The golden era has already seen
many compassionate souls actively committing themselves to promoting
green lifestyles. Miss United Kingdom Universe 2005, Brooke Johnston,
is one of those beautiful people who employs her celebrity status
in a positive way by making a constant effort to awaken people from
the habit of a cruel and unhealthy meat diet.
Brooke
has not only been a vegetarian for 12 years, but is also an activist
on behalf of animal rights. Recently, Brooke was invited to pose
for the latest ad campaign of People For the Ethical Treatment of
Animals (PETA). Called “Turn Over a New Leaf: Try Vegetarian,”
its aim is to raise awareness and promote change for animal rights
and vegetarianism.
Brooke Johnston became a vegetarian
at the age of 15 when she found out how animals were treated and
brutally killed in factory farms. During the PETA campaign Brooke
urged people to give vegetarian food a try, even just for a weekend,
so that they could experience the improvement of their health, energy
and mood. She remarked that she found it hard to believe that people
can feel compassion for an abused child on the news but don’t
feel the same for animals that spend their lives mistreated and
imprisoned in cages. She encouraged people to do some research about
how animals are treated in the factory farms and then think about
whether they should contribute to that appalling suffering.
“Vegetarianism is really
easy and delicious, and it can make a big change in how you feel
about yourself and your energy levels,” says Johnston.
