Jay Z

El rapero anunció en su blog Life + Times que a partir del 3 de diciembre (un día antes de su cumpleaños número 44) empezaría una dieta vegana (o a base de plantas como dice él) por 22 días. Esto debido a que un amigo suyo vegano lo retó a que lo hiciera para que viera la diferencia en su vida. Dijo también que su esposa, Beyoncé, le haría segunda en el proceso.

“On December 3rd, one day before my 44th birthday, I will embark on a 22-day challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant based!! This all began a few months back when a good friend and vegan challenged me to embrace a ‘plant-based breakfast’ every day. It was surprisingly easier on me than I thought, why now? There’s something spiritual to me about it being my 44th birthday, and the serendipity behind the number of days in this challenge – 22 (2+2=4) – coupled with the fact that the challenge ends on Christmas day … It just feels right!

So you can call it a spiritual and physical cleanse. I will post my progress … Any professional vegans out there that have any great food spots please help out! … I don’t know what happens after Christmas. A semi-vegan [or] a full plant-based diet? Or just a spiritual and physical challenge? We’ll see … “
