Power vegan
The Wall Street Journal reports that a Cornell nutrition researcher’s book convinced a 6-foot-5, 247-pound NFL star to stop eating animal foods in favor of a vegan diet. Tony Gonzalez, tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, read T. Colin Campbell’s 2006 book, “The China Study,” on a flight from New York to Los Angeles. By page 40, Gonzalez became convinced animal foods lead to chronic illness. He now eats only plant foods.
