I've seen those 'beefy' vegan bodybuilders at Animal Rights events. I was very impressed at the muscle mass they aquired without an cholesterol and saterated fats, not to mention the added hormones, antibiotics & pesticides. They look great! I learned a lot about how pro-athletes are usually vegan anyway, especially olympians. It's encouraging to all of us that so many impressive people, most famous, are breaking those 'hippy' stereotypes. I belong to several vegan groups and we rarely see that 'type'. We're all healthy, happy and productive members of society. No one would ever suspect, without looking closely, that we're promoters of non-violence toward all beings. The trend toward a healthier way of life for Americans is moving along steady and strong. I've seen leaps and bounds in that direction in the past few years; classrooms, churches (SDA's always had it, but UU's are catching up from their environmental stances), restaurants and public event facilities. It's our government that's slow to respond to societies wants and needs. Oh well. Welcome to America! Rich and stupid. i appreciate your sarcasm.
