Olympian Kendrick Yahcob Farris is one of the strongest American athletes. But the fuel propelling him to Rio is a bit surprising. "My son was born almost two years ago 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," said Farris who will be making his third appearance in the Olympics in August. On Facebook he wrote about his decision to go vegan: "I'm happy to report my life has changed for the better I feel like a new person."
