Mark Sanchez: Unvegan Hero

unvegan mark sanchezBeing a Michigan football fan, I always disliked Mark Sanchez.  As he quarterbacked for USC, he was an easy guy to hate.  Now that he has entered the NFL and plays for the New York Jets, any problem I may have had with him have gone away.  Not only that, but watching him play on TV a couple weeks ago has elevated him to a level higher than just about any other athlete in the country.  During a timeout, Sanchez was caught on film chowing down on a hot dog.

Check out the film below.

If you look closely, you can see that he has chosen not to put any ugly vegetables like relish or onions on his hot dog.  Instead he has simply chosen mustard, keeping things unvegan.  For some reason, people in the media were upset at Sanchez, and to appease these people he made an even greater unvegan decision and donated 1,000 hot dogs and hamburgers to a local soup kitchen.

For eating a veggie-free hot dog to help your football performance and donating meat to the needy, Mark Sanchez, you are a true Unvegan Hero!

    Meat is a good thing. There is no getting around that!

  2. Kim Crystal says:

    I think onions make a hot dog better, but in keeping with unveganizm, putting bacon or bean-free chili on it is good, too!

  3. Danny Cohen says:

    Mustard is from a seed, therefore a plant, therefore NOT UNVEGAN.

  4. The Unvegan says:

    Do not question the unvegan ways. I eat fruit and have been known to eat herbs, but I do not eat food classified as vegetables. I don’t think anyone would ever describe mustard as a vegetable. If they do, they are surely not sane.

UNVEGAN FANS: HELP STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT DELICIOUS FOOD!

Future Foodies!

HYPE is a non-profit organization that works directly with low-income middle schoolers and their teachers to provide students with the guidance and resources needed to qualify for admission and succeed at top private schools in the Los Angeles area. We provide our students with engaging and unfamiliar experiences to broaden their horizons. A large part of building this cultural capital is by having our students try a wide variety of new foods. This pushes our students outside of their comfort zones and encourages them to take risks in a fun (and tasty!) way. Last summer, our students tried Ethiopian food, sushi, Korean BBQ, deli, and schwarma, just to provide some examples.

We want your help, Unvegan fans, to increase our students’ knowledge about the world around them by enhancing their culinary experiences. We greatly appreciate your support to provide a meal to our group of 15. With your donation, you will be opening delicious doors for an amazing group of students!
