This is so true – I am close to 40 and I have recently become raw vegan – my athletic performance has improved, i sleep less – my overall well being has improved.
It’s pretty true, …
It’s pretty true, I’ve been vegetarian for 15 years and I’m quite a bit faster and stronger than 99% of people my size. However It is much harder to stop being deficient in certain vitamins however (You can’t be lazy with your eating). So in that way eating meat is good but there is a performance gain replacing it with plant foods if you have the dedication to do that
lmfao…

@acidpopproductions I don’t feel I was rude at all, I’m sorry you felt offended. You do now see that the title of the video is wrong though?
@olasonn Uhm you …
@olasonn Uhm you don’t need to be rude, I was just going by what HE said, excuuuuussssee me for not being obsessed with when Carl Lewis got medals.
@acidpopproductions …
@acidpopproductions He didn’t win any Olympic gold medals after becoming vegan, they were all won prior to that. Is that really so hard to understand?
@olasonn You’re …
@olasonn You’re confusing me. He says that his Olympic medals came because his best performances were while he was practicing veganism. I don’t understand what you’re trying to disprove.
@acidpopproductions …
@acidpopproductions So? What I have addressed is the title of the clip, which is wrong.
Actually, even he …
Actually, even he admits, that his BEST performances came from when he was a vegan.
I dont understand …
I dont understand how people can even try to justify the torture and tyranny involved in slaughter houses. I worry very much for the human race.

shaolin monks in my opinion will be the most fit people on the planet…not quite sure if theyre total vegans but i think if u want to be a vegan good for you i personally love BBQ too much to throw meat out the window for something like tofu LOL
It’s close to …
It’s close to impossible to win gold in your 30s in events like the 100 and the long jump sp give him some credit
He broke a world …
He broke a world record (unfortunately for him so did Mike Powell) with his vegan lifestyle in his 30s
Not if the points …
Not if the points are correct, which this one isn’t. He won NO gold medals due to a vegan lifestyle.
It’s not wrong for …
It’s not wrong for vegans to use vegan accomplishments to make their point that vegan athletes can succeed
That may very well …
That may very well be. But the title is wrong, and the vegans are a little too eager to use his achievements to their own gain. And they are wrong for doing so, borderline dishonest.
valid point but in …
valid point but in his showdown with Powell he shattered his “non-vegan” record and if Powell wasn’t there he’d be the world record holder
He won NO Olympic …
He won NO Olympic gold medals through a vegan diet, they were all won before he became a vegan in 1990.
