Check out this post from AOL Fanhouse. Milwaukee Brewers slugger Prince Fielder has given up meat and is eating a vegetarian diet. For those who don’t follow baseball, Prince Fielder is an old-school, non-steroid sculpted, home run hitting machine. Guys who look like him are not the guys you expect to be vegetarian. He made the decision after reading a book his wife gave him that described the treatment of animals used in food production.
“After reading that, (meat) just didn’t sound good to me anymore,” Fielder said. “It grossed me out a little bit. It’s not a diet thing or anything like that. I don’t miss it at all.”
Fielder joins an ever-growing list of vegetarian/vegan athletes including ultimate fighter Mac Danzig, NBA baller Salim Stoudamire, and ultramarathoner Scott Jurek. If these guys can give up animal products and perform at such high levels, so can you. For more info on going vegetarian, click here.
