Marshmallow Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I knew he was a health nut and ran, like, 5 miles a day. But I didn't know he was a veggie. He's listed on just about every vegetarian website as a "famous vegetarian." Sometimes they spell his name wrong. And usually still refer to him as Buffalo Bills head coach. Here's his vegetarian quote... "When I was 12, I went hunting with my father and we shot a bird. He was laying there and something struck me. Why do we call this fun to kill this creature [who] was as happy as I was when I woke up this morning. " --Marv Levy Sorry if this has been discussed before.
UConn James Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I respect Marv for the job he does. I respect that he chooses to kill vegetables when he needs to eat. There that lettuce was, growing in the ground until someone came along and lopped its head off just so he could have nourishment. I would also expect, as smart as he is, that he accepts that other people have different views.
Buftex Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I remember, vaugely, Marv making some anti-gun reference when he was the HC, and getting some flack for it....I always respected him for it. I seem to remember his name being linked to some anti-gun group that took out an ad in some publication, which offended the NRA somehow...I just can't remember all the details. I am sure he has accepted the fact that others like to eat meat, and shoot guns...I would hazard to guess that a good percentage of the players in the NFL are hunters....
SACKMARINO Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 marv is also an animal activist and is against rodeo's. here is a letter he wrote. http://www.bucktherodeo.com/levylet.gif
RayFinkle Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I heard he drives a Prius too. You all know what that means....
Lurker Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I am sure he has accepted the fact that others like to eat meat, and shoot guns...I would hazard to guess that a good percentage of the players in the NFL are hunters.... 714416[/snapback] Ya think....
Dibs Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I've just finished reading his autobiography & he doesn't mention it at all. The only mention to anything of that nature is his views about hunting(which are negative). He mentions going out to dinner & eating a fair bit but no mention of excluding meat. He also seems extraordinarily fair minded. The sort of man who can argue fiercely on a topic yet walk away with respect for others views.
Albany,n.y. Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Marv used to eat meat until he saw what it did to Mike Williams.

It was a minor thing and they both moved on, as I recall. Marv's veggie status is just another reason to love him.
SACKMARINO Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 How many vegitarians (Marv Levy's) does it take to change a lightbulb? Two, one to change it and one to check for animal ingredients.
nodnarb Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 marv is also an animal activist and is against rodeo's. here is a letter he wrote. http://www.bucktherodeo.com/levylet.gif 714421[/snapback] I'd keep that letter as far away from Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay as possible.
Coach Tuesday Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Marv's veggie status is just another reason to love him. 714518[/snapback] Yeah us vegetarians are nasty, horrible people who want to take away your right to eat like a caveman.
SACKMARINO Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 its amazing marv has been married as long as he has, not "eating" meat and all
Buftex Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 its amazing marv has been married as long as he has, not "eating" meat and all 714535[/snapback] He doesn't mind other people eating meat!
jarthur31 Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Marv used to eat meat until he saw what it did to Mike Williams. 714472[/snapback] FLMAO!!! I thought he ate opposing linemen and inhaled scrawny DB's?

Dwight Drane Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 "Rodeo is something that Americans should be ashamed of, a part of America's past that should be put behind us. It celebrates a pathetic view of the "Wild West." Such inhumane "reenactments" should be illegal and disdained, not celebrated as "cultural events."" Rodeo=Football Wild West=Gladiators Marv=soft, pink and squishy
Olaf Fub Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 In Marv's workout video on the Bills site, Chris Brown specifically says in his report that Marv does eat "red meat". It does not metion anything about Marv being a vegatarian. See "Unbounded Enthusiasm" on page 3
frogger Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I respect Vegetarians, but i love eating cow and pig. if he eats any meet it would have to be chicken or fish..no pork, he's jewish
