So I'm spending this semester writing a paper for a course that is loosely structured around food. I decided to choose the topic of whether or not it's feasible to be a vegetarian and remain competitive in high level athletics.
I generally suck at science, but since I'm roped into this course as a requirement, I figured I might as well make it interesting. This could probably be a x-post from the food forum, but I figured it's get more hits here, and some of you under 3' of snow like me might enjoy discussing it.
I'm not looking for help on my paper, but I'm curious about top athletes, cyclists specifically since we're on here, and whether any of them are vegetarian or vegan? Is it truely even possible? We're not talking your local cat 3 event, but athletes who earn a living by winning events. Discuss.
