He Should Have Gone Vegan a Long Time Ago:
“Oh my God, if I was a vegan when I should have done this thing, man? I remember when I became a vegetarian and my game changed. I couldn’t imagine if I was a vegan back when I was playing. The thing about the NBA, any pro sport, is, guys don’t know how to take care of their body.”

“I was eating cheese and fish and drinking milk. At Thanksgiving, I was eating fried turkey or lobster or shrimp. That’s not a vegetarian. A vegetarian eats vegetation. … Even though fish comes out of the ocean, it’s not a vegetable. If you’re a vegetarian you only eat things that are vegetation or made from vegetation. Off the tree, out of the ground or out of a pod.”

—John Salley, on his current more truthful vegetarian days.
