Vegetarian Star

The Hornets’ George Shinn sat down for dinner at a famous steakhouse, Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse in the French quarter and ate nothing but meat free items–a stuffed bell pepper, mushrooms and a salad medley with sliced apples.

Shinn set an example for a few Hornets fans who won the opportunity to have lunch with the basketball star.

Shinn embarked on a meatless diet on the advice of his wife, Denise, who insisted after he received a diagnosis of prostate cancer.

It’s been 11 weeks since the surgery to remove the cancerous prostate at Johns Hopkins Medical Institute and Shinn couldn’t feel better.

Is it luck that he found something delicious to eat at a steakhouse of all places?

Maybe it’s the result of giving the customer what he wants.

Shinn said that if a restaurant doesn’t adapt to his lifestyle, then, “I don’t go there.”

Spoken like a true superstar!

George Shinn, owner of the New Orleans Hornets, is recovering from surgery after having a cancerous prostate gland removed, according to Nola.

“Following (Wednesday’s) successful surgery to completely remove the cancer, Mr. Shinn will begin the process to a full and speedy recovery and is anxious to return to the Hive to watch his team play and enjoy the recent success the team is experiencing, ” Hornets team spokesman Harold Kaufman said in a statement.

After being diagnosed, Shinn changed his lifestyle dramatically by going vegetarian and losing 32 pounds.

Will Shinn’s change of diet prevent another cancer in the future?

Some believe so.

Dr Naomi Allen, an epidemiologist at Oxford University and co-author of a study examining cancer rates of vegetarian and those that ate meat, said: “This is strong evidence that vegetarians have lower rates of cancer than meat eaters.

Shinn’s doctor, Dr. Patrick Walsh of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institute said the surgery team removed 100% of the cancer and Shinn is expected to make a full recovery.
