Do you know Carrie Underwood, of American Idol fame, is a Vegetarian? According to wikipedia, she has been meat-free since the age of 13, because of her love of animals. The year 2005 was a very big year for Carrie Underwood, she won the fifth season of American Idol, she was voted “Sexiest Vegetarian” in 2005 by PETA, and she just about won every major music award there was to win that year. Carrie was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma on March 10, 1983 (she is 24) and she supports many veggie organizations and has contributed her name, face and money to more than a few since 2005. We salute Carrie Underwood for being vocal about her meat-free lifetsyle and for shining the light on vegetarianism all over the globe.

Veggie-Blogs was created, April 7th, to provide Insight into the Vegetarian Lifestyle and to provide my personal commentary on all things about Vegetarianism. My name is Missy and i live in Winona, MS with my partner and three rascally feline friends.

Veggie-Blogs was also created to keep tabs on the growing blogs created by folks from around the world regarding Vegetarianism. According to research a new blog is created every 8 seconds. You can find blogs through a variety of means, search is one avenue, but you can narrow down your topic or subject matter better with blog directories.

Are you interested in learning about becoming a vegetarian? Seeking veggie recipes? Need the latest resource or trend on meat-free diets? Wanna meet other vegetarians?

I aim to assemble the largest directory of Veggie-Blogs on Blogger. Why Blogs? Because blogs allow you to meet like-minded individuals, learn, share, network, sometimes even earn a few bucks. Businesses use blogs to communicate with their customers and to report updates or news on what’s happening with their companies. My primary focus will be new blogs created and submitted to blog directories for, about, and by vegetarians. Visit and see which ones make the cut at Veggie-Blogs.
