Friday, June 08, 2007 Alicia Mayer takes early lead in annual sexiest vegetarian poll
ACTRESS and FHM cover model Alicia Mayer — known for her role as Sussy on the popular sitcom “Lagot Ka Isusumbong Kita!” aired over GMA-7 — has taken an early lead in the annual World’s Sexiest Vegetarian poll, which was just launched on www.PETA.org.
Mayer, who has always had a soft spot for animals, has been a vegetarian since viewing video footage of factory farms on www.PETA.org.
In the month-long poll, which is sponsored by People’s Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) US, Mayer is duking it out with other celebrity contenders, including Isabel Roces, Corey Wills, Chin Chin Gutierrez, and Yasmien Kurdi.
Previous winners of the poll include Carrie Underwood, Chris Martin, Andre 3000, Tobey Maguire, Prince, Alicia Silverstone, Shania Twain, Kristen Bell, and Natalie Portman.
“When you look at the more than 200 gorgeous celebrities in this year’s poll, there are no bones about it—a vegetarian diet makes you beautiful inside and out,” says Peta Asia Pacific director Jason Baker.
“After all, going vegetarian is the best thing that you can do for animals, the Earth, and yourself. Plus, everyone knows that there’s nothing sexier than someone who exudes both passion and compassion,” Baker added.
The results of PETA US’ World’s Sexiest Vegetarian poll will be revealed in late June. A complete list of the vegetarian celebrities who are in the running is available at www.PETA.org.
