Sheena Spikes is Chicago’s sexiest
vegetarian. She is a nominee in PETA’s “Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door”
competition and is 1 of 16 female finalists chosen out of more than a
thousand entries in the United States and Canada.
View all the candidate profiles and place your vote at either
www.goveg.com or www.peta.org by March 11, 2009.
Sheena Spikes lives in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago with her
husband and fellow vegan, Ryan, and their two dogs, Mason and Phoenix.
Since June 2008, Sheena has adopted a vegan diet in order to combat a
hereditary predisposition to heart disease, lead a healthier
lifestyle, promote ethical treatment of animals, and help save the
earth. In addition to gaining personal benefits of veganism, Sheena
also actively promotes healthy eating in the Chicago community.
Chicago Diner is one of Sheena’s favorite Chicago vegetarian restaurants
the vegan Gyros being one of her favorite dishes.
Although Sheena realizes that a completely vegetarian diet is not for
everyone, she thinks that it should be noted that reportedly, “If each
American reduced his or her meat consumption by just 5 percent,
roughly equivalent to eating one less dish of meat each week, enough
grain would be saved to feed 25 million people - the number estimated
to go hungry in the United States each day.” Also, animal waste is
the principle source of water pollution and according to the EPA, the
largest source of methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas
contributing to climate change.
Sheena Spikes thinks that people should vote for her as PETA’s
“Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door” because she truly believes in promoting
a vegan diet and educating others on the many benefits of adopting the
lifestyle. Weight loss, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, feeling
and looking great are just a few of the advantages of a vegetarian or
vegan diet. Sheena would like to target and educate young adults and
low-income communities who seldom have access to healthier food
choices. Ultimately, Sheena hopes to garner enough attention about
vegetarianism/veganism to erase the associated stigmas and raise
public awareness of this important issue.
