NFLer Holds Veg Taste Test

In an effort to encourage football fans to reduce their meat consumption on Super Bowl Sunday, Miami Dolphins vegetarian running back Ricky Williams held an hour-long meatless-chicken-wing taste test at his Florida restaurant, PROOF, on February 3. PROOF, which Williams co-owns with NFL alum Rudi Johnson, offers diners a number of vegetarian options including mushroom and vegetable risotto and a black-bean burger. Williams played for this year’s Super Bowl-bound Saints from 1999 to 2001 before moving to the Dolphins, and attributes his nearly 50-pound weight loss to the vegetarian diet he first adopted between teams.
