PETA's list of Sexiest Vegetarians Celebrities 2012 lacking in Black Beauties

Leona Lewis, former winner of PETAs Sexiest Vegetarain Celebrity

PETA has announced its list of the 100 Sexiest Celebrity Vegetarians of 2012. While every starlet is a contender, I was struck by the lack of black women on the list. While black men make up 14 out of dreamy 50 male nominees, only 4 black women are listed amongst the 50 veggie vixens. So what gives?

I mean Leona Lewis, Serena Williams, Robin Quivers and Angela Simmons are all gorgeous, but there are lots of other black female vegetarian celebrities that could have been listed this year.

If they'd have asked me, I would have included some of these sexy black vegetarian female celebrities.

Erykah Badu - Musician, Actress and Vegan

Angela Bassett - Actress and Vegetarian

Joy Bryant - Actress, Animal Rights Activist and Vegetarian

Tina Turner - Legend and Vegetarian

Nia Long - Actress and Vegetarian

Alicia Keys - Singer and vegetarian

India Arie - Singer, Song Writer, Vegetarian

Happy Birthday to Hip Hop Vegan, Andre 3000

 It's May 27, which means that Roots and Greens has the honour of celebrating the birthday one our favourite human beings and commited vegan, Mr. Andre 3000. Along with performing serious services to awesomeness with hip hop crew Outkast, Andre 3000 has dabbled in acting, activism, fashion, and music production. His commitment to the cause earned him a place as PETA's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity in 2004. For his birthday, I put on the Love Below and I've prepared a special Andre 3000 inspired vegan meal that even Ms. Jackson would like. Happy birthday Dre, I hope you like the Bombs over Butter bean Cassoulet with Idle -Wild Rice and Spinachplayalisticohsosimpesideofsalad as much as I did.

  Idle-Wild Rice

Wild rice needs a little bit more prep than most store bought rice. I used a Thai Glutinous Black Rice for this and it need to be soaked for a hour before I could put it in rice cooker - but it was worth the wait for the beautiful colour and nutty flavour of the rice. I'll be honest, though, I didn't find it that sticky!
