well, [obviously!] its not true.

  2. Jason Lester is vegan! He's an Ironman and ultramarathon athlete, creator of the Epic5 Challenge, and currently running and bicycling his way across the United States. I'm pretty sure that he's reaching his fitness goals without the help of animal-based foods just fine.

    (Although it is interesting that you bring this up; I hadn't really thought about it but I definitely have guy friends who buy into the whole "meat = macho man" idea now that I think about it.)
