‘Raves’
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.
Take a quick look at the license plate to the left. What does it say to you?
If you think it says, “I love tofu,” you’re probably on the wrong website.
But if you think it says something a little more interesting and vulgar, congratulations! You have a lot in common with the Colorado DMV.
In every generation, there is an idea that changes the world. Finally, the change for our generation has arrived: Bacon Salt.
Justin and Dave are the geniuses behind this magnificent invention. Not content to eat foods that don’t taste like bacon, they developed a seasoning to make everything taste like it. Not only that, but they added multiple flavors, like hickory, applewood and more!
The kicker?

There comes a time in an unvegan man’s life when, despite his morals and convictions, he must give a group of people their due. With the Fifth Third Burger, my time has come. Finally there is a dish with vegetables that I dare write about with admiration.
First, a little background.
According to an article in the New York Times, rural farmers of California have begun a movement to secede and create a second California. This is due to the city folk passing measures to regulate the conditions of animals on farms. It is clear that these city folks do not understand what it takes to be a farmer, to live off of the land. As a city folk myself, I can only imagine the hardships of life on the farms. The people passing these measures are putting the welfare of animals above the welfare of people, because if a farm is unable to maximize profit, they will not be sustainable and then the farmers will suffer.
Besides, the grocery stores that used to get their meat from California farmers now have to buy it from other states where the cost of production is cheaper.
As the host of Top Chef and the writer of healthy cookbooks, I originally wrote Padma Lakshmi off as vegetarian health nut. All that changed when I saw the picture to the left. There are few things that make me happier than seeing a beautiful woman taking down such a well-prepared piece of meat.
I also have found out that she will be doing ads for Hardee’s (Carl’s Jr.) Bacon Western Thickburger. It’s enough to make me run out and find the nearest Hardee’s.
While reading the most recent issue of Newsweek, I came across a full-page ad that simply could not be ignored.
Blogworthy. And why not? Oscar Mayer has always made fantastic meat products. Has a child ever grown up in America without having at least one Oscar Mayer meat on a sandwich? If not, they were truly deprived. They have two of the greatest jingles in television history. And the Wienermobile, a motor vehicle dedicated entirely to the advancement of meat. Who else can say that?
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.
Al Michaels is truly a man after my own heart. Although I have never met him, I have seen him on hundreds of sports broadcasts. Until recently, I only thought of him as a great broadcaster, but new information has recently come to light. A friend has just alerted me to a story about this man who has now become a legend to me. In a recent interview at “The Big Lead,” the following transpired:
