With the danger of sounding like a broken record. Don't forget Joshua Trentine and Randi Roach. Bodybuilding was hit by the fat scare that the rest of the world was struck by. And how could it not. A very aggresive 'supplement' industry was in the engine compartment of this runaway train. I cannot think of any single place or group where this lipid/diet/heart disease hootenanny has done more damage. Massive quantities of protein, often from a shitty source like soymill run-off , as low on fat as possible and boatloads of carbs in the shape of pasta! (Not to forget about the artificial sweeteners which all 'healthy' protein powders contains, all the additives and so on).
Many bodybuilders start out from a health angle and come to love the work out kick/wanna see how far they can go. But health is for the most part at the center of it all. So I think it suddenly struck many that those they hailed as heroes the most, when on stage, were those closest to imeadiate death from heart attack, dehydration etc. And that health hadnt just taken the back seat of "physical culture' but fell of the wagon completely sometime in the late 70's early 80's.
Things are changing. WAP are acknowledged not only a proper Bodybuilders diet but a good diet.
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/depew11.htmIn the various communities (a google search will reveal this, like;
http://ausbb.com/general-topic/9173-raw-meat.html) It is a subject brought up again and again. And it shows that not only are most heavy meat eaters, but the bulk of them eat their meat rare or 'bleu' (raw on the inside). fat is again wieved as very important. Expect to see a sudden burst of raw paleo bodybuilders and crossfit athletes. Its brewing, but 3 decades of relentless conditioning doesnt just go away over night.
