Global Shrinking

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.

According to a new University of Florida study, global warming makes carnivores shrink.  The study involved a “…hyena-like animal…[which] evolved from the size of a bear to the size of a coyote during a 200,000-year period when Earth’s average temperature increased about 15 degrees Fahrenheit.”  Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about lasting that long, but it will be a sad future if my unvegan descendants evolve into pygmy unvegans.  For that reason alone, it’s time to put a stop to global warming.

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!
