Vegetarian Star

When Leona Lewis refused to open a sale at Harrods Department store because it sold fur, many applauded her decision to stand by her beliefs.

But not everybody thought it was best decision to turn down over a million dollars, even if it came from a store which stocked those products.

“I am outspoken, especially if it’s to do with animal welfare,” Leona told Scotland’s The Big Issue.

“I got a lot of flak for the Harrods decision. There were people who said I should have done it and given the money to charity, but that would have been such a contradiction because doing it on one hand to give on the other is not helping anything.”

Leona’s sophomore album, Echo, comes out on November 17.

“I definitely have moments when I come home and shut the door and think that all I want to do is sing. But then I think, wait a minute — how are people going to hear my music? The bottom line is that if I can inspire, create awareness and help someone or an animal in any way, then it’s all been worth it”

—-Leona Lewis, in an interview with The Big Issue magazine.

Leona’s definitely doing her job, as she never fails to bring up her vegetarian diet and lifestyle in interviews and public appearances.

Leona’s sophomore album, Echo, is set to debut November 17.
