This t-shirt is now on my birthday list!
"The worker has the right to leave his boss, but can she do it? And if she does quit him, is it in order to lead a free life; where she will have no master but herself? No, she leaves to sell herself to another employer. She's driven by the same hunger. Thus the worker's liberty is only a theoretical freedom, lacking any means of realization; an utter falsehood."

I've been pretty hypocritical with my eating habits vs. my words in the past. Actions speak louder than words so I'm going vegetarian.

looks like he is not a vegan
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304314404576414124184873028.html#printMode

Experts say he is the first cyclist to attempt the most difficult bike race in the world sans meat, dairy or eggs. (He will cheat slightly, he says, because he plans to eat small amounts of salmon two days per week to increase iron absorption).


Zabriskie also consulted with a professional motorcycle racer, Ben Bostrom, also a vegan, who advised Zabriskie to include small amounts of fish a couple of times a week because of the incredibly large load he puts on his body during training. "He told me, don't get too hung up on the word 'vegan'," says Zabriskie. The fish, Zabriskie says, helps his body absorb certain vitamins and iron.

Yeah, I just saw that too.... fantastic. :roll:

If he hadn't been so full of self-promotion about going vegan it wouldn't be such a big deal but now I find it rather annoying. Great that he is doing what he is doing; however it's rather unfortunate he is using it to spread more misinformation.

My DZ Vegan revolution tee may have to go into the rag pile.

Now the question is.... do i remove him from my tour de france fantasy team!

Is this really the toughest race in the world? I prefer the tour divide, which is completely unsupported mtb race from canada to mexico.

Arse! Yeah don't get too hung up on the "vegan" word Dave. Want some meat and dairy products to go with that Salmon? Like fish is really going to make a huge difference :roll: That guy needs to find some new "vegan" friends and mentors :x

fucking wanker... someone should tell him (and his "mentor") straight. then again, this is the risk with people turning to veganism for health reasons, they don't really care about the ethical dimension so adding fish or meat doesn't really bother them as long as they believe it's still healthy. :roll: this is why I don't trust health vegans...

Agree. Being a "health vegan" doesn't even make sense... veganism is about abstaining from all animal products, and there is no reason to stop buying leather for health reasons.

Really disappointed that Dave Z isn't vegan anymore, it almost does more harm than good because now people think, "oh, being a vegan makes it impossible to do sports, even Dave Zabriskie had to eat fish...". Not to mention that he is still claiming to be vegan, which just adds to the confusion that people have over the term.

BikeSnob NYC had an interesting take on it all: http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/2011/06 ... almon.html
