Going vegan was one of the best things I’ve done, both for my rugby game and on a personal level. I’m strong and fit, my reflexes are sharp, my mind is awake, and my conscience is clear – I encourage everyone to give meat, eggs, and dairy foods the red card and see the difference for themselves!

I couldn't make the connection between what I was eating, what was on my plate, and the living animal. When I realized this connection, veganism became my lifestyle and my philosophy. … I know that through this philosophy I help not only myself but also the animals, the whole animal world, and the planet.
