Fielder re-thinks decision to go vegetarian after learning vegetarians don't eat pork or beef

Beefy Brewers first baseman Prince "Fatty" Fielder made headlines last week when he announced he'd gone vegetarian. He's now re-thinking that decision after learning vegetarians don't eat meat at all.

"I thought vegetarians just ate a lot of vegetables," said Fielder. "I didn't know they never, ever eat any meat whatsoever. That's pretty harsh."

Fielder said he's felt great since going what he thought was vegetarian, but that was before he realized he had to skip his normal intake of three hamburgers, two pork chops and two steaks a day. Now he feels sick to his stomach.

"I had doubled my broccoli intake," said Fielder. "It goes great with most any hearty helping of beef, pork, chicken or veal."
