Teen Champions Veganism at Every Turn Using VRG Brochures

Hello! My name is Antoinette, I'm 17, and I'm a vegan. I want to promote the lifestyle in a peaceful yet efficient way. It would, therefore, be very helpful and mean a great deal to me if you would send 15 of the "Vegan Diets in a Nutshell" and 15 "What is Animal Rights?" brochures. I would like to hand them out to people in effective ways (i.e., outside stores, to people at my school, when I go on trips, etc.). This would be a great way for me to promote a vegan lifestyle. Thank you!

VRG Happily Fills Requests for Archived Journal Articles

In response to Men Made of Soybeans: What We Learned from P.O.W.s in World War II in the January/February 1996 issue of VJ:

Hi, everyone–
Many years ago (12 or so?), there was an article in Vegetarian Journal written by a former POW (prisoner of war) in Japan. The point of the article was the valueof the soybeans that were given to the POWs at some point. I saved the article but cannot find it. I was just telling someone about it, and they have requested a copy. Is there a way I can get a copy of that article? I'm sorry, but I can't remember the author or the exact year. Thanks for any help you can give me.

In response to the Veggie Bits in Issue 4, 2007:

Hi, Keryl–
We got the copies of the latest Vegetarian Journal with the writeup on the creamy Sheese. Thanks a bunch for sending them down, and of course, for the nice writeup. The creamy Sheese was a big hit at the Natural Products Expo, so we are quite pleased.
