Who Says You Can't Be Vegan???

Being vegan its common to get a lot of crap from non-vegans. Comments like, "You're not getting enough protein", or, "Why are you depriving yourself", or "You're gonna die eating that way". Being vegan you got to have thick skin because of such scrutiny. To help you feel like you've got a crew that's got your back, here is a list of 5 vegan badasses that prove you can thrive on a diet of "Rabbit Food".

Rich Roll

A true veg-head badass. Rich is a two-time top finisher at the Ultraman Worldchampionships and in 2010 was the first person(along with his partner in crime Jason Lester) to finish EPIC-5- 5 Ironman distance triathlons on 5 different Hawaiian islands in under a week. He's also written a memoir, "FINDING ULTRA: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World’s Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself", so you know this dude can hang on run and in english, or if you attend OCI, in blogging class.

Patrik Baboumian

Big ass dude from Germany who eats a shit ton of plants to be that big. In the picture below he's setting a new world record by carrying a 1,212 lb. yoke(ironic) 35 feet across the stage Vegfest. Not enough protein huh?? It definitely looks like Patrick is BROtein deficient.

Mike Tyson

Even though he did bite someone's ear off one time, he still counts as vegan. He didn't swallow it, not sure if he chewed or enjoyed it, but he's still vegan. He wasn't vegan during his career, but after he retired, some managed to make it's way around his belly and thighs. After he saw how much of "foodie" he turned into, he went vegan. 

Scott Jurek

Scott Jurek is the Micheal Jordan of ultra marathons, and is totes a veger. He also has a pretty rad book my boss let me borrow. It's called "Eat and Run", and he talks about running a cubic fuckton and gives some quick, easy and super healthy recipes. I mean, they're made by an utlra marathon runner, of course they're healthy as fuck.

Frank Medrano

 Frank Medrano makes me want to start learning some handstands because the shit he does is insane. He's in a crew called Vegan Calisthen-X that's all about spreading the message of the benefits from a vegan diet and fitness. A chill dude with a dope talent, truly inspiring.
