trucker1ropti-7132286Bobby Andersen has been making a splash on social media lately after he began posting photos of his 100% plant-based meals.

While sharing photos of one’s meals is nothing new on the Internet, the twist here is that Andersen is a long-haul trucker who has been driving five to six days a week, 11 hours a day, for the last 21 years.
