One of the best body builder in the world: Franco Columbu

        Franco Columbu began his athletic career at age of 14 in the island of Sardinia where he was born. Believe it or not, his main interests were boxing and football. At the small gym where he began training everyone was saying that "athletes must eat better than most of the people if they want to be outstanding". They believe that every good boxer and soccer player should start the day with three or four eggs for breakfast preferably eaten raw. Also rated high on their list of essential foods were fish and horse meat. The value of horse meat was based on the notion that eating it became as strong as enduring as the animal itself.
