"There should be no separation between what we eat and what is best for our health, as well as the health of the environment and animals."~Matthew Kenney

Traveling as a vegetarian has its own unique challenges.Looking for a vegetarian-friendly place to visit? Maybe this list will help.

"As a true millennial, I turned to the internet for reinforcements: Tasty recipes that skipped meat and dairy. We tried quinoa and carrot kugel, quinoa and black bean veggie burgers and an Indian eggplant and tomato dish called Baingan Bharta."~Natasha Tandler

"Plant based, it makes sense. I gave up meat."~Bob Harper

So why are the athletes who choose plant-based diets doing so? Aside from ethical, environmental, or long-term health reasons, recovery seems to be the big one, and the nutrient density and anti-inflammatory nature of a plant-based diet are the most likely explanations.

The main reasons people become vegans are down to animal welfare, helping the environment and improving health

Happy International Women's Day :)
