What made you go vegan? How long has it been?
Ever since I can remember, I’ve always had a profound respect and interest in nature and animals. I guess it’s just in my blood. I grew up poor by American standards and was raised to eat whatever we could afford. I remember being 13 and seeing a truck on the interstate filled with pigs all headed to the slaughterhouse. One of them made eye contact with me for a while. It was one of the saddest moments I can remember. There was so much intelligence and spirit in him, and here he was, being sent to an awful death. …
It wasn’t until I was 20 and I got a job working at an animal sanctuary in Pennsylvania called Ooh-Mah-Nee Farm that I was able to meet people who were vegan and realize how strongly some people felt about it and how many healthy alternatives to animal products there were. I experimented with a vegan diet for about a year, but once I started training full-time for fighting, I believed what certain people said and started eating chicken again because I thought that I had to have some kind of animal protein in order to be a successful athlete. It was crazy because my diet was still pretty much vegan, except for chicken about three times a week. It never sat right with me. … I would still go through spells where I just couldn’t eat it, and about 2 years ago, I read a Mike Mahler article on an animal rights Web site where he explained his vegan diet for training in detail, and I said, “That’s it—I can do it too,” and I started 100 percent vegan again for life and I’ve never looked back. I feel great.
Qué hizo que te hicieras vegano? ¿Cuánto timepo te llevó?
Hasta donde recuerdo, siempre he tenido un profundo respeto e interés por la naturaleza y los animales.Supongo que está en mi sangre. Me crié pobre, para los parámetros americanos,y comía lo que podía permitirme. Recuerdo que tenía 13 años y vi un camión lleno de cerdos por la carretera interestatal, de camino al matadero. Uno de ellos cruzo la mirada con la mía. Fue uno de los momentos más tristes que recuerdo.Había tanta inteligencia y alma en el, y allí estaba, siendo conducido a la muerte.
No fue hasta los 20 años cuando conseguí un trabajo en un santuario en Pennsilvania, cuando tuve la oportunidad de conocer a gente vegana y me di cuenta de la intensidad de sus convicciones y de la cantidad de alternativas saludables a los productos animales que había
