The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) bestowed the title on the two musicians following their annual online poll honouring celebrities for their lifestyle choice.
"I am vegetarian so I don't have clothes, shoes or bags made from leather or suede or any animal products. ... I'm on a mission," Lewis, 23, is quoted as saying on peta.org.
Kiedis, 45, said he went vegan after learning about the worldwide depletion of fish in the oceans, as well as a doctor's recommendation of a healthy vegan diet for his son.
"Soon after I [went vegan] I saw some documentary footage of what happens in the factory farming of cows .... It sealed the deal," Kiedis added.
Others in the running this year included Casey Affleck, Emily Deschanel and Andre 3000, while past winners include Carrie Underwood, Chris Martin and Tobey Maguire.
