PBN‘s Peter
Wintrip sat down with London Real host Brian Rose this month to discuss his
recent foray into plant-based eating – and his upcoming Ironman competition.
Ironmind
The host of
the web-based talk show was inspired to do the extreme 70.3-mile triathalon by
punk rock legend John Joseph, a committed vegan, Ironman athlete, and author of
Meat Is For Pussies.
The events
leading up to Rose’s race are being documented, and shared on YouTube, in a
series London Real is calling Ironmind.
‘Only
plants’
Rose does
not call himself a vegan but is committed to the his change in diet, which his family has joined him in, until the upcoming race.
In this PBN
exclusive, he told Wintrip: “Yeah, I’m eating only plants.
“That’s really
what I am right now.”
‘The
other issues’
Previous
guests on London Real include animal advocate and parkour athlete Tim Shieff,
and world-renowned vegan activist James Aspey – both of whom spread messages that
keep Rose curious.
He told
Wintrip: “I don’t know how I feel about the animals and all of that.
“But I
think when you eat a lot of plants you do start to think about what’s happening
to the animals in a dairy situation, or even eating them – so, I wouldn’t say I’m
not thinking about some of the other issues that go along with veganism.”
