In the world of entertainment and sport, there are many personalities who have chosen to become the spokesperson of a cruelty-free and sustainable food regime, which is precisely veganism. Therefore, today, we have decided to devote some space exactly to the ten stars of the sports world - identified by the English tabloid Mirror - who follow a vegan diet and with the motivations that have led the athletes to embrace this lifestyle.
Let's find out who they are:
