This may be old news to some

Recently, I heard Serena Williams on a morning TV show talking about her U.S. Open win.

I don't really pay attention to sports, but something she said caught my interest. She mentioned her sister, Venus, had gone vegan and joked that she calls herself a "chegan," meaning she's not 100% perfect on it.

So, I started looking around and turns out that Venus has been diagnosed with Sjorgen's Syndrome. She's gone vegan in an effort to control her disorder, hoping to keep off meds.

She talked to CBS about it.

As if it really matters to her, I applaud her decision to try to avoid medications that would just cause other issues (such as lupus and arthritis) and go the whole foods route.
