Bronze Medalist Poses for PETA
Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar endorses veg diet.
April 5, 2009
One of the most tried and true excuses for continuing to eat meat is that going veg will “interfere with athletic performance,” but now “excuse”-itarians will have to come up with something better. Sushil Kumar, an Indian athlete who won a bronze medal in Beijing, has agreed to pose for PETA and promote vegetarianism in his home country. The ads feature Kumar showing off his optimal physical physique along with the tagline “Wrestling with health problems? Be fit and strong: Go vegetarian.“ We’ve got our fingers crossed that other athletes will follow suit. Any bets on who’ll be posing for PETA next?
