Beef Burgers, Sausages and Pies banned from Football Stadium

Who ate all the Peas? 

Vegan football boss bans matchday meat pies and burgers | Mail Online: "- Chairman of an English football team, Dale Vince - the man behind ecotricity, the sustainable energy innovator has banned beef burgers, sausages and meat pies not just for the players at Forest Green Rovers but also for the fans in the stadium.

The move is intended not just to make the club more healthy but also more sustainable and eco friendly.

Dale Vince said on the forest Green Rovers club website "Although this has been described by some people as a Red Meat ban, it's actually not. We're simply saying we won't any longer provide Red Meat at the club. We've taken it off the menu. This is a part of a bigger picture move - it's about improving the quality of food at FGR, about providing better quality, healthy food all round."

London Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston said " A number of football trainers are now realising that what they were taught as dietetic and nutrition gospel is false - the opposite of what they once believed is true - avoiding meat can actually improve performance, vegetable protein can provide power and essential fats with more vitamins and minerals without the detrimental effects of too much saturated animal fat"


"A diet richer in Plantarian foods could reduce the risk of injury too" says the Nutritionist

Woody Harrelson Scores Winning Goal In Charity Soccer Game

Woody Harrelson Scores Winning Goal In Charity Soccer Game | FilmShaft

Now that's what I call a World Cup game a quality Football match. Who'd have thought a Vegan would have won the Socceraid celebrity game of charity football for Unicef that Robbie Williams championed. There was so much traffic on the official Unicef Socceraid website that they shut it down for the weekend. Twitter has gone mad with it and Woody Harrelson or 'harellson' and 'harellson' was trending on twitter for a while there even ahead of #howtogetslapped ??!??!? Some fans had assumed he'd died - why else would Woody be trending on twitter?

So anyway - Well done Woody, a better vegan footballer than a vegan Zombie basher!
