The results are in, and PETA has finally found what they’ve been looking for all these years. Some wildly sexy vegetarians!

Despite what the naysayers may be naysaying, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals always have noble goals. Sure, some of their tactics may be questionable, but who wouldn’t support neo-hippies running through the streets naked in some bizarre protest against leather? In a further attempt to completely throw the natural order of things off kilter, PETA will try to convert the carnivore nation to their plant eating ways by proving that not only can vegetarians be rich and famous, but sexy too. That’s right friend, throw out your weights, chuck that Clearasil and cancel that appointment with your plastic surgeon, because with a simple vegetarian diet, you too can be as sexy as Mr. Andre 3000 or Ms Alicia Silverstone.

The annual PETA-run contest to find the world’s sexiest vegetarian attracted more than 12,000 bored online voters who chose from a long list of male and female veg-heads. Pitted against the likes of Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis, Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder and the ever-sexy Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Andre 3000 still somehow came out on top. The funner and funkier side of OutKast, Andre once stated that, if it was his last day on Earth, his final meal would most likely be broccoli. Now, there’s nothing wrong with vegetarianism, but how lame a last meal is that?

On the female side of things, the former Aerosmith girl who gave a very blurred hand gesture to her boyfriend after bungee-jumping off a bridge had stiff competition of her own. Challenged by the likes of Fiona Apple, Erykah Badu, K.D. Lang and Natalies Portman and Imbruglia, Silverstone joined the illustrious ranks of Lauren Bush and Shania Twain as sexiest female vegetarian.

I think an honourable mention is in order for Weird Al Yankovic for finally having his name and the word "sexy" in the same sentence.
