For anyone still thinking that vegans are skinny and weak….meet the ‘Vegan Warrior.’
In this, the 2nd, episode of That Vegan Podcast, I sit down and talk with Anthony Mullally.
Anthony is a professional rugby league player who plays for Leeds Rhinos and has also represented Ireland in the world cup.
Like most athletes, Anthony grew up eating the standard western diet, conforming to the conventional mythology that eating animal protein would provide the power and strength needed to pursue a professional sports career.
However, unlike most professional athletes Anthony set of on a different path. A self-imposed education of vegan you tube videos and documentaries planted the seed to further understand the destructive impact of animal agriculture and the athletic benefits of eating a plant based diet.
This is where his journey into veganism began.
Standing at an imposing 6’5”, Anthony is proof that athletes can not only compete, but thrive on a vegan diet.
