Filipinos in PETA Sexiest Vegetarians of 2008
British pop star Leona Lewis and Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis were named the Sexiest Vegetarians of 2008 by tens of thousands of votes on PETA.org. Hollywood stars Kristen Bell, Emily Deschanel, Milo Ventimiglia, Casey Affleck, Abbie Cornish, Hayden Panettiere and Jason Schwartzman, among others also made it on the list.
Previous winners of PETA’s World’s Sexiest Vegetarians contest include Carrie Underwood, Prince, Kevin Eubanks, Natalie Portman, Shania Twain, Chris Martin, Andre 3000, Tobey Maguire, Josh Hartnett, Alicia Silverstone and Lauren Bush.
Vegetarianism has steadily grown in popularity and public awareness over the past couple of years. Advocates acknowledge the significance of having vegetarian celebrities as ambassadors to promote the cause on a worldwide scale. Here in the Philippines, the call to consume only vegetables and fruits instead of meat has drawn support from some popular personalities.
