Food of champions

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: Your canine crusader reckons vegan activists around the world will have choked on their mung beans reading about the secret behind the New Zealand athletes' medal-winning success at the recent Commonwealth Games.

Apparently it was all down to beef and lamb, with the Alliance Group as the official supplier to the New Zealand team for the games in Birmingham.

Alliance's Shane Kingston said the meat co-op supplied its 'award-winning' Pure South beef and lamb range and Lumina lamb for the protein-packed meals for the New Zealand athletes - as well as their entourages and delegated.

"It's no surprise our Commonwealth Games' athletes turned to New Zealand beef and lamb to give them the boost they need," he said. "Lean, red meat is nature's power pack - delivering a lot, in a little."

And as the NZ team's medal laden success shows - no one could argue with that!
