"I used to think that I needed chicken and fish as a source of protein in order to train properly. I subscribed to that theory for a while and then when I finally decided to cut everything out and I was doing it right, it felt really good and I didnât lose any strength at allâI feel like I recover quicker so itâs been good. ⌠A lot of people try to stay away from carbs and stuff like that, but I eat a lot of brown rice and just good clean complex carbs and it works for me. ⌠In this day and age I donât see any reason to contributing to a really awful industry [sc. the meat industry] that causes too many problems. Itâs horrible what the animals have to go through on a daily basis, itâs just awfulâtheyâre born and raised in really nasty conditions and itâs better not to contribute to that whole thing. ⌠I just donât see in this day and age a real reason to contribute to that when you can be really healthy and not eat that sort of thing and not cause a lot of suffering."
