Even if you're a meat eater, you can probably appreciate
PETA's annual
Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity contest. Voting is now open for this year's awards, which honor one male and one female celeb for their sexy meat avoidance. Past winners include
Kristen Bell, Prince, Tobey Maguire, and Carrie Underwood.

Sometimes a question comes along that I know you guys would have some great advice for. I'm sure that a lot of you vegetarians out there will really be able to help user
Baby_Jatti with her quest for meat-free proteins. She asked:
"I'm a vegetarian and I am trying to increase my muscle mass.

Although I'm not a full-fledged vegetarian, I do like to eat black-bean burgers,
soy milk, and
tempeh every once in a while because I like that they are cholesterol free. I never really go for meat alternatives that strive to look, taste, and feel like meat though, but since a good friend recommended
Morningstar Farms Chik Patties, I reluctantly agreed to give them a try.
To see what I thought, just read more.

If you're working on getting more protein in your diet, but are concerned about getting too much cholesterol and saturated fat from beef, then tempeh is a great alternative. It has a much firmer consistency than tofu, so many people think it looks and feels more like meat.
Why should you love tempeh?

Whether you're a vegetarian or not, everyone can benefit from adding a little soy to their diet. Although there's some talk about a connection between soy and breast cancer, there's
no evidence to back up the claim. Since soy products are a healthy source of protein they're a great alternative for people trying to cut back on meat and dairy products that are high in cholesterol.
