Comments Off on Leona Lewis Considers Posing For PETA
Leona Lewis may be the next vegetarian to pose for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
The singer said she’d consider one of the animal rights group campaigns, such as the famous “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” posters.
“I would love to do a campaign for them in the future,” Leona said, according to The Mirror. “I’d definitely look to do something if it was done tastefully and for the plight of animals everywhere around the world.”
Fans of Daryl Hannah might see less of her on screen, unless there’s a casting for the female Evan Almighty in the works.
Hannah says she prefers spending time with her animals than on a movie set, according to Contact Music.
“I’ve been acting since I was 11 years old and it’s an incredibly wonderful and beautiful creative outlet and I think it can be an inspiring thing for people’s imaginations and a wonderful escape,” Hannah said.
“I still love movies and I always will but, as I grow up, my priorities shift a little bit to things of a little more substance and I want to be of service as much as I can.”
Having alpacas, chickens and roosters, she’s got plenty of non human friends to give her attention to.
Hannah says she often takes in rescue animals and the ones she doesn’t give away become permanent residents at her farm.
Sharing the spotlight with the vegetarian singer is her dog Ace.
“He seems like one in a million, but unfortunately, he’s not,” Carrie says. “Four million great dogs like him end up in shelters and breed rescues every year.”

Comments Off on Hannah Teter New Athlete After Giving Up Animal Products
It’s always great to learn about the dozens of successful vegetarian athletes, and veggie newcomer Hannah Teter has just made the meatless world proud.
Teter took the Silver Medal in the Women’s snowboard half pipe competition at the Vancouver Olympic games.
She’s been a vegetarian for about a year and says she couldn’t feel better.
“I feel stronger than I’ve ever been, mentally, physically, and emotionally,” Teter told Huffington Post. “My plant-based diet has opened up more doors to being an athlete. It’s a whole other level that I’m elevating to. I stopped eating animals about a year ago, and it’s a new life. I feel like a new person, a new athlete.”
Through her charity, Hannah’s Gold, Teter was able to extend the privilege of having access to quality food by making it easier for people in Kenya to grow their own food.
“One of the first projects we did was to provide Kirindon with basic farming tools and organic seeds. They have all the land and decent soil, but they just don’t have the tools.”

“There is a great variety of fresh fruits and vegetables in season in the winter. Just because it’s cold out doesn’t mean you have to give up these foods! Even if it comes from a state or two away, it’s still better than importing fruits from another country, which can raise the cost of the food due to shipping, and it’s not what Mother Nature intended for us to eat in the winter. We need hearty foods that will keep us warm! There are clementine and mandarin oranges, grapefruit, pears, persimmons, lots of root vegetables such as turnips, sweet potatoes, and rutabagas. Leeks, kale, fennel, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, and radicchio!”
