John Salley was recently interview by fellow vegan and journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell about his trip with New York city students to see Avatar, where he later discussed the benefits of a vegetarian diet on the Earth and ate a vegetarian meal with the children.
Jane and John talked about his mission to get America’s kids healthier and to combat obesity.
Maybe the answer is to feed children what they need and not what they want.
“They put vegetarian food in front of them when they were hungry. Some of them booed. Some of them awed. But at the end of it, they all were fed well,” Salley said.
John gets into the number of animals killed for food and makes a statement about how despite these millions, there is still poverty worldwide–indicating protein may not be the best way to feed the people.
