Meet Horse Meat

December 2nd, 2011 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Sitting on a pile of food.

What’s your favorite type of meat?  Is it beef, chicken or pork?  Or maybe it’s something cool and exotic like venison or rattlesnake?  What about horse?  Didn’t think about that one, did you?  Not exactly exotic, but also not exactly meat to most Americans.  Now, though, thanks to a little slip of legislation, the slaughter of horses for meat has been legalized in the USA.

Meat: The Evolution Catalyst

July 12th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Thank you meat for my brain.

We unvegans tend to think of vegans as less than human and although this typically stems from the fact that they don’t really eat human food, sometimes a study comes along and explains even more.  According to a study of fossils in northern Kenya, the consumption of animals was a huge catalyst in changing us from silly primates to genius humans.

So realistic you can smell it.

Have you ever looked up at a food billboard for a place like McDonald’s or Outback and thought the thing looked so good you could taste it?  Or at the very least, smell it?  Well next time it might not just be in your head. Continue Reading»

To meat and beyond.

What have vegetables done for you lately?  Sure, if you’re not an unvegan perhaps they have given you a malnourishing meal or two, but beyond that have they done much more than kill your environment?  Probably not.  Meanwhile, meat has been progressing steadily towards the future of transportation.

The Meat Myth

Yummy myth.

We live in a world full of myth.  Some of these myths are awesome, like Greek myths.  But some myths just plain suck.  Like myths about meat.  They are rampant and they turn know-nothing vegans into high and mighty zealots.  Well, it’s time to kiss those myths goodbye, because I have uncovered a handy little article that should quiet them down.

Double Me Down!

I'll take two.

Today, KFC has changed the face of food as we know it.  For too long, the sandwich has been dominated by some sort of grain, but no longer are sandwiches to be oppressed by two slices of bread.  On this fine day of April 12th, 2010, the sandwich has been liberated and that liberator is KFC’s Double Down.

Bacon Beats Sex

Baconfact!

While on the subject of Canada, it seems that a new report from the Great White North has some interesting insight into the power of delicious meats.  According to the study, 43% of Canadians prefer bacon to sex.  Is Canadian sex that bad or is bacon that good?  I like to think that bacon is just that good.

Boo CO2

Have you ever wondered what the carbon footprint of your food is?  No?  Me neither, but apparently some people do.  Fortunately, the University of New South Wales in Australia has found that red meat is quite the carbon-efficient food, bringing one more bit of great news from the world of meat-eating.

Hungry for Frozen Meat?

Only in dreams...

Usually frozen food is limited to TV dinners, pizzas and ice cream, but the SVF Foundation, a cryopreservation facility in Newport, Rhode Island is changing that.  By freezing the semen and embryos of special livestock, they are hoping to ensure that after the Zombie Apocalypse, whatever is left of humanity will be able able to enjoy some good meat.

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.

Beer Me Some Breckenridge Agave Wheat

The taste of skiing?

Colorado is definitely a beer state, and not just because Coors comes from the Rocky Mountain State.  No, it is also home to New Belgium (of Fat Tire fame) and seemingly countless other micro and craft breweries.  While in Breckenridge for a ski weekend, I decided I had to at least try one of these, and because it turned out to be the only one available at dinner, my choice happened to come from the creatively named Breckenridge Brewery.  The brewery, by the way, is actually no longer in Breckenridge, having expanded and moved to Denver in 1992.
