Even though I am not exactly a follower of the bodybuilding circuit, I was excited when I saw this article posted on the home page of the
New York Times this morning. Traditionally, bodybuilding has been associated with the stereotype of steroids and steaks. On the other hand, the stereotype of a vegan is that they are skinny, lacking muscle and strength. These bodybuilders show that you can, in fact, build muscle on a plant based diet. Just remember that everything has protein in it! I think people forget that vegetables and fruits have protein, and that protein is important but it is not the be all end all in food nutrients.
