"Going vegan..."
I actually bought into this, well the health part, several years back. In
order to stay in top shape for running hounds I took up bicycling. Over time it became something of an obsession. I began mountain bike racing and eventually graduated to the highly elitist sport of road racing. I generally took a spanking every time I entered a road race (I did quite well on the mountain bike) and I began filtering through performance enhancing food, suplements, training techniques and so forth and finally went to the extreme by going vegetarian, cheered on by a couple of limp wristed vegan types I was riding with at the time. I went all the way and did so for over a year without a single conscious slip. I lost weight (muscle weight unfortunately), noticed no difference in my general health, I suffered continually from cravings, mostly for pizza of all things.. and most importantly my perfomance actually declined. It was somewhere in the 14th month I believe, that I finally threw up by hands and called "bullshit", went back to meat eating with a vengance and recovered my lost performance in a remarkably short period of time. My friends have mixed emotions as I'm back to bargecuing but now I'm not giving away all the pheasants, grouse, quail, ducks, geese, deer, elk, antelope and so on that I kill. Well, gotta go, I've got mink to skin.
