Quotes by Molly Cameron:
| "When I turned 15 or 16 I realized that I did not have to eat meat, so I stopped. I went Vegan the same year I got into bike racing: 1999. I was living in San Francisco and started racing on the track and lived with a bunch of vegans. To be honest, I never really liked eating animal products. It was just always in stuff I would eat. Y'know: burritos have cheese, pizza has cheese. But once I was surrounded by people who showed me that there were options, I stopped eating animal products right away. I was really motivated to start taking responsibility for what I put in my body." |
| When asked about her experience as a vegan athlete and whether she has noticed any performance or health benefits or problems, she answered: |
| "Certainly no problems. If anything, eating organic and whole food keeps my energy level and mental focus consistent. It is the logical step when living a super active and conscious lifestyle. Sometimes you have a hard time finding truly healthy vegan food on the road but, you can always hit a grocery store and whip something up." |
Quotes are from her interview with OrganicAthlete.
