Vegetarian Star

Since Mike Tyson embarked on a vegan diet, losing over 100 pounds in the process, he doesn’t even want to smell meat aromas.

That includes on someone’s breath.

Tyson shared this with the New York Times, while adding he wants nothing in his body that “that’s going to enrage me — no processed food, no meat.”

We already know vegetables can make your armpits smell nicer. Conversely, animal products like meat, dairy and eggs may leave your mouth hungry for a mint or two.

John Salley is scheduled to make an appearance at Michigan’s VegFest taking place this Saturday on March 27 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

He stopped by the studio at WJBK to discuss his career in the NBA and the changes that led him to a vegan lifestyle.

Salley was asked if he missed “the porter steak” every once in awhile.

“I don’t miss a dead animal ever,” Salley said. “I don’t think an animal has to die for me to live”

Salley then went into the details of his family history with diabetes and his own problems with cholesterol that were solved when he stopped eating animal products.

“That porterhouse–you keep eating that dead animal–it’s going to kill you,” said Salley.

Activists have written to the president of the International Cricket Council, Sharad Pawar, asking him to replace the traditional leather balls used during the game with synthetic ones.

“As the so-called “Gentleman’s game,” cricket should be gentle on animals and the environment by making the switch to synthetic balls. You are in a unique position to create a change that would alleviate massive suffering and destruction,” PETA official Poorva Joshipura wrote.

Activists say not only is the use of leather causing animals to suffer, but people as well, as there are toxic chemicals used in the tanning process that pollute the environment.

In Banglasdesh, more than 90% of workers in tanning factories suffer from a severe physical malady from the exposure. These illnesses range from the acute such as asthma to serious, life-threatening diseases like cancer. Chemicals such as chromium, known for their toxicities, are regularly dumped into nearby streams and get into water supplies.

In the U.S., the equivalent sport king that uses so much leather is football. Ever wonder how many cows go into the balls used by the NFL?

Hard to imagine a year in America without football season, but if players and owners can’t come to an agreement, we might say kiss off to kick-off.

And that may be good for chickens and the environment.

According to NFL Lockout, each NFL city could potentially lose $160 million dollars and 115 thousand jobs would be affected if football season is cancelled.

One of those businesses involves chicken wings.

New evidence that Americans are interested in eating less meat or adopting a plant-based diet has appeared in one of America’s favorite pastimes, baseball.

Fifth Third Ballpark, located in Comstock Park, Michigan, a suburb of Grand Rapids and home to the minor league baseball team West Michigan Whitecaps, is adding a veggie and hummus plate to its concession stand menu called “Chicks With Sticks.”

The dish beat out the meaty “Lollipop Bologna,” “Duck Frog Hot Dog” and “The Meat Salad” in a vote by Whitecaps fans.
