    If you google ''list of vegetarians/vegans'' they have a color coded list on wikipedia ie blue refers to musicians, red to sports-folk, green to scientists etc etc.

    Some vegans are

    Georges Laraque (pro ice hockey)

    Robert Cheeke (bodybuilder)

    Brendan Brazier (triathlete)

    Adam Myerson (pro-Cyclist)

    Abele (karata champion)

    Scott Jurek (Ultramarathon runner, won numerous times)

    David Zabriskie (pro Cyclist)

    Luke Cummo (MMA)

    Mike Mahler (body builder)

    Salim Stoudamire (NBA player)

    Tony Gonzalez (American Football ''tight end'' considered the greatest of all time)

    Carl Lewis (olympic runner, considered olympian of the century)

    Joe Namath (American Football, considered top 100 player ever at the sport)

    Taryn Terrell (WWE)

    Mike Tyson (boxer)

    Danzig (MMA aUFC champion)

    "Carl Lewis (olympic runner, considered olympian of the century)"

    blah needs his assurance so he can keep his faith, like any good religious person

    Carl Lewis--Olympian of the Century? If vegan food gets you this high, I want some!
