Say "How you doin'?" to Kristin Gerhart. The 23-year-old Chicagoan is one of the ten finalists in PETA's "Sexy Vegetarian Next Door" competition. According to the press release we received from PETA, Miss Gerhart, a film editor, "regularly hosts vegan dinner parties (including a vegan Oscar party), volunteers at the Anti-Cruelty Society, and enjoys rock climbing and bike riding. She recently adopted a vegan diet (after going vegetarian five years ago) and says that since the switch, she feels more energetic, lighter, and generally more at peace."

The press release also contains a quote from PETA vice President Tracy Reiman stating, "On average, vegetarians are slimmer and healthier than meat-eaters are, and that makes them sexier too." We'll enter now as Exhibit A arguing that risible claim: Milwaukee Brewers first baseman and noted vegetarian Prince Fielder.
