Ellie Goulding has been recognised for one of the UK’s Hottest Vegetarian Celebrities of 2015 by animal rights organization, People of the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) because Ellie is vegetarian and publicly speaking about her meat-free diet and benefits of it.
Ellie has been posting and often speaking out about her vegetarian lifestyle, saying that since she’d given up meat, she’s noticed her skin is different, how her eyes are brighter and her hair healthier. She feels much better physically and credits the new eating habit as the one way she can stay fit and honour performance commitments in the time where many of fellow performers back out from doing a show due to their illness.
