Next to Jack Donaghy and Lucille Bluth, Ron Swanson is my favorite television character of all time. There is much to admire about Ron: his intense libertarianism, his willingness to try cornrows, his support of Leslie, that time he gave a small child a landmine, and, of course, his secret life as jazz musician Duke Silver. But above all, it’s Ron’s meat-love that inspires greatness in others. As a testament to Ron I have collected all the images of Ron eating meat and everything he’s said while eating it. Enjoy!

(Note: In the picture above, Ron is tossing a burger at his head because he has a hernia and can’t eat normally without pain but must have meat. Clip here.)
