Another Raw Runner,Cycist Ironman Competitor

Brendan Brazier! He is amazing........ :)

As a competitive runner and a hardcore vegan, Brendan Brazier had a pretty good idea what was behind his lethargy and chronic muscle soreness. So he took a radical step: He stopped cooking. Two years later, fueled by a 90 percent uncooked, plant-based diet, the 30-year-old from Vancouver, British Columbia, not only feels great, but is also a top-tier Ironman and blistering 2:29 marathoner. In the process, he's become one of the leaders pushing the boundaries of the raw (or "living") food movement beyond the crunchy realm of hippie communes and into the sweaty world of timed splits, intervals, and anaerobic thresholds. "I haven't used my stove in over a year," says Brazier. "In fact, I'm thinking of selling it."

I think there was an article about him in the brochure I received with my sample VEGA bar. Is this the same guy? He was very impressive!

[heabrook]

I just saw an ad in VegNews about his new products: Vega. One is an energy bar that is supposed to be 100% raw. I just requested a free sample.

[misslinda]

Gals, how did the sample taste???
:D

[misslinda]

[Jordann]

I saw a similar ad about an month ago!

I emailed them my addy and they sent me free bar in the mail, and some coupons. :D I

Taste wise? Meh. I certainly would never pay $3.69 for one.

Brendan is awesome! I am in the same 2006 Vegan fitness calendar as him. :D His Vega bars are really good, I like the natural flavor ones.
