Is a vegan diet for everyone?

We cannot escape the history and culture of meat-eating, and athletes are not immune to the influence of a society that encourages meat consumption. Most people do not consider giving up animal products. Many are afraid. Some have tried some version of a vegan diet but for one reason or another resumed eating animal products. Many people do eat a vegan diet and have done so for much, if not all, of their lives. Is someone right, and someone wrong?

OrganicAthlete encourages the individual to decide for him or herself what is best. We do believe that, contrary to popular belief, people can thrive on a plant-based diet. We're not here to tell people what to do or how to live, but to demonstrate by living example that consuming more whole plant foods is definitely a good idea.
