Have you heard the latest about Leona Lewis, singer of iTune’s most popular track of the year, “Bleeding Love,” and holder of PETA’s 2008 Sexiest Vegetarian? She’s currently developing her own line of cruelty-free cosmetics and recently set a record with her newest single….
Grammy-nominated singer and veg-darling Leona Lewis’ latest single set the record for fastest-selling digital track in the UK. Nearly 70,000 downloads in the first two days place her single, a cover of Snow Patrol’s “Run,” at number one.
She has been a vegetarian since she was 12 and equated sausage with pig. “I stopped eating meat; got really ill because I didn’t know what else to eat. The process of killing animals is cruel. That’s my belief. I don’t push it on anyone else. But it would be nice if people could have the option of not buying something that’s leather.”
Leona’s attitude to being a vegetarian sums her up. She’s radical and determined and extremely soft and gentle. No, she doesn’t push it on anyone else. She would just like to have a part in everybody having a choice. It’s a subtle kind of determination and it’s really quite clever.
