Personal life

She came in second on PETA2's World's Sexiest vegetarian 2008. [http://www.peta2.com/outthere/o-sexyveg08_winners.asp] As well as her views on vegetarianism, Greta has also discussed her political views. In a recent issue of Alternative Press magazine, Greta spoke out about whether America was ready for change;

"The educated youth of American are ready to have a president in office who will take us out of Iraq, be committed to environmental change and refine the health care system. Beyond that, we need an overall renaissance. we need to make organic farming more prominent and accessible, make the arts more present in schools, preserve forests and wildlife in America and educate students to make decisions to help our generation take responsibility for this world. I'm hoping that by electing a president who will inspire hope in the youth, something like a renaissance will begin." [http://community.livejournal.com/the_hushsound/120473.html]
