Freda Swift: Unvegan Hero

A while back, I brought you the story of Gertrude Baines. At the time, she was the oldest woman in the world at 115 years and gave much of the credit to eating bacon. Sadly, she passed away a few months ago, but her appreciation for meat lives on in Freda Swift.

Freda Swift is 106 years old and living at a home in Madison, South Dakota. According to The Madison Daily Leader, she was able to live on her own until the age of 99 because she, “…lived right.”

What’s right, you ask? Well, obviously it had little to do with vegetables. Instead she gave credit to “a good meal of meat and potatoes.”

Mark Sanchez: Unvegan Hero

Being a Michigan football fan, I always disliked Mark Sanchez. As he quarterbacked for USC, he was an easy guy to hate. Now that he has entered the NFL and plays for the New York Jets, any problem I may have had with him have gone away. Not only that, but watching him play on TV a couple weeks ago has elevated him to a level higher than just about any other athlete in the country. During a timeout, Sanchez was caught on film chowing down on a hot dog.

Check out the film below.

Vicki Larrieux: Unvegan Hero

Oh no it's a veggie! — Oh no it’s a veggie!

A lot of unvegans avoid vegetables due to ethical or taste-related reasons, but for some, the hatred goes much deeper. Vicki Larrieux is one of these people. Not content just disliking vegetables, Larrieux has actually developed a phobia for vegetables.

Jonathan Safran Foer vs. Lierre Keith

Recently, I’ve been reading more and more news articles about a book called Eating Animals. At first, I thought this was going to be some sort of awesome cookbook or essays about eating some pretty tasty animals. Instead, I found a book that goes against the things that every unvegan stands for. I haven’t read the book, because I don’t think the author or publisher deserves any of my money, but I know enough to place an unvegan ban on the vegan propaganda.

The book is so insidious that it has turned the adorable Natalie Portman into a sudden vegan who compares eating meat with rape. This cannot stand!

Fiji Meat Men: Unvegan Heroes

It’s not too often that a promotional video captured the heart of an entire industry, and when they do it’s usually boring. Only cheese and milk have really made headway into the entertainment field in the United States, but there could be good news coming for meat.

Fiji Meats has a video that plays on rented videos in Fiji that just might change the entire world’s perception of meat. The video is filled with Fijians working in meat plant singing “I’m a Fiji meat man!” Yes, even the women sing about being a Fiji meat man. At one point a worker dances with an entire pig over his shoulder. To see it all, check out the video…

Hilary Swank: Unvegan Hero

It’s always good to hear about a celebrity returning from the dark side of foodery known as vegetarianism. The newest celebrity to do so is none other than Hilary Swank.

As the star of films like Million Dollar Baby and Boys Don’t Cry, Swank showed what it meant to be tough. In fact, being tough is the reason she has given up vegetarianism. According to Marie Claire magazine, Swank “…just started withering away.” That’s not good news for the Next Karate Kid. You can’t be the praying mantis without eating meat.

Cats: Unvegan Heroes

Many pet owners and vegetarian activists fail to realize that cats are obligate carnivores. This means that they can’t digest their food if it isn’t composed of animal flesh. Despite this, it is rare that you actually see cats act like the true carnivores they are, the carnivores that are related to lions, panthers and tigers. While growing up, my cat would occasionally catch a bird and drop it on our porch as a gift, showing that house cats really do give in to their carnivorous instincts sometimes. Otherwise, many cats have grown fat and pampered.

The video below should prove to any unbeliever that cats want nothing more than some good meat. Watch it and enjoy!

Richard Wrangham: Unvegan Hero

Richard Rangham, author of Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human, has developed a theory that may very well change the way we look at the world and ourselves. Looking back at human evolutionary history, he has realized that with the onset of the discovery of fire and the likely-accidental dropping of raw meat into the fire, our ancestors stumbled upon something that would change human history.

Vegans: Unvegan Heroes?

Not quite, but it’s definitely a fun idea to toy with. One aspect of veganism that I have always found entertaining is the general discord among vegans. From whether they can eat honey to whether they agree with radical PETA’s tactics, they seem to almost have as many schisms as Christianity. But I digress. Today I read an article, entitled “Vegans Against Veganism,” that blew my mind about vegans. Perhaps they aren’t the holier than thou radicals I have always thought.

Dogs: Unvegan Heroes

A man's best...meal? — A man’s best…meal?

A recent report from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has shed a new light on the history of the domestication of dogs in the world.

It seems that dogs weren’t originally intended to be man’s best friend. Instead, they were most likely domesticated to be man’s next meal.

According to the New York Times, “[a] single domestication event seems to have occurred in southern China…[where]there is a long tradition of eating dogs…”
