Poor Bryan, winning an award from Peta means additional 100 years in purgatory.

He got it because he is vegan.

How the hell does he build muscle from a vegan diet? Not saying he’s jacked, but he is pretty buff considering he eats no meat or animal products.

  some vegan foods do have at least adequate amounts of protein, beans i know do.

    Yes, beans are high in protein, as are nuts.

    Yeah, their full of "air" too. Beans, their good for your heart. The more you eat the more you…you know!

  He once tweeted a photo of how he puts on mass. LOADS of protein supplements. I'm not a bodybuilder so I don't know how many is considered standard for such a line of work, but it looked like quite a lot.
