Who knew that some of the best and most popular athletes in the world are vegetarian! I bet you could of never guessed that. With a little research and some surprises here is what was found:
-Carmelo Anthony (New York Knicks)
-Mike Tyson (Legendary Boxer)
-Robert Parish (Boston Celtics)
-Ricky Williams (Miami Dolphins)
-Tony Gonzalez (Atlanta Falcon)
-Prince Fielder (Detroit Tigers)
-Carl Lewis (Olympic Track Star)
-Joe Namath (New York Jets)
-Hank Aaron (Legendary Baseball)
-Billie Jean King (Tennis Star)
-Desmond Howard (Green Bay Packers)
-Tony La Russa (St. Louis Cardinals Manager)
-Dave Scott (Iron Man Champion)
-Mac Danzig (UFC Fighter)
After looking at the list you would think that there would be more females then males but there is only ONE female on the whole list. Maybe that is something to think about?
