NFL star Arian Foster has chosen what many consider “a healthier lifestyle.” The Houston Texans’ star running back did not go into great detail about why he chose to suddenly become a vegan. Foster announced his new eating habits via Twitter which later caused an uproar among his fans. ESPN reports:

Less than a month before training camps open, Houston Texans star Arian Foster says he’s gone vegan.

Foster, who has 32 total touchdowns in three NFL seasons, made the announcement on Twitter last week.

“Officially a vegan now. We’ll see how this goes. But week one down. So far, so good. Feels wonderful,” the 6-foot-1, 229-pound running back said of giving up any form of animal products.
