Became a vegetarian seven or eight years ago, Maggie Q is urging others to follow in her footstep. The actress and former fashion model is going almost naked for PETA Asia-Pacific's new veggie ads.

The beauty has on Monday September 24th attended a press conference to promote vegetarianism, during which organizers released two posters featuring her as the model.

Claiming she wants to draw the public's attention to vegetarianism in an extreme way, Maggie was featured in one of the sexy posters wearing nothing but a sexy bikini made entirely of strategically placed lettuce leaves next to the tagline "Turn Over a New Leaf - Try Vegetarian!"

The other poster sees her posed nearly nude in a bed of crimson chili peppers to spread the word that going vegetarian is the best way to "spice up your life" as well as help animals, your health, and the environment.

Says that giving meat the boot is one of the most rewarding decisions she has ever made, Maggie admits "I feel better, I have more energy on and off the set, and I have the satisfaction of knowing that I'm doing something to help stop animal suffering."
