Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Good morning, I was just wondering if anyone knows whether any of the Olympic athletes are raw, or how to find out. Nick Hein Morgantown, WV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Well we certainly know Michael Phelps is not. He's already signed on and filmed ads for McDeath with little Chinese kids. And Kellogg's has nabbed him as well to sell sugardeath cereal to kids. You might want to contact: (that's how I found out about Phelps) Mike Adams The Health Ranger Editor, www.NaturalNews.com Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I just pinged Ani Phyo from Smart Monkey Foods on her myspace page. I thought that she worked with athletes at an Olympic or Nike training center in Oregon at one point. I'll let you know what she says. lala Nick Hein <nick.hein Friday, August 22, 2008 4:38:40 AM Raw food on an Olympic scale?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I couldn't find anything about raw foodists, but did find a couple of things about vegan olympic participants. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/08/answers-about-the-vegan- lifestyle-in-new-york-part-3/ " It is a fallacy to say that a vegan diet makes a person puny or weak. The strongest animals in world — the rhinoceros, the gorilla, the hippopotamus, the camel, the horse — are vegans. Moreover, the top athletes whose performances are unparalleled — such as Carl Lewis, who holds the record for gold medals in Olympic track and field events; or Dave Scott; or Ruth Heidrich, who recovered from breast cancer with a radical vegan diet; or Kenneth Williams, who has garnered prizes for body building — all competed and excelled as vegans. " --James D. Merriman IV And http://www.straight.com/article-156506/medalhungry-olympic-women- eat-compete For Kara Lang, a 21-year-old forward on the Canadian soccer team and a vegan for five years, the components of her diet are essential to her preparation, and are sometimes hard to come by. Luckily her roommate, midfielder Amy Walsh, shares her preferences. " We'll both bring our Vega protein powder [for protein shakes] and our organic peanut butter from home, and protein bars and trail mix and nuts and stuff like that, " Lang said by cellphone after a morning training session in North Vancouver. " In the past on trips to China, it has been a bit hard to get things. " By the way, what I found out is McDonald's and Coca Cola was the major official sponsors and was about the only food and drink you could get at the venues.
