Prince Fielder: All-Star Vegetarian
If you’ve kept up with the All-Star baseball action of the past week, you surely recognize the name Prince Fielder. The Milwaukee Brewers first baseman proved himself an athletic powerhouse by winning the Home Run Derby with 23 home runs.
But Fielder’s most impressive stat of all could be that he’s a vegetarian athlete. He stopped eating meat and fish before the 2008 baseball season (after his wife handed his the book Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin) and hasn’t looked back.
“I tell people I don’t eat meat, and they’re like, ‘Oh!’ They forget there’s so much other food out there. Beans, rice, tofu. You’ve got a lot of good food, baby!”
Does the fact that Prince is currently an all-star player have anything to do with his meat-free diet? Here’s a clue:
“Since I started [a vegetarian diet], I feel amazing. When I wake up, I’m up. I’m not lying around anymore.”
That’s one way to stay on top of your game!
