I'm a vegetarian.....

Hey me too, but i doubt there were any

I vaguely remember that:

Lelanie Munter (not well known in this forum) is a vegetarian. She runs Indy Lights.

Jenson Button supported the campaign against foie-gras (those britons are nuts... ).

David Coulthard follows a healthy diet (I think he eats "only" fish).

Now, the first jokes (sorry, this thread seems a magnet for them):

Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.______________

I can hardly be a vegetarian with things like this:



But I would if she ask me to:

Not precisely vegan but, along those lines

Finally, it seems FA is certainly no vegetarian

Are F1 drivers vegetarian?

By Adam Milleneuve on February 13th, 2009


Why did Alonso cross the road

Some may well be vegetarian but we know who certainly is not - Ask youself - Why did Fernando Alonso cross the road?

Most likely it’s because the chicken wouldn’t.

Fernando loves chicken - he goes on about it all the time. His engineers at Renault must find it most annoying trying to figure out what he’s saying about the car and how it handles around the track when his comments are constantly interrupted by his need to tell us all many times just how much he loves his chicken.

According to the charming Spaniard there are “quick chickens”, “high chickens”, “last chickens” and even more chickens - some chickens you have to be careful of too…

Emerson Fittipaldi describes his diet in this article: http://www.nytimes.com/1991/05/18/sport ... sec=health.

I don't see him mention any meat, or even real dairy. Could even be vegan.

Those ribs look reallllllly good Belatti. Must take hours.

Edit: oh and I just watched the Nando's chicken video, you know it's not nice to make fun of people's accents!

At least 6 hours. The grease melts and falls to the ground, you end eating pure lean meat

In the video, Nando sometimes says "chikan" and not "chicken"

Ahahahahah (or rather ajajajajaj). "whatever it is... but you need to do a quick chiken"

Thanks for the link, most interesting. It does mention poultry/fish. And as someone whose native tongue is spanish, but works in english, surrounded by americans, chinese, french-canadians, and dutch that have a go at spanish etc. I can tell you it's all good fun. They think so themselves

Spot on!!!

I'm Veggie
I think its good if F1 drivers are vegetarian, vegan or only eat fish. Not only is it much healthier, but it is much better for the environment.
An independent study (i.e. not influenced by anyone such as the govenment) showed that 300g of beef produces the same amount of carbon emmissions as driving 200 miles in a V8 land rover discovery. If you took the mpg of a LRD to be about 15mpg. Thats 13 gallons or 60 litres of fuel.
Which would be more beneficial to an F1 team. 300g of beef for one of the drivers dinner, or 60 litres of fuel for one drivers car?

Excellent abbreviation!

I go against a fair amount of what PETA say. I don't even know why they're popular.

I'm not sure there're many vegetarian drivers. I don't think you'd be able to be fully fit without meat, of some kind, in your diet. It provides alot of the proteins that's easy to convert. Also some essential oils and the like.
I know you can take tablets for this but their effectiveness...I'm not so sure.

Not trying to start a debate on vegetarianism here, but I can't see a reason why you'd cut meat out of a diet if you're in a full-on sport like F1.

I'm off for a bacon roll!

Oh but it is, myself I love to mock the Quebecois, when they have to put an "H" before every vowel.
Like the "CH" in the ice at a hockey-game in the Forum, does not mean "Canadiens Hockey", but "Centre Hice".

I don't like the "Swedish Chef" in the Muppets though.

Being Canadian, I see the glaring omission of the H more than it's random occurrances.

Most Quebecois play Ockey. The H gets ommitted. I never really noticed the adding of H to things like ice, hearing hice. Maybe that is the gutteral stop you hear when the "mute H" is forced to 'consonantize' the vowel.

But I also bailed on the language full stop around grade high school's second year.

In the French language, the name of the letter is pronounced /aʃ/. The French language classifies words that begin with this letter in two ways that must be learned to use French properly, even though it is a silent letter either way. The h muet, or "mute h", is considered as though the letter were not there at all, so for example the singular definite article le or la is elided to l'. For example, le + hébergement becomes l'hébergement "the accommodation". The other kind of h is called h aspiré ("aspirated h", though it is not normally aspirated phonetically), and is treated as a phantom consonant. For example in le homard ("the lobster") the article le remains unelided, and may be separated from the noun with a bit of a glottal stop. Most words that begin with an h muet come from Latin (honneur, homme) or from Greek through Latin (hécatombe), whereas most words beginning with an h aspiré come from Germanic (harpe, hareng) or non-Indo-European languages (harem, hamac, haricot); in some cases, an h was added to disambiguate the [v] and semivowel [ɥ] pronunciations before the introduction of the distinction between the letters V and U: huit (from uit, ultimately from Latin octo), huître (from uistre, ultimately from Greek through Latin ostrea).
