In recent years, there has been observed a dynamic shift in eating patterns in society. This has entered the sports world too, with more and more sports entities going vegan. The crowd has grown heavy with names such as NFL star Tom Brady and “Austrian Oak” Arnold Schwarzenegger. One of the latest names to join the Vegan cause is the soccer star, Alex Morgan.

Morgan turned to veganism in 2017 and hasn’t looked back. This soccer queen is highly active in the cause of animal protection and was awarded The Most Beautiful Vegan by PETA in 2019. Morgan is a mother and according to a 2019 interview, she wants to set an example of animal protection, urging people to be loving but not selectively.
