Kendrick Farris is the only US competitor for the 2016 Summer Olympics in men’s weightlifting. He is also a vegan. Here’s Farris in competition.

“I really don’t know what happened to me,” Farris said in an interview with KTBS . “My son was born almost two years ago; he was born in September 2014 and something happened where I was like, ‘I’m just seeing the whole thing.’ So I’m like, ‘I need to do something different.’ Like how do you get back to what is the most purest form of our life, our being, and it started with the food.”
