Vegan Muscle Power | Animal Voices

January 15, 2008

To some, the idea of an herbivorous bodybuilder might seem laughable, but Kenneth Williams is living proof that mass and veganism can go hand-in-hand. Tune in to learn the surprising story of how he became vegan, and the even more surprising story of how he started bodybuilding. Also, Evelyn Molina-Williams talks about how she overcame a serious health issue through nutrition and exercise. Starting from a place of compassion not only toward animals, but also toward their own bodies, Evelyn and Kenneth are passionate about a holistic approach to diet and exercise. Peek into the fridges and hearts of these role-models, who seem to enjoy outreach just as much as (or maybe even more than) their leafy greens and amaranth. (And yes, we ask the question on every skeptic's mind: But where do you get your protein?)

Im so gald to read this wonderful story, as It proves you dont need to live on murdered animals to be alive and have a healthy normal life.
Its a terrible and misleading myth that you have to eat meat to get protein!
Ive been a Vegetarian most of my life, only eating meat at a small part of my adult life mainly beacuse of people brain washing me I would die if I didnt eat meat!
Nonsense!
Ive always looked and felt healthier when Ive been compleatly vegetarian.
In these modern times there are so many wonderful vegetarian foods, Im nearly 40 Im still alive and in great health, my blood tests show great health.
It is goverments and meat industries that brain wash we 'need' meat in our diets.(to fill their greedy pockets)
Most meats are packed with hormones and antibiotics forced into these dear animals that are often kept in crampt and un-natural conditions.
These animal came from a 'forced upon' conception brought upon by artificial insemation by 'man'
Forced in their masses these animals go into long lines, following each other by prods and pokes, to meet their forced 'DEATH'to become meat.
Animals may not be able to talk, in our language, but they can sence fear, and danger etc, so waiting in that line, they certainly would be able to sence the smell of the death's and blood of their fallen kind further down the line.
All this without even talking about the major impact breeding all these millions of animals are having on global warming.
Do your health, and this Earth and (the dying third world who go without the millions of tons of grain that are fed to these animals) a favour by going vegetarian/vegan.
