Sadie Frost and Meg Mathews were judges in the first-ever vegan fashion awards sponsored by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

The actress and vegetarian said of her opportunity:

“My two greatest passions are fashion and helping animals, so I was thrilled when PETA asked me to help judge their fashion awards. It’s phenomenal how many retailers and top designers are using pleather, micro-suede and faux cashmere in their collections, and the quality is amazing. The new fabrics are kinder not only to animals but also to the environment.”

After it’s premiere last week, it appears that The Taste is treating vegans like many other reality cooking shows–avoiding them like vegetarians avoid the vegetable soup with chicken broth.

Ludo Lefebvre: “Oh uh oh.”
Brian Malarkey: “I need meat cooked on my team.”
Nigella Lawson: “I’m confused.”
