I’m a little behind so let’s catch up.

The New York Times printed a interesting article on veganism and using sexuality to promote it.

I think my favorite part was the line: “I don’t want to be a piece of meat. I’m not going to eat a piece of meat.”

The article went on to comment on the use of these sexy ads to bring men to veganism and vegetarianism (as I did in my previous V is for Vegansexual blogs). If heart health, sympathy for animals, and environmental facts aren’t enough to get your man off the patty, check this out:

A study on The Effect of Meat Consumption On Body Odor Attractiveness was conducted at Charles University, Prague, on 17 male odor donors and rated by 32 female students. The results were that “odors of donors on the nonmeat diet were judged as more pleasant, more attractive, and less intense.”

So boys are out there buying extra strength deodorant and expensive colognes and then making themselves stink by turning around and eating a hamburger? That’s just counterproductive.

Then, if they should be so lucky as to find a girl with a weak sense of smell who likes him regardless of his meal time choices… By the time they are over 40, one study says, more than half of them will be suffering from erectile dysfunction.

According to the Erectile Dysfunction Institute, up to 90 percent of all cases of impotence are physical, not caused by anxiety but by high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, prostate cancers or inflammations, and hormonal imbalances. All of which have been proven to be cured by a low-fat vegan diet.

So regardless of half naked herbivores and scantily clad celebrities, if men want to get it on til the break of dawn and into their 40s, break the meat-eating habit.
