Bill Pearl, nascido em 1930 foi vencedor do concurso de Mr. Universo amador de 1953 e depois venceu na categoria profissional por mais outras três vezes: em 1961, 1967 e 1971. Sua carreira é repleta de muitos sucessos. Autor de livros e criador de um sistema de treinamentos, Bill é uma referência no mundo do fisiculturismo até os dias de hoje.

Mas o motivo pelo qual Bill mais chamou a minha atenção foi o fato de ele ter se tornado lacto-ovo-vegetariano desde os 39 anos de idade. Sim, ele era vegetariano, porém comia derivados do leite/ovo como queijo, iogurte e outros.
