Rachael Ray

Rachael Ray said she was devoting her life to only owning pit bull dogs because she wants to prove there are no bad dogs, only bad dog owners.

“I just think it’s my mission in life to prove to people that there’s no such thing as an evil animal,” Ray said. “There are only evil humans.”

The Food Network chef now has data to back up her opinion, as a study conducted by the American Temperament Test Society showed pit bulls scored higher in tests that measure a dog’s ability to get along with people and other animals.

The doctor is in and has given his expert opinion on whether tofu stir fry and coconut milk hinder the ability of athletes like Jon Fitch and Jake Shields to perform.

Medical columnist for MMA Junkie, Dr. Johnny Benjamin states: “As long as the total calorie intake remains constant between vegans and meat-eaters, it really doesn’t matter the source – where it’s plants or meat (we’re obviously not talking junk food here).

I hate it when people say things like “Hitler was an animal” – what animal? An animal wouldn’t do what he did!”
