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.
