THANKS FOR THE LITERATURE
Thank you very much for sending us vegan literature to hand out at a local health expo that will take place at a shopping mall here in Buffalo, NY.

NO LONGER ABLE TO FIND YVES VEGGIE GROUND NEAR ME
I live in Florida and have been vegan for three years. For two years, I bought Yves Veggie Ground in Walmart, but haven't been able to find it for at least a year. I have checked every Walmart I drive by. Can anyone tell me where I can find it?

Editors' Note: If you go here: http://www.yvesveggie.com/products/store-locator.php you can see if a store near you carries Yves Veggie Ground Round (gives store names and phone numbers so you can call ahead). Other ground round refrigerated products are produced by Lightlife: https://lightlife.com/products/beef and Tofurky: http://www.tofurky.com/what-we-make/tofurky/ground-beef-style/#flavormenu. There are also several frozen ground beef crumble products from Gardein, etc.
THINGS ARE CHANGING
Thank you for all your on-going work. Things are changing thanks to organizations like The Vegetarian Resource Group!

PETS AND LIVESTOCK: THE DOUBLE STANDARD
Professor Sager is right to point out the unfortunate difference in the way we think about and treat our pets and so-called "livestock." I wish he had extended that double-standard to our treatment of wildlife — we slaughter them for "sport" and trophies, imprison them in zoos, and destroy their habitat for development. I hope that we vegans and vegetarians think about all non-human animals, not just those we rightfully don't consume for food.
