"I'm fifty f*cking eight years old. I've got 3 ironmans this year. I have no medications. No nothing. So if I can do all of that - and I'm not anything special - without taking the life of a f*cking innocent animal, destroying the planet in the process, and then save people's lives in the same process - why not do a plant based diet? "
