Beauty Queen Promotes Veganism

Former Miss World Rosanna Davison lends her face to a vegan lifestyle campaign in Ireland.

By Kristen Haney

Irish beauty queen Rosanna Davison wants people to rethink their attitudes toward eating meat. The former Miss World, who became the first Irish contestant to win the title in 2003, is working with satellite channel Supreme Master Television to create promotional materials that emphasize the environmental and health benefits of adopting a vegan diet. Campaign material and posters will be featured on TV3 in Ireland and on public transportation, including buses and Luas—Dublin's light rail train system. Davidson, who became vegan in 2009, also works with The Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA).
