The Unvegan

According to recent studies done by Klaus Zuberbuhler and Zanna Clay from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, it turns out I have a lot in common with my close primate cousin, the Bonobo.

They conducted studies of the Bonobos’ reaction to different foods. Their six favorite foods (of eleven tested) were grapes, bananas, popcorn, apples, oranges and biscuits. It wasn’t until number seven on their list that vegetables began to filter in, and even then I assume it was because the apes wanted to appease the vegans of the world. Had they included cheeses and meats in the experiments, I presume that the Bonobos would have forgotten that vegetables even existed.

My love for Taco Bell has been professed many times in this blog and in real life. It looks like the love is catching on.

Rhett and Link recorded the video above while making an order at Taco Bell. It’s done in a folk song sort of way. Sure, this is pretty cool, but just doing something cool at a fast food place is not enough to become an unvegan hero. The transformation from cool to hero happens at 1:04, when they sing “…but please hold the diced tomatoes,” in reference to ordering a Mexican Pizza.

Good for them. No one should have to suffer through tomatoes on their Mexican Pizza, let alone on any food.

Gertrude Baines, the oldest woman in the world, just turned 115 on Monday. I know you’re wondering what the key is to her longevity.

Well, it’s bacon!

Crispy Bacon.

She was born in 1894, long before the vegetarian fad began, which must certainly have contributed to her living for so long.
