Does anyone know of any olympic athletes that are raw?
What about Vegan?

I searched on the web but couldn't find anything.

Funny you should ask, BECAUSE this weekend as I was putting up my bat house, I was thinking this same thing. Think of the endurance and stamina these folks would have.

I bet we're gonna hear more and more (as the years go on) that will go towards this.

One thing though - big brother, like McShit's (sorry, can't call it by it's real name), but those types of sponsors - Coke and the likes? They wouldn't want too many going raw. But what a boost that would be for organic farmers...

Can't you see Michael Phelps popping out of the water with a big old Green Smoothie in his hand?

There are a few old school ones listed in Diet for a New America, I can't remember off the top of my head. Also, Doug Graham trains a lot of athletes. Again, I can't remember off the top of my head, but these are a couple of places to look further.

Sorry to hijac your thread, but I can't believe all of this fuss about Phelps smoking mj in private when he publicly promotes poison (junk food) to kids. How come no one raises a fuss about the McDeadly's adds?

i agree, but mcdonalds is one of if not their biggest sponsors for the olympics. money always wins. they're just a bunch of hyprocrites and probably will always be this way.

also that guy...what's his name.... he won gold in track. he and his father said they owe it mainly to the yams for being a fast runner. i noticed quickly on the internet and also the tv news starting about an hour after that live statement they said it was just the chicken nuggets he ate before hand.

that guy did mention he ate chicken.. but they kept raving about the yams they grow on their farm.

...what about Bob Mionske ....4th in the Seoul Olympics, and maybe also competed in '92 (I think!)
