Do you think this guy's sexy?
No one will ever convince me that vegetarianism is sexy, or healthy.

Underwood, Martin Are Sexiest Vegetarians
1 hour, 58 minutes ago
If only Bo Bice had cut down on the ribs. Carrie Underwood, who beat out Bice to win the "American Idol" crown in May, was voted the "World's Sexiest Vegetarian" in PETA's annual online poll. She shares the honor with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
More than 13,000 votes were cast in the contest run by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the animal rights group announced Tuesday.
Underwood, a 22-year-old Oklahoma native, wore a "V for Vegetarian" T-shirt on the Fox show. Martin, 28, and his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, made headlines when they gave their 1-year-old daughter, Apple, a vegan birthday cake.
Underwood and Martin beat out other famous veggie lovers including David Duchovny, Reese Witherspoon, Avril Lavigne, Joaquin Phoenix and Prince.
Last year, Andre 3000 of OutKast and Alicia Silverstone won the "sexiest vegetarian" title. Other previous winners include Tobey Maguire, Lauren Bush and Shania Twain.

I did too...think he smokes Camels unfiltered.

Cruel, but made me LOL! : D
I was a little tongue in cheek, but serious too. River was also a vegan and claimed only to eat natural, organic foods.
Strange mindset. Like ordering the Big Mac, large fry & small diet coke. (Not that I've ever done that, of course!)
Carrie's a vegan??? Oy.
I just knew there was something about her I didn't like, LOL!
Actually, I love animals. I'm the type who won't kill a spider I find inside my home, but will get it to crawl into something so it can be moved outside. Yet I eat meat. More chicken and fish than red meat, but I do enjoy a nice steak once in awhile. While I don't pretend to understand why, God in his infinite wisdom designed virtually all species to eat other living things for nourishment. "Other living things" includes plants and animals.
This is disappointing news about Carrie. There are worse things to be than a vegan, but ... I don't know. My antennae twitches whenever I hear somebody say that they're a vegetarian. It sounds trendy and phony and just plain unnatural.
Couldn't let your comment go by.
God gave us the choice not to kill to live; animals have no choice in what they're designed to eat. By claiming that we SHOULD eat a creature that's been destroyed simply because it's POSSIBLE is lowering humanity to the level of unthinking animals.
Respect for life involves respect for All life.
For the record: I'm an ex-hunter and vegetarian of 20+ years.
I don't know if you're saying you thought that was my point, but just in case -- you misunderstood.
What I said was that God designed most creatures to eat other living things, both plants and animals. Last time I check, human beings are among God's creations, i.e., creatures. He designed us to eat other living things. If some of us choose to eat only plant matter, that's fine by me. However, we part ways with your point here: "By claiming that we SHOULD eat a creature that's been destroyed simply because it's POSSIBLE is lowering humanity to the level of unthinking animals."
We are neither raised up above animals by eating only plant matter nor lowered below them by eating meat. God designed us as omnivores.
Jesus ate fish and He IS God. You can serve your false god but don't expect others who know better to also.
When you start putting your wife out in a tent when she is having her period (as per Leviticus), then you can preach to me. Otherwise, you're just another bible-thumping hypocrite.
Oh, and that's Leviticus 15. The "separation" was mistranslated; the original Hebrew says "put into a tent."
Back when you first started pounding the Bible and spreading hate, I went through the trouble of getting a degree in theology, though, admittedly, from a Methodist college.
You must loathe living in a free country.
Gentiles don't have to follow levitical law as per Galations 2:14. You theology is sorely lacking which explains all the tofu.
Rant rant rant.
"Only the part of the bible that agrees with my behavior counts!!!"
I grew up in the Bible Belt and have listened to theocrats like yourself all my life.
Rant rant rant.
YOU attacked my vegetarianism first, by claiming your faith was genuine, and mine is suspect.
You broke into my discussion with a third party in order to bible-pound.
Don't get all hissy-self-righteous with me, son.
blah blah blah
I'm really, really tired how you evangalistas think you own conservatism.
Also, both my Catholic wife and my Southern Baptist daddy are sick of you self-righteous types as well. Bible-thumpers have been quite a shock to my wife, in particular, since she was born in Cuba, where, prior to the communist takeover, religious tolerance was the rule, unlike where ever ayatollah wannabees like yourself infest the land.
I'll concede for the sake of peace: you have the ear of Jesus and know all. God despises me because I think you're a nut.
Now go take your hate somewhere else.
