His wife, Barbette, has been vegetarian for the past 12 years. “I told him after the last one leaves for college this fall we are going all veggie. He decided to go ahead and make the change now. He has been working so hard and he looks and feels great,” she said. Babette supplements their diet with soy products to make sure they get their protein. Dave says he also enjoys the spices and fresh flavors of Mediterranean cooking.
