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.

Rory Freedman and John Salley are headlining the Michigan VegFest, a taste fest and expo hosted by VegMichigan, folks who were no doubt proud of their governor’s latest initiative to officially invite residents to participate in Meat Out Day.

The event will take place from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Sunday, April 18 at Ferndale High School and will feature food from local restaurants, cooking and raw food demonstrations, prizes and more.

Former Piston and TV personality Salley is back by demand after his appearance last year drew a record breaking 2,000 fans, according to the Daily Tribune.

Combining Salley’s presence with Freedman, who will likely draw a crowd who follow her based on her best selling book, Skinny Bitch, let’s hope this year’s fest is the biggest!
