Semi-OT? Tom Brady partnering with company to provide meal delivery service

Submitted by Ahriman on

Tom Brady is partnering with Purple Carrot to provide home delivery of vegan meals based on the diet he adheres to with his TB12 company. I remember Coach Harbaugh had talked about partnering with Brady at some point regarding TB12 and perhaps having a location in Ann Arbor.

The meals are supposed to be gluten-free, high in protein, and low in sugar. Doesn't sound very good, but hey, he's in pretty good shape. It's supposed to cost $78 for 2 people and 3 meals per week (which is on par with other delivery services).

As a matter of my recovery from my cardiomyopathy, they wanted me to taken a diet not dissimilar to this, and I did and I've kept it for the most part. It isn't so bad really, but that's just opinion

John Pinette once said: I'm not sure what gluten is, but I'm pretty sure it's delicious. All joking aside more power to Tom in this. It's a fantastic idea and I know at least 3 friends I'd recommend it too.

That's not the same.  To get 33 grams of protein it is probably using a protein powder.  If it's a crappy brand, probably soy.  If it's a good brand, rice or pea protein.  You don't find those ratios in whole foods.  And I got the impression he was selling whole foods, not protein powders.

Tom Brady has arguably been the most refined and forward-thinking athlete about his body and diet than anyone else in his athletic generation. The man is going to be 40, the best to ever play in the league regardless of position and an absolute icon. Why wouldn't his regimen be successful and fill a huge market gap? Nearly-MRE's exist at a lot of price points but none at this high level with this specific positioning. He's firmly entrenching himself and he will get a considerable base, IF the food is good.
