Silly Monkeys, Eat Your Meat

Meat? What meat?

Meat? What meat?

A lot of vegans get down on carnivores, claiming that they live better and longer and whatnot, but when it comes down to it, they are just spouting out words without reason.  We unvegans know the truth, or at least the research, and this research tells us that the reason we live as long as we do is because of our meat-eating.

You see, a long time ago, we weren’t too different from monkeys, but then we started eating meat.  Monkeys didn’t.  So now monkeys rarely live past 50 years, where we are constantly pushing into the century mark.

According to research, meat has changed our genetics, “[helping] promote brain development and mak[ing] us less vulnerable to diseases of aging, such as cancer, heart disease and dementia.”  I won’t get into all of the details, which can be found here, but this news shouldn’t be surprising when you look at some of my unvegan heroes like Gertrude Baines and Freda Swift, who lived or are living a hell of a long time and give credit to meat.

Amazing what meat can do.

    Nobody likes factory farms, but giving up meat is not the solution.

Unvegan Top 20 for 2011

‘Tis the season for “Best of the Year” lists, so I thought I would join the party and put in my top 20 new restaurants from 2011.  By the way, this means the restaurants were new to me, not new to LA.  Please note that I am only including meals in the Los Angeles area.  As much as I loved the food on my travels, you can check any of those places out pretty quickly by clicking here.  So, without further caveat, here’s the best that 2011 had to offer for the unvegan:

20.  Cobras and Matadors

This tapas place in Mid-City is everything tapas should be.  From bacon-wrapped dates to a variety of cheeses, there is really something for anyone looking for a delicious meal.  Just beware, while tapas can be kept to a moderate price, when you throw a big group in with small plates, there are bound to be some people who don’t get their money’s worth.  But keep the group small and Cobras and Matadors will send you home full and happy.

19.  Steingarten

Dishing out delicious sausages, including a few of the exotic variety, Steingarten also offers up a pretty stellar beer selection.  If you’ve ever wanted to eat alligator in sausage form, Steingarten won’t disappoint, but they also serve a wider range of foods, including some pretty delicious burgers.  Their sausage execution, though, could use a bit of improvement, which pushed another sausage joint further up on the list.
