Are there any vegetarian or vegan footballers?

[go you pups]

I know there's vegan NFL players, seen vegetarian bodybuilders and I'm sure plenty of athletes around the world consume a plant-based diet, but I've never actually heard of any vegetarian or vegan footballers.

Does anyone know of any?

Seems right down Brett Kirk's alley. I could see Brodie Grundy being partial to the odd quinoa, kale and pomegranate salad. Probably with some alkalised water to wash it down.

Stefan Martin is a vegan

Also wasn’t Sam Kekovich a vegan?

Lamb ads?

Soy milk is high in estrogen - tofu too.

So are Carrots, Kale, Rye Bread, Chickpeas, olive oil, Garlic, Red wine, Peanuts and a lot of grains

Your point?

Wouldn't it be hypocritical and morally wrong for a vegan to promote buying and eating lamb ?

Please get there faster.

Please get there faster.

Anti-gambling ambassador Jimmy Bartel did do a TAB ad recently though too...

Anti-vegans are more vocal than vegans

No

The poster you were responding to didn’t say anything sexist, just that soy milk is high in estrogen. (Which isn’t completely correct, it’s a slightly different chemical)

Bit of an OTT reaction.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Darcy Moore isn't.

Well done, you got the joke.

That's because just rolling our eyes doesn't get the message across well enough.

I wonder if bachir houli is

 

[Simon_Says]

That one doesn't surprise me too much.

Wonder how they do it? Double the eggs

Thought veganswouldnt eat eggs?

Wonder how they do it? Double the eggs, double the shakes and then do stuff like lentil Bolognese I guess. I suppose AFL players aren't seriously huge units, and mostly subsist on complex carbs anyway.

Shitload of beans, Eggs, spinich. Vegeterians tend to eat better and healthier, and plus when your on at least 100k Per season, turn up to a workplace to eat breakfast, lunch, snacks with a dietition about 4 days a week it becomes a bit easier

Any player not able to perform at 100% because of dietary preference or belief would not start in my team.

It's a non issue

Mate is a vegan arm wrestler, and there is a whole bunch of vegan body builders

Plenty of plant based sources of protein and iron. You can get vegan protein powers too now, they are just a bit more pricey than the whey

They don't

No eggs and no dairy

 

[Hobbes]

They don't

No eggs and no dairy

And no honey. And nothing made with gelatin. And no drinks fined with isinglass, which is most wine and many beers.

 

[threesixpio]

Obviously not because they would’ve told the entire world about it by now

Ahhh best joke ever

How do you know someone is a vegan?

They tell you

 

[threesixpio]

joe daniher is vego, maybe vegan. ben brown the same, one of the other north dudes is as well though i can't put a name to his face.

Tall forwards are more likely to be vegans so far

 

[NetworkNerd]

Are we talking about potato-like AFL footballers or AFL footballers diets?

 

[mad-saint-guy]

What message?

 

[Tectonic]

And no honey. And nothing made with gelatin. And no drinks fined with isinglass, which is most wine and many beers.

Not that many beers.. a lot of brewers have changed techniques last decade or so. Wine yes but its still easy to find one with no fish/egg product in it that isn't garbage.

I would love to know how much food Ben Brown has to eat and what his diet is.

 

[iameviljez]

Why did the vegan cross the road??

To tell everyone they're a vegan.

I'm a meat eater myself, but I do take the point that a vego friend makes: that nobody has quite as many opinions on another person's diet as a meat-eater who has been recently introduced to a vegetarian.

That's pretty hardcore - I do know some vegans who don't consider honey a problem.
