The Worlds Sexiest Vegetarian Over 50

You'll never guess the actual age of Mimi Kirk,
 PETA's "Sexiest Vegetarian Over 50." 


As the oldest person to enter PETA's contest by nearly a decade, Mimi competed for "Sexiest Vegetarian Over 50" with no intention of winning. She was by far the oldest person to enter the contest and says that the youngest contestant was young enough to be her daughter. Can you guess how old she might be? Prepare to me amazed. Mimi is now 72 YEARS OLD! 


She looks absolutely fantastic and shows little to no signs of aging. Good genes? Of course. However, Mimi largely attributes her ache and pain-free 72-year-old physique to her mostly raw food vegan diet. She claims to have endless amounts of energy and feels better than she ever has in her life. She also admits to not exercising much and therefore really believes that her switch to a vegetarian and eventually vegan diet is what has kept her young all these years. 

Mimi is now a published author (Live Raw Recipe Book) and is truly an inspiration to the vegetarian community and to people of all ages. Her motto is: "Enjoy life, try new things, and fulfill your dreams. Don't let anger, judgement, or stress take over a day of your life. Give love, show compassion."

Box Chocolates For Your Vegan Valentine


With Valentines Day coming up, you might be stressing out about what in the world you're supposed to buy your vegan Valentine (No chocolate = No Valentines Day, right?). Well don't fret, being vegan doesn't mean giving up chocolate and there are plenty of box chocolate options for you to choose from!

 If you're not quite adventurous enough to put your vegan baking skills to the test (or lets face it, if you're a guy), then Vegansaurus has posted some vegan-friendly chocolates that won't break the bank. I have also added a few of my own favorites, so between all of these yummy treats, there's no way your vegan Valentine will be disappointed!
