Kevin Eubanks, famous for his role for many years as the band leader for Jay Leno on the Tonight Show, says that despite a grueling Tonight Show production schedule and extensive touring, he remained faithful to his meatless health regimen.
Kevin’s commitment to a vegetarian lifestyle began way back when he was a student at Boston’s Berklee College of Music.
“I didn’t start eating this way because of concern for animal rights or anything like that,” says Eubanks. “I just couldn’t stand the meat we were getting, and being a broke student, I just gravitated towards fresh fruits, vegetables, grains and some fish.”
Eubanks says though he will not eat meat, he’s not a vegan — he eats non-fat milk-based protein powder, egg whites and fish.
