Gainesville, Ga. — What do American Idol winner Carrie Underwood and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin have in common? They are the reigning king and queen of PETA’s annual "Sexiest Vegetarian Alive" contest, in which visitors to PETA’s GoVeg.com Web site voted for their favorite vegetarian celebrities. Now, PETA has expanded its contest to include the vegetarian boy or girl next door. After the first round of votes was tallied, 25-year-old Gainesville resident Woody Brown beat out hundreds of entrants from the United States and Canada as one of 10 male finalists.
Woody works at a mental health hospital, helping teenagers who are recovering from addictions. While doing this important work, he convinced the hospital’s cafeteria to stock veggie burgers so that patients could enjoy healthy, tasty food. Woody is the lead singer of the band The Modern Society, which earned a nomination for "Best Band in Atlanta" at the 2005 Atlanta Music Guide Awards. Woody’s photo and bio, along with pictures of the other hot hunks and veggie vixens selected as finalists, can be viewed at GoVeg.com. The contest ends March 31st.
"On average, vegetarians are thinner and healthier than meat-eaters," says PETA Vegan Campaign Director Bruce Friedrich. "One look at our radiant lineup of sexy vegetarian finalists and it’s clear that they’re all winners."
High-resolution photos are available upon request. For more information and to vote in the contest, please visit GoVeg.com.
