Team Vegan
Team Vegan is being launched today at Clif Bar headquarters in Berkeley, California. It's hailed as the first squad of bike racers dedicated to proving that animal products aren't needed for strength and stamina. The team owner is OrganicAthlete, a nonprofit health and environmental group. Says OrganicAthlete founder and team captain Bradley Saul, "We want to show people a healthy, plant-based diet is possible for active, sporting people of any level. The bottom line is that reducing one's consumption of animal products and increasing one's consumption of whole plant foods is better for one's health and the environment." The cycling team consists of 20 riders ranging from cat 5 to cat 1. In addition to racing nationally they will be speaking about the benefits of plant-based nutrition.
