Shaun White: Unvegan Hero

Okay, so the Winter Olympics aren’t the most interesting sporting event in the world.  I understand that, but let’s be honest:  has anyone not watched any of the Olympics this year?  If you haven’t, you are truly missing out.  When else can you watch snowboarding, curling, and bobsledding?  All these sports typically bore me, but once every four years, I enjoy their existence.  Which brings me to Shaun White.

Hopefully by now he is more famous than Carrot Top, because some of the stunts he pulled to win the gold medal in the Men’s Half-pipe were truly incredible.  And the only thing cooler than his tricks is knowing he names them after steak.  That’s right, Olympic Gold Medalist Shaun White loves his meat.  According to Drovers, “The Double Eagle refers to a steak he enjoyed in New York City, and the Tomahawk for a 30 oz. T-bone from a restaurant in Aspen.”

So for loving your steak and incorporating meat into an impressive array of gold medal-winning tricks, Shaun White, you are a true Unvegan Hero!

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!
