So the Olympics are over, but if they have taught us anything, we all know that Canada is a pretty sweet place. I may be partial to the country since I grew up an hour from the border and took advantage of the 19+ drinking age in Ontario. Or I may be partial to the country because I am half Canadian and am enamored by both curling and hockey. Whatever the reason, I’ve now discovered a new reason to love Canada and it is called “Body Break.”

“Body Break” was one of those fun little informational shorts from the ’90s that would appear during after-school programs. It featured two wholesome Canadians named Hal Johnson and Joanne McCleod. As part of encouraging people to live a healthier life, they made meat a central focus.

Check out their video below:

Not that anyone would be foolish enough to skip out on meat in a meal, but they even say, “If you don’t eat meat at lunch, you can combine two servings at dinner.” That’s a good unvegan life to me.

So for being part of Canada’s awesomeness and encouraging meat consumption, Hal Johnson and Joanne McCleod, you are true Unvegan Heroes!

Just 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 catering 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. I had

enough of the protesting from the Beijing Olympics and hoped that the upcoming Vancouver ones would be more about sports than unrelated controversy.  Apparently I was wrong. Even the fun-loving Canadians can’t catch a break from PETA. They have reworked the Vancouver logo to show Canadians as evil seal-killers. Now I don’t promote the killing of endangered animals (although the thought of a tiger steak does sound mighty nice), but these seals aren’t even close to endangered. They are, however, very cute. I don’t think PETA or anyone else in the world would care so much if they weren’t so darned cute.

But I digress. The real point is that the Olympics are about sports. Shame on PETA for trying to make them something different.
