I enjoy reading about Jack LaLanne online and in newspaper articles. He isn't vegan or even strict vegetarian, he eats egg whites and fish.

What I enjoy is reading about how he was derided in his beliefs about health for many years. The medical community said he was wrong in avoiding sugar, white flour, red meat and milk. They said his muscle building was bad. He just turned 95 last September!

What a testament to holding on to what you know to be true. Veganism is just coming into its own.

Did you see this article re: the world's oldest strongman, Joe Rollino? He was nearly 105...and a lifelong vegetarian.

Healthy and active STILL, except he was tragically hit by a car earlier this week. Sad

But there's a healthy lesson there for sure.

Jack is my hero! I love the way he says he "can't die because it would ruin his image".

Always an inspiration!
