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.

Jonathan Mann is known for writing a different song each day, making anywhere from $100-$500 for the projects he does for other people, including one for Steve Jobs to explain what to do if you don’t like your iphone dropping calls.

Mann, a vegan, has penned song #810 titled, “Vegan Myths Debunked,” where he sings a duet with Ivory King discussing where to get protein, calcium and answers all the questions omnivores asks like, “Then, why I do I have these teeth,” referring to the assumption human mouths are best designed to tear meat apart.
