His name is Brendan Brazier. Check out a book called Thrive diet. He is a high endurance athlete that CHOOSES a plant based diet BECAUSE of the higher performance level. It's all about knowing what to eat. Being a vegan is so counter-culture it's hard to learn certain details. You run seven miles a day? Brendan is a champion ultra-marathoner and also a professional triathlete. Also google "running raw." Hey man i got someone for you. His name is Brendan Brazier. Check out a book called Thrive diet.

I am an avid runner and also a very large guy. At six percent body fat, and running five to seven miles a day, as a vegan, I was miserable. I was eating a lot of carbs and my insulin levels were high. I chose to become a vegan because of ethics. I stopped because of my health. I followed a plant based vegan diet for years.

The problem is that 99.999% of sheep are not "pets" and are treated horribly and are a HUGE contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (sheep make up 25% of all land mammals). So, while this particular sheep may be a happy, healthy, loved family member - using him or her for hairs changes the relationship from friend/pet to a source of textile and income. In this case, all I can is that there is no "right" answer, but if you choose to wear them, don't make a point to brag about how amazing they are to others. Make sense?

I have honestly struggled with this, but ultimately wear them because she loves her sheep and they were knitted with love.
