Baconfact!

While on the subject of Canada, it seems that a new report from the Great White North has some interesting insight into the power of delicious meats.  According to the study, 43% of Canadians prefer bacon to sex.  Is Canadian sex that bad or is bacon that good?  I like to think that bacon is just that good.

Vegetarian of the future!

And in unrelated news:  water is wet, winter is cold and the sky is blue.  Of course vegetarians have smaller brains, how else to explain their insane diet?  According to an article on Signs of the Times, written by Unvegan Hero Barry Groves, so much of brain size is determined by fat intake.  As he says, “About half our brain and nervous system is composed of complicated, long-chain, fatty acids.”  Plants don’t have these fatty acids and our bodies aren’t exactly capable of making them ourselves.  But you know what are capable of producing these fatty acids?  Dumb herbivores.

Do you have trouble sleeping?  If so, it may be time to re-evaluate your diet.  A study published in Medical News Online revealed that carnivores sleep more than omnivores and herbivores.  This doesn’t exactly surprise an unvegan who still regularly sleeps for 12 hours on the weekends, but may come as a surprise to someone who struggles with sleeping.

A Biblical Valentine

Let's get biblical.

This year I got biblical for Valentine’s Day.  No, not like that you sicko.  Instead of having a boring, fancy meal with my girlfriend, we decided to get cooking.  And not just any kind of cooking, we decided to use Lobel’s Meat Bible, which was sent to me by Chronicle Books a few months ago for free.  I knew this book would be incredible just based on the cover, but the back cover really sealed the deal for me because it says, “Armed with Lobel’s Meat Bible, carnivores will find themselves with more delectable meaty choices than ever before.”  Mmmm meaty choices.
