John Salley - not just a basketball star

Celebrities That Are Going Veg for Turkey Day
Turkey Day is this Thursday but the fact of the matter is that it doesn't have to be about the turkey at all. This year more and more people are giving up turkeys for the big day. Ellen DeGeneres is the spokesperson for Farm Sanctuary's Adopt-A-Turkey Project, an annual program that asks us to think twice before planning this year's meal.


John Salley, 4-time NBA Champion and wellness guru had this to say:


Turkeys are among the most abused animals on earth. The horrors these smart, sensitive birds routinely endure behind closed doors on our nation's factory farms, all so that their tortured bodies can be the centerpiece of a holiday celebration about gratitude, are appalling and incongruent with most Americans' values of compassion.
Now if I can get the rest of my family to agree...tofurkey would be a great replacement!
