Being vegan makes you tough and sexy

It's easy to dismiss "professional" wrestling as fake, a fraud, and a sham. But there's a much, much bigger scam being perpetrated on unsuspecting humans: the meat-based diet. Taryn Terrell (a.k.a. "Tiffany") of the WWE may be as much entertainer as athlete but she sure as hell ain't buying all of what Corporate America is selling. Tiffany sez:
"For the last 3 and a half years, I have been working on a long journey to becoming a vegan. My first and main reason behind this lifestyle change is the moral and ethical rights of animals. I am speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves. I am a strong proponent for the humane treatment of animals and am making my stand known by not ingesting any animal products whatsoever. That's right! No meat, no dairy, no eggs...the list goes on. In short, no animal products or animal by-products"
Taryn's stand may include baring her, um, soul on the pages of Playboy but it doesn't preclude grassroots efforts like designing and auctioning off eco-friendly cards for a good cause.
No wonder PETA named the 25-year-old wrestling plant-eater one of the world's sexiest vegetarians in 2009.
