78-year-old Vegan Bodybuilder
If you ever thought that vegans might starve from lack of food, the proof's in the pudding. Take a look at, Jim Morris, a 78-year-old bodybuilder that lives on an entirely vegan diet.
The ad comes from a new PETA campaign that advocates vegan and vegetarian diets. The ad encourages eating vegan which can lead to a reduced risk of obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and strokes.
Jim did an interview with PETA about his diet change in 1985 and how it has affected his health, "The protein in animal products is so laden with fats and chemicals and all sorts of stuff that's harmful to you," he told PETA in the interview. "When I was competing and stuffing down all of that sort of stuff, I had lots of digestive problems. I was constipated and bloated and just miserable all the time. . . . I know as a fact I would not be here and I would not be in this condition now had I continued eating the way I was."
Jim went onto discuss why humans are still consuming dairy products and the benefits of not consuming them. Regardless of your feelings about eating entirely vegan, it is a huge accomplishment for Jim to be 78 and still in fantastic shape. It is a great thought provoking ad even if you are considering simply weeding out processed foods, high sugar foods, and those high in fat.
