The article currently says,

The Economist in an article writes that some Uruguayans see him as "a roly-poly former guerrilla who grows flowers on a small farm and swears by vegetarianism", but he is not vegetarian.

The source that claims Mujica is not a vegetarian is dubious; it appears to be an opinion piece by someone who opposes the president's lifestyle. The claim contradicts statements made in the article's more neutral sources, including the BBC source, which calls him "the vegetarian Mujica"^[1]. Following the usage guidelines for biographies of living persons, I've removed this claim.

If a native Spanish speaker can provide further guidance about the source, we can move forward with verifying this claim.

I'm a native speaker; the source above actually claims that the claims about him being vegetarian are false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.218.134.13 (talk) 01:48, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of media sources in 2009 when he was being elected described him as a vegetarian, [2], [3], [4], [5] but there are no other sources that go into detail about this. In this recent piece there is no mention of his vegetarianism [6]. I would say it is unlikely he is vegetarian. Looks more like a publicity stunt in 2009.
