"Animal byproducts are so bad for our bodies, and I feel as though my body is now pure and clean. I have so much energy and life now," she told the magazine. "I also feel great knowing I don't contribute to any deaths of any innocent creatures."

The average vegan saves more than 100 animals' lives every year—not to mention saving themselves from obesity, cancer, strokes, and heart disease. And if Rachel's "Green Goddess" figure is any indication, the benefits don't stop there. Join Rachel in being a "goddess" for animals.

After PETA learned that Bree Olson, one of Charlie Sheen's "goddesses" adheres to a healthy and cruelty-free vegan diet, we were inspired to name her an honorary Lettuce Lady, or, in Olson's case, a "green goddess." Wouldn't she look winning (duh!) in one of these?
