Whoa! John Salley just called a few players out!

Charles Barkley, Rich Mahorn, and Patrick Ewing to be exact.

These are the guys Salley thinks suffer “excessive meat consumption,” and could stand to go for veggie rehab!

From the Huffington Post:

“Most athletes have no idea how to eat. Most athletes have no idea that they’re suffering — proven fact. When you look at guys with bodies like Charles Barkley, Rich Mahorn, Patrick Ewing — you see how big Patrick Ewing’s gotten? They think when you get older you get fat. That’s not true. Not true. So it has to be that they can’t develop they can’t get rid of the … (pauses) … I went to a couple of these guys and told them I would help them.”

Oh, no he didn’t. But he should be.

On Why He Went Vegan
“I was a vegetarian until I realized that — how can I say — I don’t eat the animal but I eat the things that come out of the animal’s ass; the egg. I mean, people eat the spoiled milk of a cow that a calf won’t even eat. I mean a cow won’t even drink that and I’m feeding it to my kids? That’s crazy. So I decided I wasn’t doing that. I gave that up.”

Emily Deschanel, Rory Freedman Share Vegan Earth Day Date Idea

Happy Earth Day! Do you have big plans?

Bones actress Emily Deschanel and Skinny Bitch author Rory Freedman described to Chloe Jo of the Girlie Girl Army their idea of the perfect Earth Day friend date.

It involves trapezes and vegan food. Hopefully, they’d wait awhile after eating the vegan food and getting on the trapeze.

Rory Freedman: First stop: trapeze school on the Santa Monica pier! It’s one version of man-made fun that doesn’t leave any carbon footprint. You swing around in the air confronting your fear of heights and bodily harm. It’s an amazing workout where you get to be outside, enjoy the fresh air, see the ocean, feel young, and get manhandled by hot guys. When we’re done playing Circus of the Stars, we can go stuff our faces at Golden Mean Cafe, the new vegan spot in Santa Monica that’s all the buzz. The food is ridiculously good, there’s an upstairs mediation/reading room, the space is really Zen (the walls are infused with crushed quartz crystal, selenite, mica, gold, and incense), and the owner and head chef couldn’t be sweeter.

Emily Deschanel: Ooh I can’t wait! I’ve been dying to do trapeze school, and I haven’t been to that restaurant yet!! You know we both love vegan food!!! I wonder what the crystals in the walls will do for us.. We’ll probably feel all centered and new-age-y.
