PETA Names the Sexiest Vegetarians of 2008
Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis and popstar Leona Lewis have been named the Sexiest Vegetarians of 2008 by PETA. The award was determined by number of votes from tens of thousands of visitors to PETA.org.
Kiedis became a vegan after learning about the worldwide depletion of fish in the oceans and after a doctor recommended a healthy vegan diet for his son. In his autobiography, Scar Tissue, he says,
“Soon after I [went vegan] I saw some documentary footage of what happens in the factory farming of cows …. It sealed the deal.”
As for Lewis, she’s a die hard vegetarian and says,
“I am vegetarian so I don’t have clothes, shoes or bags made from leather or suede or any animal products. … I’m on a mission.”
The two beat out other popular vegetarians including Carrie Underwood, Natalie Portman, Hayden Panettiere, Shania Twain, Prince, André 3000, Jared Leto, and Tobey Maguire. Interestingly enough, Jessica Simpson wasn’t on the list. Sorry! I couldn’t resist!
What do you think about their decision? Would you have voted for Leona and Anthony or would your green vote have gone to someone else?






[...] Hayden Panettiere can’t wait for baseball season! The petite actress showed some muscle throwing around a baseball during a break on the set of her NBC show Heroes. We love that Hayden fits in a little exercise (and a great arm and shoulder workout) with or without the gym! [...]
