David Carter Bio:


David Carter a.k.a. the 300 Pound Vegan. Born in Los
Angeles, CA, David began his success on the football field by
playing college football at his alma mater UCLA, and ultimately
the National Football League. David played for major teams
including the Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, and Dallas
Cowboys. During his professional football career, David
discovered the other side of pro sports; injuries, prescription
medication, and excessive eating to maintain 300 pounds on his 6’
6” frame. One fateful evening, watching the documentary Forks
Over Knives changed his personal and professional life. David
abandoned meat and dairy and embraced a vegan lifestyle.





David has used his NFL connections to spread the word about
his mission to build awareness and educate the masses living in
“food deserts” globally. “Food deserts” are defined as areas
deprived of fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthful whole
foods due to a lack of grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and
healthy food providers. David spoke of “Oppression in the food
system” at many universities around the world including Harvard,
Penn State, NYU, UCLA, and more. David is also a film producer
and participant in leading NETFLIX documentaries Game Changers
(including James Cameron, Bill Clinton, etc.) and What The
Health
