Gonzalez subsequently experimented with a vegan diet after reading The China Study, by Cornell professor and nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell, but he and his nutritionist, Mitzi Dulan, ultimately decided that eating meat occasionally would be best for his performance.[16] Gonzalez only eats organic fruits and vegetables, free-range chicken, grass fed beef (no more than 18 ounces a month), and fish.
| You are correct about nutrients, to a degree, but I'm also not saying eat nothing but red meat. Theres essential nutrients in meat/animal products as well that you cant easily get from vegetables/vegan diet...Omega 3's, B12, and easily usable iron for example, all of which are crucial to performance and health.
