and what would you do with all those chickens, pigs, cows ec...? let them die of old age?
I would suggest (or at least hope) Saddle Bum was trolling there.
In answer to the question at the top, yes there are many vegetarian and vegan cyclists, including tour riders. THere is no reason why a vegetarian diet should be any better or worse than an omnivorous one.
I'm not a vegetarian but quite often go days without eating any meat. I've never had any personal political/ethical objections to animal farming though, probably because I happen to know many farmers in that business.
We've started to use quorn now as it's comparable in price to meat, compared to when it first came out when it was twice as much. We'll still have a beef joint, chicken or pork on Sunday, and i'll still have my bacon and eggs on Sunday but we've stopped buying that horrible so called lean mince from the supermarkets. God it's like chewing someone's cartilidge or similar!
I think that meat is way overpriced and way under quality compared to a few years ago. I also have issues regarding animal cruelty in slaughterhouses, especially with this halal being forced upon us without knowledge or consent!
Nothing with a face is my motto, I've been veggie now for 18 years. But I still miss bacon!
Genuine question - not knocking anyone, I'm genuinely curious, and also not the worlds best educated when it comes to nutirition!
Being a powerlifter I'm into me protein etc. Where do vegetarians get protein from, especially athletes etc?
