Letters to the Editors
Veggie Food in Schools
Thanks to Amie Hamlin for her Vegetarian Journal Issue 3, 2018 article "Getting Vegan Food into Elementary Schools." Obviously, to do this is highly desirable from a vegan practitioner's perspective like mine and VRG's. After all, it's at a very young age when most of us humans "learn" what to eat and drink, and a great deal of such learning takes place daily in our schools. Here's to sending Amie's article out to all the animals advocacy organizations, encouraging them to work on this singularly important matter. Clearly, it's one that's in the best interests of our kids' health, our environment's health, and the health and very lives of the so-called "food animals" (a dastardly term if ever there was one — especially from their perspective).

Thanks VRG!
I don't know how you produce all the great recipes you publish in Vegetarian Journal, but I savor all of them every time the magazine comes in the mail. I also enjoy reading about VRG's activism, seeing how the interns write, and knowing I'm part of a kind, compassionate group of people. Thanks for everything.

Thank you so much for your incredibly good work and support of my books over the years. Your magazine and books were the first I'd ever read about vegetarian and vegan concepts and recipes. They ignited my passion and this past weekend, I placed first in each of the six track races at the Florida Senior Games, qualifying me to go to Nationals this summer, the 3rd time I'll do that. That's in addition to the 148 5K or longer races I've placed in since '06 "just" on plants.

Vegan Candy
I am extremely grateful for the information provided in Mimi Clark's article, "Homemade Vegan Holiday Candy" (Vegetarian Journal Issue 4, 2018). I've always shied away from making candy because it seemed daunting. However, Mimi's clear and concise instructions have given me the confidence to delve into this new venture to create vegan candy for family and friends. Thanks, VRG!
