Vegetarian Star

PETA likes to host dozens of contests involving sexy people who don’t eat meat, and it’s time for the senior citizens to flaunt their thing, with the “Sexiest Vegetarian Over 50” contest.

The vegs over 50 are in good company, with celebs like Paul McCartney, Prince, James Cromwell, Russell Simmons, Cloris Leachman, and Emmylou Harris.

Sixty two year old Emmylou has been involved with animal organizations like the Best Friends Animal Society, recorded public service announcements on taking good care of your pets, and even runs a dog shelter in her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee.

If you’re a sexy veg and over 50, why not enter the contest?

The finalists will be narrowed down on July 24th, then readers can vote and the winner in both the male and female category will be announced August 24.

Those voted the sexiest receive a gift basket from Vegan Divine.

You’re taking the best steps toward living another century, lowering your health care costs, and looking great.

And it’s cool to tell the kids and grand kids, “When I was your age, worshipping seitan meant a completely different thing.”

James Cromwell recently attended a screening of Fuel, a film about America’s dependency on oil and the need for alternative energy sources.

The Green Girls caught up with James during the screening to ask what lifestyle changes he had made to go “green.”

“I made a lifestyle change in 1975 when I became a vegetarian, and in ’94 when I became a vegan,” Cromwell said.

“If everybody would do that, we’d save a lot of water, a lot of land use, a lot wasted energy bringing protein to people through animals, a lot of suffering and a lot of greenhouse gases.”

“If people [would] just [cut out meat for] one meal a week, and then one day a week, and then maybe one week a year, they could make an incredible difference.”

Cromwell showed his humorous side when asked if he went “cold turkey” in going vegetarian.

“I went the whole hog,” he joked.

Cromwell sees going vegetarian as a “choice” rather than a “decision” because when you make decisions, it becomes an either/or situation and you “leave things out that are important,” rather than educating yourself on what makes a balanced veg diet and how to incorporate different foods into it.

Watch the video to hear the rest of the interview with James.

Warning: there is a creepy flashback of the early 90s Wayne’s World movie when The Green Girls play their musical slogan at the end of the video.
