Much of the information about vegetarian and vegan diets for athletes is based on fear. "Where are do you get your protein?" By cutting animal products out of your diet, the thinking goes, you are diminishing your nutrition. This was the opposite of Bradley's experience and the findings of many reknowed doctors, nutritionists, and health professionals. Bradley thought, "Shouldn't there be an organization that teaches athletes of all ages and abilities about the benefits of a plant-based diet, unites them as a community, and inspires them with athletic example?"
(The organization has grown from a small group of athletes to over 600 members today).
