Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is a vegan. In an interview with VegNews, Booker explained how his vegan “journey” began in 1992 and culminated with his “last non-vegan meal” on Election Day 2014. It started, in fact, with Gandhi:
I was just coming off from playing varsity football for Stanford, about to start to play varsity basketball for Oxford, and I really believed what Gandhi titled his autobiography, The Story of My Experiments with Truth. So, I tried to experiment with his vegetarian diet and see how I felt. And my body just took off; it was like somebody lifted off a twenty-pound weighted vest. My sleep patterns got better, I felt more energy, better recovery after workouts.
