Ok, so they weren’t completely naked, but the guy (former “Sexiest Vegetarian” finalist from Sweden, Ludvig Lindstrom) was wearing nowt but boxer shorts and the girl (Joanne Sim) a saucy red number. This morning, the brave couple got down and dirty in a passionate embrace on a bed right outside of Smithfield Meat Market, Islington.

Why were they snogging for all and sundry to see? To let the butchers, and shoppers of course, know that vegetarians make better lovers – literally. On average, vegetarians are more fit and trim, and have more energy and stamina than people who eat fat-laden meat, dairy products and eggs. And veggies don’t have to rely on Viagra to be up for the task - the cholesterol in meat and other animal products causes hardening of the arteries, slowing the flow of blood to all the body’s vital organs. And I’m not just talking about the heart here. Ahem.

Speaking of heart, there’s nothing sexy about someone who turns a blind eye to the daily suffering of the billions of animals raised and killed for food.

So today is the day – will you be proposing to your boyfriend… that he go veg? Or are you expecting the proposal from your miss at some point today?

Going vegetarian or vegan is a great way to celebrate this special day, and your heart will thank you for it (so will the animals.) I want to know if you did this and what the results are! Joleen, Noemy at al – how did the big proposal go?

One blogger decided to give veganism a go for lent after seeing my entry on it and the results after just three weeks show a great success.

In a request to nearly 130,000 people, PETA is asking all its female members and supporters to get down on bended knee, look their beloved in the eye and propose…that they Go Vegetarian for Leap Day!

The 29th of February is traditionally a day where women ask men to marry them, but we feel a more fun and important use of this auspicious day is to ask the men in our lives to go veg for the day. Not got a boyfriend? No problem! Ask your brother, dad, or anyone you love to do the best thing for the animals and their own health and ditch the meat and fish for 24 hours… or more.

PETA wants all women to show how important it is that their loved ones do this, as millions of animals are suffering around the world at the hands of the meat industry. Check out VegCooking.com for delicious recipes to create a taste sensation for your amour.
