Animal-rights group PeTA has announced the winners of it’s “Sexiest Vegetarian Alive” contest. The winners are Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman.
Natalie Portman, who stars as Queen Amidala in the soon-to-be-released Star Wars prequel Attack of the Clones, has been a strict vegetarian since she was 8, after seeing a demonstration of laser surgery on a chicken
at a medical conference with her father. She does not eat meat of any
kind and avoids gelatin and cheeses that contain rennet (a
milk-curdling enzyme taken from the stomachs of small farm animals
like calves or sheep).
What’s so sexy about that? I like a girl who uses her exiquisitely pointed canines to tear into the flesh of a tender young rabbit or veal cutlet, and then wipes the blood dripping down her chin with the back of her hand.
