More Meat for More Sex

July 23rd, 2009 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit Comment

According to studies from Australia, red meat is a great way to increase sex drive.  Could it be the new Viagra?

The study compared butchers who eat a lot of red meat to average non-butcher people and the results reflect well upon red meat eaters.

Here are the best findings of the report:

Butchers report eating red meat more often than the average person, consuming 3.4 serves a week. Butchers are:

  • Having more sex: Butchers report having sex 60pc more than the rest of us, averaging over 100 sexual encounters a year, while the national average is fewer than 70.
  • More energetic: More than half of all butchers report they wake up feeling energetic, compared to just a quarter of the rest of us.
  • Healthier: Over 50pc of butchers have had no time off sick in the past year compared to only 18pc of Australians. For those who did fall ill, they took an average of 1.1 days sick leave a year compared with 3.2 days for the rest of the population.
  • Laughing more: Butchers appear to have the last laugh with three out of five saying they have a fun work environment. Fewer than one in four Aussies describe their workplace as ‘good fun’.

That’s enough to convince me to go out and get a steak, with a side of libido.

Going Global at Plan Check

Fries of the world.

A couple of weeks ago, The Backyard Bite invited me to The Burger Culture Clash, sponsored by Stussy (which apparently still exists) and Plan Check. Plan Check, by the way, is a sort of new (since February) restaurant in West LA with Chef Ernesto Uchimura of Umami Burger fame. 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.
