Angela Simmons Nude Photo Shoot with PETA, Vegan Campaign (VIDEO)
Angela Simmons is known for stepping in front of the camera, but know one has ever seen her nude, until now.
In the latest PETA campaign, the daughter of hip hop icon Rev. Run and niece of hip hop mogul Russell Simmons bares all in an effort to spread the message; “Eating Meat Is a Sin: Go Vegetarian.”
“I really want people to know what happens to animals,” said Angela Simmons. “Animals have feelings, and I think it’s important we take action.“
According to PETA, “Animals raised for food are crammed by the thousands into filthy sheds and confined to wire cages, gestation crates, or barren dirt lots without the opportunity to ever feel grass beneath their feet or sunshine on their backs. When they have grown large enough, animals on factory farms are crowded onto trucks and transported many miles through all weather extremes to the slaughterhouse, where they have their throats slit, are scalded alive, or have their bodies hacked apart “piece by piece,” as one meat inspector described.”
Angela’s uncle Russell Simmons is a well known vegetarian. When elaborating on being a vegan Angela says, “I’m happy with it. I feel lighter—it’s a good feeling.” In addition to combating the cruelty of factory farming, adopting a vegetarian diet is the best thing that you can do for your health. Meat consumption has been linked to our nation’s biggest ailments, including heart disease, obesity, diabetes, strokes, and cancer. The American Dietetic Association states that vegetarian or vegan diets “are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.“
