Vegan football player Tony Gonzalez saves a life
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—A California man says Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez of the Kansas City Chiefs kept him from choking to death.[Source]
“Tony saved my life. There’s no doubt,” Ken Hunter, a shipping company manager, told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Huntington Beach, Calif.
“Tony came up behind me and gave me the Heimlich maneuver. Thank God he was there.”
Gonzalez, a nine-time Pro Bowl selection who has set numerous NFL records, was having dinner with his wife, brother and 5-week-old daughter at Capone’s restaurant in Huntington Beach Thursday night. Hunter, 45, was dining with his girlfriend at the next table when suddenly a piece of meat stuck in his throat.
How ironic is that?!? I wonder what Tony was eating? It's hard to eat out when your family isn't vegan. Make sure you read the whole story. It's so interesting that no one else knew what to do. Veggie Power!! That's what my friend Mariela used to say all the time ... ;-)
