PETA honors sexiest vegetariansAfter tallying 110,000 votes cast on on its website, animal rights organization PETA today announced their annual picks for the world's sexiest vegetarians. American Idol-winner and country star Carrie Underwood claimed the female title this year (as she did in 2005):
and Tonight Show band leader Kevin Eubanks won for sexiest male vegetarian.
Runners up this year were Joaquin Phoenix, Milo Ventimiglia, Jared Leto, and Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell (pictured below with a dog that she did not later consume)
Bryce Dallas Howard (Spiderman 3, The Lady in the Water)
and Lisa Edelstein (House, M.D.)
Winners in years past include Natalie Portman (V for Vendetta, Garden State)
Alicia Silverstone (Clueless)
and country singer Shania Twain.
Yes, this was just the excuse we needed to run pics of Portman, Silverstone and Twain. Is it a coincidence that several of these sexy vegetarians also made the AfterEllen.com Hot 100 List? I doubt it. Lesbians have always known that activism is sexy.Submitted by on June 26, 2007 - 7:24pm. |

....
It's great to see that Peta are using clever marketing techniques to increase their coverage. Recently, in Australia, one man protested KFC, with the support of Peta, to expose just exactly how they treat their chickens. I'm not a vegetarian, but I know that after that article and some of the images, I've gone off chicken for quite some time!
And you bleed just to know you're alive.
Why Not Free Range?
You don't have to stop eating chicken altogether if it's just that you don't like the way KFC does business. Just don't eat at KFC.
Buy free range, grain fed chicken from companies that do business responsibly. They usually put it right on their labels to encourage consumers to buy it even though it's a little more expensive. It costs more for them to take the extra care of the chickens, but they can't do it if no one buys it.
If enough people start buying responsibly it'll change the market so that it's not just about competitive pricing, but competitive quality and responsibility.
mmmmm......
vegetarians rule!!!
No mention...
Totally agree
Well if they don't, I do!

butcher
It took me a minute to realize the "butcher" sign behind her was a sign for an actual butcher and not, you know, some reference to being more butch. I'm going to blame this on my terrible nights' sleep and not on my warped mind.
Re: Butcher
LMFAO.
I work in advertising (yes, yes, boo, hiss, I know) and when I saw the Jorja Fox ad, I was thinking about how much (despite my love for Jorja) this ad sucks.
But that's besides the point -- the comment about it being something to do with being more butch had me laughing so hard I peed a little. <single perfect tear>
AWESOME!
Also, I'm a PETA fan, supporter, fellow-vegetarian, etc., but it doesn't mean that I have to like the ads, so please don't hate me. They're just not effective.
VM/KB
I miss Veronica Mars. Been marathon-ing it for the past few days. That is an excellent picture of Kristen Bell. Also, is it wrong to be seriously attracted to Lisa Edelstein even though she's old enough to have given birth to me?
~It means pride.~
YUM
Carrie.....YUM :D I Heart Her!!!!
So Much For True Love, I'll Take This Chivas Instead
Carrie Underwood? Really?
Natalie Should have Won
Kudos to Veggies
I wish I had the willpower to be a vegetarian. I admire the effort and conscientiousness of those that practice it. Alas, I am weak for cheeseburgers. But, I am trying to make more of my meals veggie focused.
Also, has anyone made the 'vagitarian' joke here yet? If not, please allow me. I know it's a bit course but I can't help myself.
Right On
For Carrie and Kristen. Need my VM fix, gonna do a marathong this weekend. Whoot!

Sexy people = Good, PETA = Bad.
Sexy people. Yay.
I especially love Lisa Edelstein. I mostly watch House for her.
I have to say, though activism can be sexy, terrorism is not sexy. If you're going to support an animal rights organisation, support one that is not run by psychotic terrorists.

you got it backwards, dearie
Pfft.
oh please, PETA has been linked to terrorist attacks! They gave a gift of thousands of dollars to an arsonist because he's an animal liberation activist!
They don't promote violence publicly but they don't denounce it either. I've never seen them fully denounce violent tactics.
And they'd rather have people die of AIDS instead of finding a cure just because animals are tested.
If they had their way, no one would even be allowed to have pets.
Not to mention their disgusting campaign of comparing the Holocaust to chickens!
I'd rather support a sane Animal Rights organisation that criticises PETA than be in any way connected with these weirdos.

I've heard that vegetarians taste better!
That would definitely be sexy :D

Is it me or does Carrie
PETA = law abiding organisation
PETA has never engaged in any terrorist activities whatsoever! I think it's just a warped perception in our day and age that being willing to use your legitimate right to protest about animal rights issues is a) extreme b) uncool
ie PETA may seem extreme to you and you may equate that with terrorism but actually they have never done anything other than use attention-grabbing media stunts to draw attention to what they feel is overlooked, which in our jaded age of sensory-overload, is the only way to get coverage. Re going veggie, when you find out what is going on with industrial farming, the transition is quite an easy one. There are also loads of veggie alternatives to meat, some of which you can't tell apart from meat.
please try and see the truth here, there is a huge injustice going on in industrial farming of animals. apart from that it has a major direct impact on the land, water, local populations etc. If you think you can stand it, try and watch the film 'Earthlings' which is available for free viewing on the net.
Apart from that..Lisa Edelstein is absolutely stunning (no pun intended)
Heh
PETA has been linked to terrorism. Everybody knows that (or should, anyway).
PETA has been connected to ALF (Animal Liberation Front). They've supported them and donated money to them. The ALF and the ELF (Earth Liberation Front), the FBI has testified, have claimed credit for more than 1,200 criminal incidents from 1990-2004.

By that reasoning, anyone
By that reasoning, anyone who has ever donated to the ALF or the ELF is a terrorist..
I've lifted this from the website of the American Civil Liberties Union, date of 12/2/2004 :
"The FBI is collecting information about nonviolent protesters and law abiding organizations whose issues are as varied as animal rights, protection of the environment, labor rights, United States military policies, social and economic justice in Latin America, and the treatment of Native Americans," said ACLU of Colorado Legal Director Mark Silverstein. "Their advocacy and expressive activities have nothing to do with terrorism."
What
What's that got to do with PETA and their support of terrorist tactics? Nothing.

People for the Ethical Distribution of Information?
I don't like the way PETA uses shame, fear and grotesque images to manipulate people. There's nothing wrong with omnivores eating meat. What's wrong is the way companies treat the animals they slaughter. But there are alternatives that don't involve becoming a strict vegetarian. People should be aware of ALL the options including humane farms.
I always feel like PETA is trying to convince me that I'm a horrible monster. It's extremism. "You either go vegetarian or you're a murder." To me, being ethical means providing all the information to allow someone to develop a reasonable solution that works for them.
ethical?
Aren't you confusing ethical with practical?
"call me old fashioned but I prefer feminism that leaves a little something to the imagination!"
Go Carrie!
Way to go, Carrie! She rightfully deserves the title of #1 Sexiest Vegetarian!
Come on, she's beautiful! =)
