about zabriskie,
He can't be vegan, the cycling level he competes at is unsupportable, hence the salmon.
Almost all of the high performing 'vegan' athletes are forced to supplement with non vegan alternatives because it is basically impossible to support that level. (as stated in the independent) incidentally- I've been to see Matthew Rabin (the chiro mentioned) a few times (he also is my dad's chiro) and he would never suggest such a radical change unless, as here, the blood test showed anomalies in response to tour diet.
Incidentally- I only replied to this thread because I disagree with anyone stating that veganism is the 'right direction, just like I'd disagree with anyone saying it isn't.
You eat what you want, and though it may be more justifiable in your eyes, don't for one minute think that it gives you the right to force it on others or suggest that it is a better diet.
Also the reason Zabriskie is 'vegan' is because of food sensitivity. It was a logical step for him.
I apologise for being combative.
I also have been tempted to try out a vegan diet for the summer, as i need to drop a few kilos, and know that there are a lot of high level ironman/middle distance triathletes who are on vegan/ pseudo-vegan diets.
