Vegan Pictures (With a Side of Meat)

April 18th, 2011 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Because vegan food doesn't look good enough.

It’s a vegan-eat-vegan world out there today (although not literally, because that would be decidedly unvegan) and if you’re one of those meat haters, it’s getting harder and harder to know who to trust.  The latest schism comes from an expose at quarrygirl.com.  In this expose, it is revealed that VegNews, “the nation’s leading vegan magazine” has been using images with meat in them.  That’s right, delicious succulent meat has successfully infiltrated the pages of VegNews, making it unvegan!

Vegans Kill Babies

April 4th, 2011 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Don't worry baby, I won't let the vegans get to you.

No, this isn’t a dead baby joke.  If it were, the title might say something like, “What’s the difference between a truck full of bowling balls and a truck full of dead babies?” (You can’t unload the bowling balls with a pitch fork)  Sadly, this is no such joke and perfectly good baby child has perished at the hands of unfit vegan parents.

Bowdoin College: A Terrible Place to Learn

A veggie bear?

When you look into where to get your college education, do you think about athletics?  How about graduation rates?  Quality of professors?  Sure, all of those things are important, but what about food?  Continue Reading»


Eating Bugs

Dinner of the future?

A recent Wall Street Journal article has brought up a very interesting topic.  Namely, why the hell don’t we eat bugs?  And by we I mean the West, because as you can see in the picture, the East loves their bugs.  There are a lot of good reasons to eat bugs, and WSJ is quick to point them out.

Time for Epic Meal Time

February 3rd, 2011 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Just watch them make a salad. I dare you.

If you’ve been on or anywhere near the internet recently, you may have heard of a new level of awesome called Epic Meal Time.  Although I take my unvegan eating dangerously serious, the makers of Epic Meal Time have turned eating meat into an orgy of spectacular caloric intake.  I could go on talking about what they do, but I’d rather just let the videos speak for themselves. Below you can find a few of my favorites. Continue Reading»


Driving on Meat

December 27th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

I would rather eat than drive this car.

One of the biggest complaint that vegan and vegetarian environmentalists have against meat-eating is that eating it causes a huge amount of waste.  Well, for those of you who have been avoiding meat for that very reason will soon be able to get back on the meat wagon.  Well actually the meat car.

You see, Tyson, the largest meat company in the world, has decided to get into the diesel-making business with a company called Syntroleum.  This effort will use meat fats that were just going to be dumped and actually turn them into diesel.  The key is that this waste was already going to be created and now has the potential to not be waste at all.

Time to Eat Cloned Meat

December 2nd, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Would you eat this sheep?

Hungry?  How does a little lamb sound?  And how about you eat that same lamb every day, over and over.  Eventually you would think it would go rotten, but you would be wrong, because in a way you are eating a different sheep, a cloned sheep.  And apparently it’s safe. Continue Reading»


Meat Doping

October 4th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Tastes like doped meat.

There is no question that meat is performance enhancing.  The protein helps build muscles, the iron helps the blood flow and the vitamins of the B variety just generally keep the body functioning.  Try getting all that from a vegan salad.  But even though meat clearly enhances performance, there is only one man who has claimed it as a drug: Alberto Contador.

Global Shrinking

August 27th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Is this the future unvegan?

As if we don’t have enough to worry about with global warming.  What with the crazy 110 degree weather I’m experiencing in the hellish valley or dwindling glaciers, now we have to worry about shrinkage.  Now, not that kind of shrinkage.  That kind comes with the cold.  No, the shrinkage I write of affects all unvegans, whether man, woman or beast.

Meat: The Evolution Catalyst

July 12th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Thank you meat for my brain.

We unvegans tend to think of vegans as less than human and although this typically stems from the fact that they don’t really eat human food, sometimes a study comes along and explains even more.  According to a study of fossils in northern Kenya, the consumption of animals was a huge catalyst in changing us from silly primates to genius humans.

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.
