I wonder if he was a vegetarian before he put on the size, or if he switched after he already put on the muscle?
That's a good question, Rio. I'm curious myself.
Here's his page about diet, vegetenariasm, etc, but it doesn't make it clear how long he's been doing it.

Looks to be quite a few vegan and vegetarian bodybuilders these days if you search images (then you can just follow to read up on their stories, etc).

I'm not preaching it, but I find it interesting.
Quite a few of them have noticeably leaner physiques, but I actually think it looks better than the traditional swollen bodybuilder look. This guy here is pretty big though, and he doesn't consider himself a bodybuilder (trains for strength).
I guess Scooby doesn't consider himself a bodybuilder either - he does triathlons, which is why he goes easy on the legs.
That Eliot Hulse guy has a good video on it and seems to think it's definitely possible.
Here's Bill Pearl, the guy he mentions in the video. He is a bodybuilder and won 2 Mr. Universe's as a vegetarian. He didn't start out that way but in the pic below he's in his 70s, I believe, and had been a veggie-fiend for 25 years at that point:

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
