James’ durability is well known. To call him the most durable athlete of all time isn’t too hot a take. After logging more minutes than anyone not named Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, LeBron shows no signs of slowing down. To keep his body in incredible shape, James reportedly spends millions of dollars on his training and nutrition. That level of dedication to his diet has also allowed James to gain a deep understanding of the food industry. So, when USDA announced its decision, James was in shock.
