A Theory I Can Get Behind

June 3rd, 2009 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit Comment

While perusing the blogosphere (with the help of Google Alerts) I came across a great blog entry by a guy named Jeff Erno.  In it, he theorizes on why people should eat animals rather than plants.  A lot of this theory stems from the fact that animals are simply a safer food to eat.

He explains, “If you are an animal then evasion seems a great way to avoid predation. Run faster. Climb higher. Fly…”  These are things that plants simply cannot do.  Instead, for the most part, plants became toxic or poisonous to avoid predation.

There are exceptions to every rule, but who really wants to be eating from a food group in which most of the relatives are trying to kill you?

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!
