Age 35, I changed my diet and became a vegetarian.

Prior to that, my diet was, well, you know, I was much bigger.

It's funny because if I'm if I'm making you talk to a large group, I can immediately tell the exercisers because as I'm talking about things, they're sitting there like, Man, it's got nothing to do with me.

I exercise a lot.

And what I like to say is, as I see that posture and I see that expression is that, you know what?

If you do a lot of exercise and you eat garbage every day, guess what?

You eat two or three times the amount of garbage is it said and papers.

You think that it's coming into your body and you're burning it off like a blast furnace.

It's not doing any harm.

No, I have reason to believe because I've had the tests that at age 35, I had some massive problems in my coronary arteries.

Okay.

But as far as I was concerned, I was ignorant.

I felt like I do so much exercise that cancels out all the problems.

So my diet was horrible.

But I read Diet for a New America, which was a book by John Robbins, heir to the Baskin Robbins fortune.

He rebelled against his family because he thought, Mom, dad, you're you're poisoning the American public with your product.

So he he started Earth Day, which is an organization of vegetarians and so forth.

And so he's a real pioneer.

But he did this this undercover work.

Reporter They went into slaughterhouse houses and really uncovered how big agri business is raising animals.

And if you like animals, this is a hard book to read when you understand how we treat animals, pigs, chickens, cows and so forth.

I read that book.

It was given to me and I read that book and I once I was done with the book, my first thought was like in The Wizard of Oz, you pull the curtain back.

How do I keep believing in the Wizard?

I pulled the curtain back and I said, How do I continue to support this industry knowing now what I know?

So I became a vegetarian that day, not for health reasons, but it saved my life because I was Sprint.

I was sprinting toward disaster with my diet, which was just God awful.

It was horrible.
