Most of what I do up here on unvegan.com is all in good fun. Yeah, I love my meat and while you might think vegetables are the thing I hate most in the world, they are not. In fact, I hate a lot of things more than vegetables (usually Ohio State). Right now, one of those things is Monsanto. Continue Reading»


Smile for Meat

March 30th, 2012 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Say cheese and eat!

We humans have a luxury of constantly trying to make ourselves happy. I say luxury, because we are pretty much the only species to do so. All those other suckers are busy trying to survive and reproduce. Fortunately, red meat is one of those things that makes us happy. Continue Reading»


Straws. Now with Beef!

Drink up!

What’s that you say? You’re not getting enough beef in your diet? Join the club! But luckily, there is hope. We all know you can’t just go around eating steak all the time. Sure, it would taste delicious and you would live a long life, but it’s expensive at restaurants and tiresome to cook all the time. Fortunately, there are now beef straws! Continue Reading»


Bulgarians Love Meat

January 11th, 2012 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

More meat, Mr. Khan?

While some people still try to claim that meat is bad for you, I think just about everyone across the spectrum of vegetarianism can agree that meat is unquestionably healthier than cigarettes.  So when I read an article entitled “Meat Displaces Cigarettes from Bulgarians’ Diet,” I was nearly as happy as Khan Krum must have been when his Bulgarians defeated the Byzantines at the Battle of Pliska.

Meet Horse Meat

December 2nd, 2011 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Sitting on a pile of food.

What’s your favorite type of meat?  Is it beef, chicken or pork?  Or maybe it’s something cool and exotic like venison or rattlesnake?  What about horse?  Didn’t think about that one, did you?  Not exactly exotic, but also not exactly meat to most Americans.  Now, though, thanks to a little slip of legislation, the slaughter of horses for meat has been legalized in the USA.

Vegans Keep Killing Babies

September 19th, 2011 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

How could you kill a thing like this?

It’s happened before, and once again the vegans have used their love of vegetables to kill a baby.  Last time, it was the French, but now the vegans have brought baby killing into America.  Now, the baby-killing may have occurred in 2004, but just last week the killers were convicted of their heinous crime.

An Unvegan Twitter War

Is this the face of unvegan hatred?

It began with a simple Twitter @ reply.  You know the kind that happens every day.  But soon it spiraled into something no one could have ever seen coming. Continue Reading»


Do Burgers, Not Drugs

August 3rd, 2011 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Crime doesn't pay. Except in burgers.

I don’t do drugs, but if I did I wonder how upset I would be if I were Timethy Delarrance Morrison.  Morrison recently attempted to buy some pot, but when he opened his bag of contraband he instead found a bunch of hamburger meat.  Maybe the dealer accidentally swapped his bag of munchies with pot, but Morrison was not amused.

Save the Bacon!

Save us!

Debt ceiling got you down?  War and instability in the Middle East making you feel unloved?  Casey Anthony getting away with murder pissing you off?  I get it, the world is having some problems, but such problems are nothing compared to the biggest problem the world is currently facing:  Bacon Prices.  Cue the wailing.

Lab Meat

June 29th, 2011 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Moo!

I’ve reported on on in-vitro meat before, and now it seems that dream of death-less meat is closer than ever.  According to the Times of India, this lab meat could even be ready in a year.  Yeah, that’s pretty soon.  Apparently the key is stem cells. Continue Reading»


Going Global at Plan Check

Fries of the world.

A couple of weeks ago, The Backyard Bite invited me to The Burger Culture Clash, sponsored by Stussy (which apparently still exists) and Plan Check. Plan Check, by the way, is a sort of new (since February) restaurant in West LA with Chef Ernesto Uchimura of Umami Burger fame. As my love of burgers, especially those of the umami variety, I jumped at the opportunity.

Although I arrived alone, I was not the only lone eater. Just next to where I was seated, I met e*star LA and we decided to share a meal called loneliness, because it’s better than eating alone. We made quick friends over our respective blogs and Midwestern roots, then got to work at dissecting the special menu, which Plan Check will be featuring for the next month if anything tickles your fancy.
