Every year, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) holds an online poll where the public can vote for who they feel is the sexiest vegetarian. This year, the top two were Kevin Eubanks - jazz guitarist and bandleader for The Tonight Show, and Carrie Underwood, who claimed the title for the second time after winning in 2005 as well.
Past winners have included Kristin Bell and Prince in 2006, Underwood and Chris Martin in 2005, Alicia Silverstone and Andre 3000 in 2004, Lauren Bush and Josh Hartnett in 2003, Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman in 2002, and Shania Twain - who in 2001 was the first celebrity to win the title.
I have to admit, my vote would have been for Joaquin Phoenix, but I'm not complaining about Eubanks winning, either.

I like animals as much as the next person, but where ya'll are confused is that animals don't have souls, they don't go to doggie heaven or the big farm in the sky. they grow, they die, we eat. no big deal, i think the goats and cows and horsies are pretty too, but i think a ribeye, a fried catfish and a pork chop are beautiful too.

I ate a chicken breast and within less than an hour I felt wonderful. I firmly believe in what the original poster stated. We are all different and have different dietary needs. Too bad we can't respect each other and just accept the differences.

I voted in that contest and what I thought was the most intriguing part of the contest was that there were so many famous vegetarians- and by the way a great majority of them are wonderfully sexy.
Second, as a former meat eater- who is aware of the incisors we have to tear meat from the bone, I need to point out that we also have a gall bladder to process the raw fat and kidneys to process the animal protein. Do you regularly hunt your own animal, slaughter it with your own hands and thus rip the flesh from the still warm animal? No, you probably go to your local grocery store and select the most affordable and desirable cut. You go home and cook it never thinking of the process through which the animal had to be born, live and be killed for your eating pleasure. Yes, we are omnivores, but our bodies thrive on vegetables and grains (both great sources of protein as well, just on a smaller scale) Your argument does not hold water because when you lose all of your teeth, you gall bladder or your kidneys- where does that place you on the food chain? Probably eating mashed up fruits and veggies.
It is about living simply so that others may simply live.

why did he make them out of meat?

When you are invited to eat at their house, there's no way they'll fire up the barbeque and slap a steak on for you. You're expected to eat what they do. Not really fair is it?

For every vegan how many plants have to die.While you think you're making a difference by saving animals you're murdering plants by the thousands and millions.When you be picky and choosy about your top grade quality,you should be a little more concerned with what you're doing to replace the plant population. Which is is crucial to the worlds existence and that should be raised and nurtured in abundance instead of murdered and citicized.

As a matter a fact quite the opposite. We have Flatten teeth with molars that mash like a cow and other non eating animals (Used for mashing vegetables & fruits) and we do not have teeth made for tearing flesh like a lion or dog have. The K-9 side fangs you refer to are no where near a meat eating animals K-9's as you infer and are more consistent with teeth used for the tearing of fruit skins. You need to take a closer look at a dogs teeth and then compare them to your teeth. Unless if your teeth are really fu*ked up, I'm sure you will notice the difference upon closer inspection ... In the Beginning of the Bible...it states in Genesis... God created all fruit and seed bearing trees & plants for man to eat... It wasn't till after Adam & Eve sinned that we were given the right to use animals for food... What we need to know as rulers above all other living creatures is that we will be held accountable for the way we treat gods creations. We didn't create these animals but we are the rulers of the universe we live in ... there for will be held most responsible for how we take care of all Gods creation. By having no regard for the life God created is a huge sin... We need to all get off our High Horses and realize when we die we will all be held accountable for our actions while on earth...

Besides, there are also things that you'd miss that are meat in food-gelatin, glycerin, mono and diglycerides, medium chain triglycerides, etc. However, I tried avoiding all that and it really is a miserable existence-no bread!!! But I still consider myself a vegetarian, and I've been one since I was born (funny story behind that-especially since I'm Polish/Italian). Anyway, I just don't eat because I don't want to-why argue about ethics or stuff like that? Though I do enjoy the occasional philosophical debate, if you analyze this for too long if will drive you crazy-I speak from experience.

However, as this parody points out, the road to revenge can sometimes take an unexpected turn:
