Massimo Leopardi (vegan): From Adrenaline to Consciousness, Part 1 of 2 – Awakening the Inner Path

The vegan diet helped me find this balance between lightness, balance, and explosive strength that has given me the body to compete beyond the age of 50. In 2019, Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan) presented Massimo Leopardi and Julia Ovchinnikova (both vegans) with the Shining World Compassion Award, plus US$10,000 in humble support of their noble work on Veggie Channel.

It’s a big misconception that you have to eat animal products. I think just looking at the amount of vegan athletes or largely plant-based athletes that are around now, that’s evidence enough, in my opinion, that you don’t need to eat animal products to be successful.

Professional Surfer Tia Blanco (vegan): Waves to Live By, Part 2 of 2

It’s a huge misconception that people think that vegans don’t have anything to eat. There is basically an alternative for anything that you would want that was non-vegan. You could definitely make it vegan. I definitely do not have a shortage of food. I eat so much food, and it's all plant-based and vegan.

In one word, I would describe surfing as freedom. When you step into the ocean and catch a wave, it's almost like an empty canvas for you to paint the picture however you like. So, you have the freedom and space to be creative with your movement and whatever you want to do.

Plumes (vegan): Singing for Animal-People and a Kinder World, Part 2 of 2

I think that animals don’t really have any vices, […] and that they are not proud or selfish at all. Those things don’t exist for them. […] I hope that in a few years we will be able to live in a world where we are as pure and innocent as animals. That would be great.

The animal-people, when they hear some music, they come to you. We collect many of these kinds of touching and emotional scenes or intelligent scenes from the animal-people to also show people that animal-people love the things that we love. They’re also having this artistic appreciation in their hearts. Isn’t that amazing?

So, if you want to bring about justice for people, the planet, and animals, you’re going to have to get involved with your communities. You’re going to have to get involved with the social justice movement, the equality movement, the greening movement. It’s about bringing it all together.

If you just give people the space and the time and the access to the food, people will often make the decision that’s best for them, best for their bodies, and best for the planet. They just need that exposure to it in a supportive and safe and fun environment. In 2023, Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan) donated £3,000 (US $4,047) to Made In Hackney through the Warm Space campaign.

I encourage people to be vegan and do strength sports, and also show that women can do strength sports, all at the same time. You can be feminine and do strength training and be vegan, and there’s no incompatibility between any of it.

My legacy is (that) I want to essentially show people what's actually possible, that you could build muscle as a vegan on a plant-based diet. And vegans come in all different shapes and sizes. And also that vegan food isn't bad, isn't boring. It could be great, it could taste great.

I often hear people say, “You don’t look vegan!” Because actually, I think there are still a lot of stereotypes about vegans. There’s still a bit of this attitude: “No, vegans are weak!” Well, no, I’m not weak. Vegans are just like everyone else. It’s just that I decided not to make animals suffer, that’s all!

I was on a trip to Costa Rica with my family, and I was there, saw a bunch of emaciated cows. They were going through a drought apparently. These cows looked so skinny, and I was feeling bad for them, I was wondering like, why do I necessarily feel bad for these cows?

The first time I ran my first ultramarathon, I thought that was the hardest thing I’d ever done and never again. But I keep going back, and this is my 16th year of running ultras. And for me, it’s about self-exploration and going beyond, seeing what I can accomplish at the end of the day after running 100 miles (~161 kilometers).

When it comes to animal rights, there’re all these kinds of arguments that justify mass production and mass killing of animals. It’s like these animals were here for us. So does that give us the right to put them to work, to engineer and breed them on purpose, to use them for our own selfish needs?

Helicopter ride in Brazil, floated down the Amazon River in Brazil. We really embrace clean food. We really embrace movement like exercise, hiking, volcanoes, stuff like that.

After three weeks of being vegan, I had lost six pounds of fat and gained a pound of muscle. And so, I was like, “Wow, well, I guess this is working, and I’m going to keep doing it.” And I started reflecting on those animals and how many animals I was really consuming to be this big bodybuilder guy?
