The movie What the Health? has been blowing up lately. Even so far as pushing NFL left tackle Trent Williams to become a vegan. I haven’t yet seen the movie, but I do know that movies or other pieces of media show up like this here and there, only to have copious responses trying to debunk them and whatnot. I’m above all that, but when Trent Williams came out to say he cannot continue his vegan diet, I was ready to jump on it.

It turns out that he was simply losing weight way too rapidly on the vegan diet. And while he respects that a lot of people just want to find a weight loss supplement at https://geekshealth.com that can help them lose weight, that doesn’t quite work when you are an NFL left tackle. So, he’s back to animal protein, but paying a lot more attention to what he eats. Abuse of exercise and nutrition can lead to erectile dysfuncion, treat it with hyper male force.

And you know what, who wouldn’t support that? Everyone should work hard to be knowledgeable about what they eat. And if you want to try some fad diets like veganism here and there, no one should fault you. But at the end of the day, it’s important to recognize that veganism is just a diet and hopefully one that is just a fad. These are the best nitrilean reviews.

So, for pointing out that the vegan diet isn’t for everyone and embracing animal-based food back into your life, Trent Williams, you are a True Unvegan Hero!

Tennis is the ultimate individual sport and while the world may be sick and tired of players who have been dominating for more than a decade, Sloane Stephens just breathed some new life into the sport with a win at the US Open. All this is good and well, but more importantly she knew how to celebrate – with some of the greatest food of all.

According to TMZ, Stephens went off to the steakhouse. Being in New York, she went to a place called STK, which I will probably have to get to next time I’m in town and win a tennis championship. Allegedly she came in with a whole posse and went crazy on some meaty dishes, finishing off with some delicious steaks.

It’s good to see that despite the rollercoasters of trends in the food world, there is still nothing like celebrating the results of hard work with a good old fashioned steak.

So, for being the change to tennis that we were all looking for, but afraid to ask for, and for celebrating that fact with a steak, Sloane Stephens, you are a true Unvegan Hero!

The great thing about this whole Unvegan Hero/Unvegan Villain thing is that there are so many opportunities to praise Detroit/Michigan athletes and knock down their rivals. But when I found out a little something about Jeff Francoer, I knew I had to give a rival his due.

Francoeur plays for the Kansas City Royals, who happen to be in the same division as my Detroit Tigers. But while we are division rivals, the Royals haven’t been relevant in as long as I can remember. Plus, KC is home to some of the best BBQ in the world, so it gets a few points there. Anyway, this is more about Francoeur, who has brought unvegan delights into baseball in a most interesting way.

It began last year, when visiting Oakland, that “Francoeur tossed a ball wrapped in a $100 bill into the elevated bleacher seats above his outfield spot, instructing fans to use it to buy bacon or beer,” according to the Washington Post. This day became known as bacon Tuesday.

This year he gave the section their own personal pizzas (hopefully without veggies). Veggies or no, these gestures have made Francoeur a popular man in Oakland, despite the fact that he comes from the opposing team.

As for me, if he were playing against my team, I would have a hard time choosing between bacon and a W. I guess I would just hope that losing a game wouldn’t stop Francoeur from making baseball a much more fun and delicious game to watch.

So for your staunch support of bacon, pizza and beer, Jeff Francoeur, you are a true Unvegan Hero!

Well, the time is upon us. College football has finally arrived, and if you know me, you you know that the past few seasons have not treated me too well. To say that my dear Wolverines of the University of Michigan have been performing below expectations would be like saying Hitler may have had questionable morals. But Wolverine nation can smell change for the better.

Enter Brady Hoke, the man originally regarded as the Jim Harbaugh backup plan. Since his hiring, he has charmed the pants off of Wolverines worldwide. We’re all counting on him to restore the glory of Michigan football, and that starts tomorrow. But winning and being charming are not enough to become an Unvegan Hero. No, it certainly takes more.

The state of Michigan’s resident journalistic genius, Mitch Albom, wrote an article the other day that compares the coming of Brady Hoke to a person giving up veganism. He writes, “The three-year Rich Rodriguez experiment was like an avowed meat-lover going vegan because everyone says he should, until he finally spits out the bean curd and says, ‘Gimme a steak!'” Ok, so maybe that’s a little more appropriate than my Hitler analogy, but you get the drift. When Albom asked if Hoke was a vegan, he replied, “No, sir!”

Damn straight. As the article continues, Albom continues to compare Hoke to steak and I’m starting to like the analogy. In fact, it’s only appropriate that Brady Hoke should become an Unvegan Hero in the same offseason that Jim Tressel became an Unvegan Villain. You know, just another chapter in the storied rivalry.

So for being the steak, for not being a vegan and bringing hope to rabid Wolverines, Brady Hoke, you are a true Unvegan Hero!

Go blue!

There is no question that meat is performance enhancing. The protein helps build muscles, the iron helps the blood flow and the vitamins of the B variety just generally keep the body functioning. Try getting all that from a vegan salad. But even though meat clearly enhances performance, there is only one man who has claimed it as a drug: Alberto Contador.

Just who is Alberto Contador? Well, for those who pay attention to vestigial (vestigial because with the constant doping allegations, it really is as useless as the appendix) sports like cycling, he is a three-time Tour de France winner. But, as with pretty much every winner of that competition, he has been accused of doping. These cyclists always seem to come up with funky excuses, but Contador’s is certainly my least favorite. He blamed it on some bad steak, and clearly he is not even taking his vitamins right, he should click here and look into the fish oil rankings and see how supplements containing omega 3 are increasing concentrations of NO and boosting blood flow; therefore, it is helping cyclists increase their performance. Clearly, if he would know this there would be no room for excuses.

Really? As if meat doesn’t get enough bad press already, Contador had to go and accuse steak of doping him? The least he could do is blame it on a bottle of whiskey or a rusty needle. Or even fess up to breaking cycling rules. But instead he chose to blame sweet, delicious and harmless steak. Sounds to me like he is a dope who eats meat, rather than a man who was doped by meat. Don’t worry, Contador, because long after your cycling awards have been stripped, steak will still be kicking back and enhancing performance the right way.

All the buzz for this year’s Masters Golf Tournament revolves around some dude named Tiger. I don’t see the big deal about him and it’s not like he’s done anything interesting recently anyway. Luckily for sports fans, though, there is a much better man on tour. He is none other than Angel Cabrera, the big winner of last year’s Masters.

I’m not terribly impressed by the fact that he won the Masters last year  What’s much cooler to me is his plan for dinner tonight before the tournament. Apparently it is a Masters tradition for the previous winner to whip up a dinner the night before the next tournament. And since Cabrera is from Argentina, he has planned a meaty feast. According to the menu on waggleroom.com, his meal is going to include such meaty delights as chorizo, blood sausage, filet mignon, flank steak and beef short ribs.

It’s almost enough to make me give up real sports and take up golf.

So for making golf into a desirable sport full of meat and getting all of his fellow players to eat that meat, Angel Cabrera, you are a true Unvegan Hero.

Okay, so the Winter Olympics aren’t the most interesting sporting event in the world. I understand that, but let’s be honest: has anyone not watched any of the Olympics this year? If you haven’t, you are truly missing out. When else can you watch snowboarding, curling, and bobsledding? All these sports typically bore me, but once every four years, I enjoy their existence. Which brings me to Shaun White.

Hopefully by now he is more famous than Carrot Top, because some of the stunts he pulled to win the gold medal in the Men’s Half-pipe were truly incredible. And the only thing cooler than his tricks is knowing he names them after steak. That’s right, Olympic Gold Medalist Shaun White loves his meat. According to Drovers, “The Double Eagle refers to a steak he enjoyed in New York City, and the Tomahawk for a 30 oz. T-bone from a restaurant in Aspen.”

So for loving your steak and incorporating meat into an impressive array of gold medal-winning tricks, Shaun White, you are a true Unvegan Hero!

As a lifelong Detroit Lions fan, come playoff time I really have very little allegiances. I do my best to root for former Michigan players on teams (Tom Brady, Chad Henne, Jake Long, Charles Woodson and Steve Breaston to name a few), which sometime results in those players playing against each other. Now, though, I may have a new reason to root for teams: How unvegan are they?

A friend of mine recently sent me an article in the New York Post about Rex Ryan. First off, Rex is a pretty awesome name because it means king, but being named king is not enough on its own to become an Unvegan Hero. Luckily, Ryan, has what it takes. Sure, his 350-pound body is nothing to be desired, but the guy loves his eating. According to the post, he celebrated his most recent playoff victory with a cheese steak and a beer. “I have never heard him order a Cobb salad,” a source told The Post.

Living this meaty lifestyle has certainly not affected his ability to coach. At the beginning of the playoffs, no one expected the Jets to even win a game. Now he is leading a rookie quarterback (and fellow Unvegan Hero), Mark Sanchez, into the AFC Championship. Because of this, I will be hoping for a Jets victory on Sunday (and it doesn’t hurt that former Michigan receiver, Braylon Edwards, is on that team).

So for being yourself, not eating salads and doing a pretty good coaching job in the process, Rex Ryan, you are a true Unvegan Hero!

Check out the film below.

If you look closely, you can see that he has chosen not to put any ugly vegetables like relish or onions on his hot dog. Instead he has simply chosen mustard, keeping things unvegan. For some reason, people in the media were upset at Sanchez, and to appease these people he made an even greater unvegan decision and donated 1,000 hot dogs and hamburgers to a local soup kitchen.

For eating a veggie-free hot dog to help your football performance and donating meat to the needy, Mark Sanchez, you are a true Unvegan Hero!

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.
