Really, PETA?

June 9th, 2009 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

I try not to make my blog into an anti-PETA blog, but sometimes it’s hard to avoid the things that PETA does just to get attention.

unvegan peta 1Just recently, they tried to exploit the death of abortion doctor George Tiller as an excuse to promote going vegetarian.  They planned on putting up billboards unvegan peta 2catering to both pro-choice and pro-life people asking them to become vegetarians.  The murder was a tragedy and showed that PETA obviously has no regard for the loss of human life.

On top of that, they have now turned the Olympics into a protest event.  Continue Reading»

“Does Everybody Hate PETA?”

May 14th, 2009 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

That was the interesting question was raised by the LA Times recently.  It was asked in response to PETA’s attempts to seemingly put an end to dog shows.  As a proponent of simply eating animals, I don’t have too much of a say in the matter and my actual opinions of other PETA actions have been been documented in the past.  Click here for the article and let me know if you agree with the comments.

Victory! But at What Price?

January 30th, 2009 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

NBC has chosen to ban the PETA commercial above from the Super Bowl because of how sexually charged it is. Kudos to NBC for showing the vegetarians who the boss is. But while I completely agree with banning the commercial, I disagree with the reasoning behind it. In the commercial, beautiful women in skimpy outfits can be seen sharing their screen time with vegetables, often performing sexually driven acts with them, ie. licking a pumpkin, rubbing breasts with asparagus.

To start off, I want to say that I am in no way against these women and their performances, for while I am against eating vegetables, I can completely see the merit in using vegetables in these forms. Also, I really have a hard time picturing that one girl using a steak instead of broccoli to…achem…help herself. Continue Reading»

Sea Kittens

January 20th, 2009 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Fish: The Kittens of the Sea When I began writing about my life as an unvegan, I made a solemn promise to myself that I would dedicate my blog simply to the reviewing of restaurants as they relate to my taste in foods.  Any rants, complaints or praises I had about people or things in general would somehow make their way into my review and never grow into their own entries.

Today, I break that promise.

Today, the world has changed.

Today, a friend has brought to my attention a campaign by PETA to rebrand the word “fish” as “sea kittens.” Continue Reading»

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.
