A Vegan Bodybuilder TEDtalk

Yes.... my obsession continues.  Time for another TEDtalk.  So think you need meat to get all the "protes" to "make the gains" and bulk up....... well think again.

In this TEDtalk Joshua Knox discusses the plant-based challenge he and his friends undertook and how this 7 day challenge went on to change the way he ate and viewed food forever.  The thing that makes this story interesting is Joshua is a bodybuilder.  

As you can see from the pictures he certainly has muscles and he has been able to sculpt his body, getting the protein he needs to muscle growth.... from a plant-based vegan diet!?  Who'd have thought it!?

For me this video just goes to show that the "I need meat for protein" argument, might not be as strong as we once thought!
