Carrie Underwood Gets Booed For Saying She’s Vegetarian
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 29th, 2009 in Female Singers, Videos.
Although her parents were cattle ranchers, American Idol alum and country music singer Carrie Underwood became vegetarian during her teens when she was still living with them.
While mom and dad were supportive of her diet, not everyone she encounters while touring in some areas are as welcoming.
She says she has to be careful while performing in places where cattle ranching is big, because there’s a chance if she announces she’s vegetarian, she’ll get booed.
“I’m a vegetarian and there are some parts of the United States where you do not announce that to the audience,” she explains. “And while the crowd might be kind of playing with me, sometimes if I do let that slip, I do get booed. So it’s something I’m working on-keeping me vegetarianism to myself.”
Watch the video to hear Carrie explain keeping her secret to herself and find out what musician she admires.

I grew up in Oklahoma too, so I know what she means about cattle ranches. I am not vegetarian, but so close it wouldnt be a big change.
Carrie use to go sit with my Uncle Coby when he wasn’t able to be left alone, my cousin Pam said Carrie is a great person. So if everyone would look at a person’s personality instead of what they eat, that would be one less thing for people to argue about.

Well, I think that what she doesn’t realize is that the reason she gets booed in cattle farming areas of the country is because she is a staunch supporter of HSUS. The humane society of the United States is against animal agriculture and she is one of their biggest fund raisers. As a result of this alleigance she is alienating her fan base in cattle country. Now don’t get me wrong this is her right certainly, but don’t avidly raise money to help support ending our lifestyles and then act surprised about us reacting unfavorably.
