Dax Shepard Declines PETA Sexiest Title Because He Eats Chicken
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 28th, 2013 in Actors, Actresses, Couples, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian.
Dax Shepard and his romantic partner Kristen Bell both won PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian in the male and female categories, respectively.
But Shepard has recently sent out a notice that he has to decline the honor, citing giving in to a chicken craving as the reason for disqualification.
The Parenthood actor sent out a Tweet saying: “I’m really flattered to be named ‘Sexiest Vegetarian’ with ?@IMKristenBell, but sadly I can’t accept in good conscience because I eat chicken.”
“I was vegan for a year, but that ended 6 months ago. I aspire to be more like ?@IMKristenBell, but I’m not there yet,” he said in a follow-up tweet.”
PETA has offered to help Shepard with his goal of returning by introducing him to the world of faux chicken.
“We’re delighted to recognize Kristen Bell as our Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity,” the animal rights group said in a statement.
“She sets a wonderful example of kindness to animals and healthy living to her countless fans, including Dax! We love Dax, and we’re glad to read that he’s aspiring to be more like Kristen. We are here to help with recipes and our vegetarian starter kit, and we’ll be sending the couple a delicious gift basket of Beyond Meat and Gardein veggie chicken products.”
