Tune in for part 2 of our 2-part episode with actor, NBA star and vegan activist John Salley, where we discuss his thoughts on milk, the Paleo diet and politics, and his new documentary “The Missing Peace”. We also tease out some of John’s favorite things.“Not my mother, not my milk” — John is a strong advocate against drinking cow’s milk, and you may well decide to avoid it when you hear his convincing arguments! His views on the paleo diet are equally powerful. “We were farmers”, he says, “not hunter-gatherers… They think the Flintstones is real!” Don’t miss his recommendation for a new vegan cheese that has even the most dedicated pizza lovers fooled.
John’s consciousness stems from his becoming a vegan, and he lives his life by that choice, from the foods he chooses to eat and the products he uses. He compares his body to a 1964 Mustang, saying “Keep it sexy” — there’s no reason to let the body become inflamed and diseased. John’s body is his universe and he takes excellent care of it through a super healthy diet. This episode is filled to the brim with fascinating topics; John blew our minds with his views on the pharmaceutical industry, politics and propaganda. He also shares with us some of his favorite things, from toothpaste to cooking oil, teammates and movies, not to mention the surprising secret to his dog’s longevity!
