Website Helps New Vegan Transition to Veggie Cuisine
I've gone vegan since January, for compassion reasons, but am getting a huge dividend in weight loss. (At 55, I've been obese for about 25 years.) I've lost about 34 pounds, so I am looking at being thin again in about a year, all without dieting or surgery or any other drastic thing.
But unused to vegan cooking, I searched the web for recipes and came across <www.vrg.org>, among others, and have to tell you how helpful it's been. Thanks!

Dear Jeannie,
Thank you so much for sending VRG's four (4!) boxes of Vegetarian Journal. Wow, are we ever making use of those. People are always asking for info and recipes, and we give them out at our monthly meetings and we give them away when we table. Thank you, thank you, thank you ever so much. We can guarantee you they will all fall into the hands of inquiring and appreciative folks!
Thanks, too, for everything you do. The Veganism in a Nutshell is one of your most popular pamphlets. Rather, one of our most popular pamphlets, I mean, when we table. Everybody loves it. What a work of art (and science)!
Did you see our group get TV coverage on KVAL? (See <www.kval.com/news/local/4691811.html>. Click “Watch Video,” then the play arrow.) Everyone thought it was way cool. That's my husband, Robert, in the video. :) They presented an upbeat, informative report — very supportive of veganism. Yeah!
Again, many, many thanks for all you are and all you do, Jeannie! You're the best!
Peace,
Lin Silvan
