Heroes and Villains


Natalie Portman: Unvegan Hero

April 13th, 2011 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Back off, Darth Vegan.

As a fellow member of the Chosen People, Natalie Portman has always been pretty special in the Jewish world.  At some point in their lives, every Jewish male has had a thing for her.  And I know it’s not just limited to members of the tribe.  Yet, Jew or not, the day Natalie Portman converted to veganism something inside of me died.

Tim Lincecum: Unvegan Hero

March 31st, 2011 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Running towards meat or pitching?

In honor of baseball’s opening day, while former Giant Barry Bonds may be in the headlines for ingesting or injecting some improper substances, I take great faith in current Giant Tim Lincecum for ingesting the most proper substance of all:  anything but vegetables. Continue Reading»


Detroit Tigers: Unvegan Heroes

March 10th, 2011 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Mmm tiger meat. Wait what?

By virtue of being both from Detroit and being named after my favorite animal, the Detroit Tigers are worthy of any hero-ship you can dream of.  But a story published by The Detroit News has given the best baseball team in the world another reason to be heroes. Continue Reading»

Remember the glory days where sports and meat were almost synonymous?  Today, it seems like those days are slowly passing us by.  It started with PETA making up some dumb award for the most vegetarian-friendly ballparks, and has continued through this day. Continue Reading»


Alice Cooper: Unvegan Hero

January 4th, 2011 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

I think he might eat Miss Piggy.

Born in the great state of Michigan, the man called Alice Cooper already had my support.  But on top of that, his music like “School’s Out” and “I’m Eighteen” really hit the spot during certain periods in my life.  Now that I am basking in the meat-filled period of my life, Alice Cooper has done one more thing to earn my support.

Sarah Palin: Unvegan Hero

December 21st, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Surprised at being a hero?

It almost pains me to consider Sarah Palin as a hero of anything, yet for her stance on meat, she is most certainly an Unvegan Hero.  Unless you’ve been living in a hole for the past two and a half years, you know that Sarah Palin is an avid hunter and meat eater.  We’ve all heard the stories, but it wasn’t until a recent episode of Sarah Palin’s Alaska that the world got to see it for themselves.

Tasha: Unvegan Hero

November 23rd, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Who is this mysterious unvegan?

Once upon a time, there was a blog called The Voracious Vegan.  For those who know the English language pretty well, they will recognize that voracious means the desire of large quantities of food.  This is pretty appropriate for a vegan, because I can’t imagine any amount of that sort of food can be filling.  In fact, after 3.5 years of a vegan diet, The Voracious Vegan herself, Tasha, also found this out.

David Letterman: Unvegan Hero

October 8th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Mmm raw meat.

On Monday, Bruce Willis appeared on Letterman wearing a meat hairpiece.  It made him look like a deranged member of Devo, but was certainly a step up from any regular hairpiece.  After watching the beginning of the video, I was almost ready to make Willis an Unvegan Hero, but that soon changed.

Jeff McMahan: Unvegan Villain

September 21st, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

The face of death.

Is this the face of death?  In a word, yes.  Behind the eyes of this simple-looking old man is a brain filled with hatred.  And hatred for whom?  Carnivores.  But he does not simply hate human carnivores, but carnivores of all types. Continue Reading»


Lady Gaga: Unvegan Hero

September 14th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

She's so meaty.

OK come on.  This one’s really a no-brainer.  Sunday night was the MTV Video Music Awards.  I’m not entirely sure that the event is relevant anymore, but what is relevant is the dress that Lady Gaga chose to wear. Continue Reading»


Beer Me Some Breckenridge Agave Wheat

The taste of skiing?

Colorado is definitely a beer state, and not just because Coors comes from the Rocky Mountain State.  No, it is also home to New Belgium (of Fat Tire fame) and seemingly countless other micro and craft breweries.  While in Breckenridge for a ski weekend, I decided I had to at least try one of these, and because it turned out to be the only one available at dinner, my choice happened to come from the creatively named Breckenridge Brewery.  The brewery, by the way, is actually no longer in Breckenridge, having expanded and moved to Denver in 1992.
