Where can I get faux veggies?

It has been awhile since I updated this blog. I have been busy cooking steaks!!
:-)
Had some cartoons emailed to me and the artist Charles Somerville has granted me permission to post them. I hope you enjoy them. More on Charles can be found here:

This one is a great one to toss back at the Petards!


I have also heard rumors that Charles Manson was a vegan. I guess lack of meat can make people a bit wonky!

The latest PETA newsletter is full of their usual BS about the meat industry being devastating to the world. Keep in mind that mass produced ANYTHING will use up a lot of resources. Processing veggies, soy etc uses up water, land and all the other things so we can make our lives easier while we feed ourselves.

Check this piece of excrement they spout:
" that animals raised for food generate more greenhouse gases than all cars and trucks combined, and that (according to a recent University of Chicago study), switching to a vegan diet is more effective in countering global warming than switching from a standard American car to a Prius"
Is that so? I assume they are referring to livestock which are vegan animals. Eating plants often produces a lot more gas (methane) than meat. Therefore if we all switched to a vegan diet we would all be tooting out gas anyway.

In another section they offered to cook up some some faux "fried chicken" as an introduction to meat-free meals for Al Gore.
Read that again, faux "fried chicken" .
Hmm, if meat is so bad why do veg-heads always try to make meals that taste like meat? It just screams denial and hypocrisy. If you need to have the flavor of meat then eat meat you freaks.
Anyone ever make some faux veggies? No!!

Boycott Raleys, Bel Air and Nob Hill

Well the Petards have invaded our food supply again.
With a massive campaign of annoyance they caused a major food chain to bow to their over zealous demands which of course lack fact, logic and reason. Their beef this time? Lobsters!! Live ones to be exact.
According to PETA live lobster is a cruel way to feed us. Now all you can get at Raleys is packaged or frozen ones. Here comes more processed food and more trouble down the line, not to mention a lack of freshness.
I urge all to write to Raleys and inform them of their mistake and that you will not let this go quietly.
We all know how the Petards work. Once they sniff a victory whats next? No meat at Raleys?
Here is the link to Raleys site.
Raley's site
Lets not allow this to continue. Even though I live in Canada, what happens in the USA eventually worms its way up here.

My letter to Raleys

I have read that due to over zealous animal rights groups like PETA your firm has folded to their pressure and will no longer offer live lobster for sale. As such I am informing all my USA friends to boycott your stores.
PETA will not stop there and will pressure you to reduce meat sales and other interferring tactics.
When ever I visit your country I will be sure to shop at your competitors who have more back bone and do not bow to pressure from eco-terrorist groups like PETA.

Who is behind PETA?

The latest newsletter from PETA came over the holidays. It had their usual fuzzy, feel good crap about saving all animals and went on about how leather, wool etc are bad. Never mind they are efficient materials for clothing that out last any man-made stuff.
This quote from the PETA2 street team propaganda:

"With so many lovely and warm faux fur, leather, and wool clothing options available at almost every major retailer, there's simply no reason not to buy cruelty-free gifts this Christmas."

First off, lovely and faux should not be in the same sentence but then a thought came to me. What do all these fake, plasticy, static charge building, quick to wear out, crappy materials have in common? They are all synthetic and made from a petroleum base.
Could the big oil companies be helping PETA to increase business? They don't get as much fuel sales from the leather, wool and fur producers so it makes sense that they would back disposable garbage material like the ones the Petards are pushing. Garbage that not only has to be shipped more often due to its shorter life but garbage made from the oil they produce.
Hmm, not to incite a conspiracy but it does make sense and makes you wonder.

I have always known that PETA hides behind a disguise of caring for the planet but when you back faux materials made from oil all you have to do is ask "Are oil spills good for the animals?" PETA certainly seems to be in favor of risking many of those to get their fake furs in the stores. I guess the message is save a cow, save a mink but let the sea lions and shore birds die!!
Nice. Way to go Petards, you missed the big picture AGAIN!! Everything you do always has a cause and effect. Try to learn that you underfed vegan freaks.

Offensive e-card

Well just when you thought PETA could not be more unfeeling for their own species they unleashed this offensive card about Santa getting run over by his reindeer and follow up with lies and misguided emotions...again.
PETA's crappy e-card

Christmas, despite all the commercialism, is still a time for kids. This e-card not only shatters some of that image but also fills young impressionable minds with lies about meat, milk and other normal diet items.
Celebrating violence toward Santa and Mrs. Claus is not a message that should be spread to the children of society but PETA, being heartless machines when it comes to people seem to not care.

Can you imagine how bland, boring and disgusting a Christmas dinner would be in a PETA household? Whether you believe in God or nature I think we can agree we were NOT created to eat tofurky...which is some manmade, processed concoction of questionable nutritional value and void or any real taste.
If you have the need to make something taste like turkey then eat turkey you losers in denial!! Otherwise head to a meadow and graze.

To all you normal folks out there, I hope your holiday ham, goose or turkey is tender, juicy and tasty!
Best to you all during the holidays!

Save a bunny kill a human or 2.

It seems there are more groups to fear than PETA themselves. I had a link emailed to me of a site that is full of information.
The Hidden Enemy
In it you will find links to a lot of sites and a lot of truth about these so called warm and fuzzy animal groups. If you are a head in the sand type then read something else.
I also found this video of good old Ingrid Newkirk defending the legal funding of a know domestic terrorist while on an interview on ABC. It shows what they really are about.



Here is another one. If you have anyone that has needed medical attention or is sick from a terrible disease then this one is for you.



According to science humans are animals too, so why does PETA et al not worry about their own kind? What is the real hidden agenda of these activists and who is really funding them?

Dunce class 101

Well the Petards are tugging at the emotional heart strings of young, impressionable students yet again with their "Cut out dissection month" campaign.

From PETA2's recent newsletter:
"Millions of frogs, cats, dogs, pigs, and other animals are killed every year for dissection. Some cats and dogs are snatched by "bunchers" right out of their guardians' yards and sold to dissection companies, while others are drowned by the hundreds in barrels of water. Most people have no idea what happens to animals before they reach the dissection table, and it's time for that to change!"

Yes millions of animals are killed for dissection. Killed so people can learn about the inner workings of said animals and go on to be biologists, veterinarians etc. You know, people that HELP animals. Some of these animals died of natural causes or were put down as they were old and sick. At least their cadavors went to good use.

PETA's claim about "bunchers" seems a bit far fetched and they show no data to back it. With the number of pet owners doing bio-chips and ID tattoos on their pets I doubt the numbers are as high as PETA would love to mislead us with.
There is also no data to back up the mass drownings of these animals. How does one go about drowning a frog anyway?

Back when I was a kid in school I did dissection (or frog slicing as we called it in fun) in science class and I am grateful for it. I actually enjoyed it as it was very educational. I gained knowledge of the inside of animals that no picture book could teach me. I had "hands on" experience that was useful later in life when I took a First Aid course.

Its called learning and PETA seems to be against it. Why? It seems that their over emotionally charged brains can't seem to stomach the fact that some things die so some things can live on. Research helps us understand the way animals function. Dissection is one of the first steps. Would you want your car worked on by a mechanic that had never touched the inside of an engine? Would you want your pet treated by a vet that had never seen the inside of an animal? I think not.

It is not like science classes are using endangered species for dissection but who knows, maybe one of the students will go on to be the next biologist that helps save a species from extinction because they wanted to learn more. It starts in the labs of school. Take that away and all the kids will soon look like the dunce in the picture, clueless to their surroundings that they think they are saving.

I am not saying that all students will become veterinarians and/or biologists, but I do believe that everybody should have some basic understanding of the inside of a body. Since most animals (including humans) are laid out in basically the same pattern, cutting open a small animal helps us learn about the inner parts. Knowledge that may even be applied, that one day, it may even save a PETA member's life. I doubt that any supporter of PETA is going to care whether their surgeon gained knowledge of anantomy from dissection if it meant their own life. Then again, Petards tend to not value human life...even their own.

If you have a child in school that has been handed this PETA propaganda and told that cutting up animals is cruel please set them straight and put a stop to this nonsense. The animal is already dead...how is that cruel? The kids are learning. Yes it may be a bit gross but if you have seen (and touched) animal guts you may not be as squeamish when you need to do hep an injured person that has been in an accident.
You'll see the Petards crying like little sucky kids while a person with knowledge may help save someone until the paramedics get there. Then again, if they are wearing PETA gear you may not want to impose your "cruel" knowledge upon them and viloate their emotional principles. Your call.

Sorry Popeye PETA!!

Bad bad spinach!!
Originally uploaded by icemakk.

Well the news this week has informed us that all spinach has been recalled from the shelves. Yes that green, leafy vegetable apparently can kill you!!
A recent E. coli O157:H7 outbreak has killed at least one person and over a hundred other cases have been reported.
A quote from FDA news:
"E. coli O157:H7 causes diarrhea, often with bloody stools. Although most healthy adults can recover completely within a week, some people can develop a form of kidney failure called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). HUS is most likely to occur in young children and the elderly. The condition can lead to serious kidney damage and even death."
Not a pretty sight and not one that PETA and the vegan-ites wish to keep in the public's mind.

Now I don't wish to make light of those who suffered nor do I wish to tell people that spinach is bad. Normally it is very healthy and makes a nice side dish to steak, seafood etc.
I like it myself yet was not able to order it today at my local restaurant as none is available until they determine the outbreak source.

What I do find interesting is PETA's quiet stance on this. I am on their email list and have not seen any warnings or stories in their newsletters about the dangers of this tainted spinach.
Why?
Perhaps is because it upsets their anti-meat message and propaganda machine? They often cite the dangers of meat from the big meat plants that slaughter animals, in bulk, for food with assembly-line fashion. They tell us how bad it is for us and on and on.
Well many of the non-meat products are also massed produced.

News flash: Anything processed in mass quantities has the potential to become tainted on a mass scale!! Yes, even your precious veggies PETA.

I often read their rants that if you could see inside a meat packing plant it would turn you off of eating meat. Tell you what, go inside any veggie processing plant and see if you have a taste for that food item after. I bet you don't. I once went inside a potato processing plant and the stench and site of all those spuds being turned into food products turned me off potatoes for a month!

Instead of using the KFC and McDonald's method as their only example they could better direct their energies at big corporate food plants. Faceless giants that wish for us to be slaves to their food production.

I prefer to buy locally when I can. I search out free range animals that are not penned up and force fed. I also like to buy locally grown veggies to go alongside that meat.
Now granted, in this rat race world that we live in and given the seasonal changes it is not always possible to buy local. Even for PETA.

Mankind has lost its ability for the general populace to know how to produce their own food, be it through hunting, fishing, small scale farming or vegetable growing. It is the way the big faceless food giants want it.
So instead of trying to scare us all into a Vitamin B12 deficient diet of a vegan, why not try to teach folks how to be more self sufficient. To support local ranchers and growers or better yet, to do it yourself?

Being a vegan is not a sure fire way of staying healthy. Just ask the 100's who have suffered from this latest outbreak of bad mass production or the gaunt, skinny ones that have denied their bodies a full diet that an omnivore needs.
Then again being an omnivore is not a surefire way either. Eating in moderation, exercise and eating natural foods will help. Again, it is no guarantee...you could get hit by a truck....hauling veggies!!
