Unbelievably inspiring article by Mark Bittman on vegan ultramarathoner Scott Jurek. The guy eats between five and eight thousand calories per day, and dominates in races that are upwards of 150 miles. It’s plain that Bittman—himself a runner—is awed by Jurek’s accomplishments.
In contrast to Michael Pollan, Mark Bittman has always been quite fair when addressing the merits of a vegan diet. I’ve got to think that writing this piece will make the tone of Bittman’s future coverage of vegan issues even more favorable. Link.
