Sexiest Vegetarians 2007

Posted by Jill Harris Jun 27, 2007

The famous group known for their animal-rights tactics have recently released a list of the Sexiest Vegetarians 2007 - and it is packed with some pretty good evidence that vegetarianism does a body good!

In the celebrity category, Kevin Eubanks of the Tonight Show was tops, apparently thanks in part to a “push” by Jay Leno on the show. I don’t watch Jay Leno, but hundreds of thousands of people probably do! It’s great to see vegetarianism becoming mainstream. But wait…digging a little bit deeper shows that perhaps he isn’t vegetarian after all.

He eats fish (sometimes twice daily!), and that definitely is not vegetarian!

Thumbs-down to Kevin Eubanks for marketing himself as vegetarian, when in fact – if you’ll believe it – fish is not a plant. Not sexy.

Luckily, the female celebrity winner is legit - congratulations Carrie Underwood! For the second time (she also won in 2005) this blond bombshell has taken the female honours. After growing up in the Southern USA where farming is the norm, Carrie remains true to her cause, even sporting “V is for Vegetarian” t-shirts at her concerts.

There is also an extensive list of “runners-up” featuring some well-known (and some lesser-known!) celebrity vegetarians. New ones to me include Weird Al Yankovic, Billy Idol and Mary Tyler Moore.

Not to forget about those of us who are no-so-famous, it’s worth a look at the “Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door” winners, Jessica Comolli and Drew Winter. These sexy veg*ns strive to promote their cause as well, which is extra appealing. Bookmark that PETA site, because that could be you, next year!

Besides the excuse to look at some vegetarian gelatin-free eye candy, it is worth noting the extensive number of men on the celebrity list– personal experience had me guessing that female vegetarians far outnumber their male counterparts. But a quick glance at the list says it ain’t so! That’s good news for the ladies as it seems there are plenty of fish in the sea…and they’re not for eating.

Luckily, the female celebrity winner brings sexy back – congratulations Carrie Underwood! For the second time (she also won in 2005) this blond bombshell has taken the female honours. After growing up in the Southern USA where farming is the norm, she sure is gutsy. True to her cause, she even sports “V is for vegetarian” t-shirts at her concerts.
