Visitors of Peta India website cast their votes to decide the most alluring celebs
Shahid Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor have beaten their fellow contenders from B-Town to become PETA India's Hottest Vegetarian Celebrities. Both the vegetarians have been choosing plant-based foods making them more popular than ever. Shahid and Sonam beat out a strong group of competitors, including Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, Kangana Ranaut, Vidyut Jammwal, R Madhavan, and Sunny Leone.
"I stopped eating meat 4–5 years ago", Sonam, winner of several film awards, told the Deccan Chronicle in August. "What has happened now is that I've stopped taking milk and milk products. I am lacto-sensitive. A lot of people are lacto-sensitive. But they don't realise it."
"I love chicks, pigs, cows, fish, and all the other animals, too. That's why I turned vegetarian", Shahid has said. "I am very happy being a vegetarian and I believe that it is the best way to be," she added.
"Sonam and Shahid are fit, hot, and compassionate, and they're setting a great example for their fans and millions of people who want to fight climate change with their forks", says Sachin Bangera, PETA India's associate director of celebrity and public relations. "Both of PETA India's winners prove that there is nothing sexier than compassion towards animals, which they show every time they sit down for a meal."
As seen in PETA's exposé video, Glass Walls, in today's industrialised meat and dairy industries, chickens' throats are cut while they're still conscious, fish suffocate or are cut open while they're still alive, pigs are often stabbed in the heart as they scream in pain, and calves are torn away from their mothers within hours of birth. At the slaughterhouse, animals are often killed in full view of one another and even dismembered while they are conscious and can feel pain.
In addition to causing animal suffering on a massive scale, eating meat has been conclusively linked to heart disease, strokes, diabetes, cancer, and obesity.A United Nations report concluded that a global shift towards a plant-based diet is necessary to combat the worst effects of climate change.
