this one downing a cheetah. Mental note: Don't mess with hippo babies.

I don't have a secret agenda in converting the world to a vegan diet. But I will tell you that it's not only possible to survive on a plant based-diet, I'll introduce you to some competitive endurance athletes who choose a plant-based diet specifically as an edge in athletic performance. May even get one as a guest-blogger.

Eat well.
