PETA launches contest to
find the hottest vegans in the UK and Ireland
THE celebrity world certainly has its
fair share of hot vegans; including:- Ellie Goulding, Natalie Portman, Jessica
Chastain, Jared Leto, David Haye and Joaquin Phoenix; but PETA wants to
recognise all the people in the UK and Ireland who've made the compassionate
choice to stay away from unhealthy meat, eggs and dairy foods. That's why the
group has just launched its 2016 Hottest Vegan UK and Ireland contest, giving
every person who has made the smart decision to go vegan a chance to shine.
In addition to an envy inducing title, the winners; 1 male and 1 female; will
each receive a 1 night stay for 2, at the luxury boutique hotel, La Suite West,
in London, which will include a vegan breakfast as well as a dinner prepared by
renowned Head Chef Nik Heartland at the hotel's plant based restaurant, RAW.
There are many reasons to make the switch to plant based eating: each vegan
saves approximately 100 animals a year from the horrors of the abattoir, and
vegans tend to be fitter than meat eaters. Concern for the planet is also a
factor, as raising animals for food is a leading cause of water consumption and
pollution, land degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. More people than ever
are eating vegan; 20% of 18 to 24 year olds choose to ditch animal derived
foods, according to research group Mintel.
"Vegans are, on average, slimmer and healthier and have more energy than their
meat eating peers; plus there's nothing sexier than compassion. Everyone who
enters this contest is already a winner for eating delicious, healthy foods that
didn't harm a hair, feather or fin on an animal's body." says PETA
Director Mimi Bekhechi.
Entrants must be at least 18 years of age. Vegans can enter the contest using
this online form. The entry round ends on 29 May 2016. 2 factors will be given
consideration by PETA in its selection of finalists: PETA's assessment of the
enthusiasm demonstrated by each qualified entrant in promoting vegan living and
PETA's assessment of each qualified entrant's attractiveness.
The finalists will be announced by 3 June 2016. Public voting to help PETA
decide whom it will choose as the winners will begin on:- 3 June 2016 and end
on:- 17 June 2016.
3 factors will be given consideration by PETA
in its selection of the 2 winners (1 male and 1 female):-
► The number of
public votes received by each finalist.
► PETA's assessment of the enthusiasm demonstrated by
each finalist in promoting vegan living.
► PETA's assessment of each finalist's attractiveness.
The winners will be notified and announced on:- 21 June 2016.
