Michael Bloomberg: Unvegan Hero

Veggies make him unhappy.

Michael Bloomberg, or should I say, Mayor Bloomberg of New York hasn’t exactly been much of a meat man in the past.  As one of the richest men in the world, he decided to dedicate the rest of his life to public service in 2001.  In truth, I know little to nothing of his politics, but I do know the man loves his steak.

Just recently he was interviewed and a reporter asked him what his favorite vegetable was.  He replied, “Steak.”  Simply amazing.  Mayor Bloombergis a man who understands that there is no place in the food pyramid for vegetables.  Some people are in uproar because he once claimed iceberg lettuce to be his favorite vegetable.  Lucky for unvegans everywhere, he has seen the light and now knows the grave importance of steak.

Maybe he can make a law that classifies steak as a vegetable.  Is that too much to ask?  No, it isn’t.

So for loving steak and ignoring the existence of vegetables, Michael Bloomberg, you are a true Unvegan Hero!

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.
