I just saw that Ryan from The Ruby Suns has been nominated as Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity of the Year at PETAAsiaPacific.com! I'm a big fan of his and I'm so happy to see he has a compassionate side for animals.

Posted by Sarah88 8.32PM, 14 May 2009Ryan apparently made the switch in diet because of the horrific conditions on factory farms where animals are raised for food as well as the devastating effect meat production has on the environment and the great health benefits of a meat free diet. Who knew!
