Appreciate Affordable Ways to Eat Vegan
I much appreciated the efforts of VRG intern Hannah Greene to create a meal plan that meets the financial limits of the SNAP program, and Taylor Gale’s work with formerly homeless men. Making vegan eating affordable is a great way to spread the message to many who might not otherwise have the means to buy the sometimes pricey ingredients in some vegan recipes. Perhaps, along with a nutritional analysis, recipes featured in the Vegetarian Journal should also include a cost scale.

Need Vegan Posters
Hello, I’m head of catering in a very large private school in Devon, England. We are opening a new vegan/vegetarian food bar and I was wondering if you had any posters, etc., that we can use on our opening week? Many thanks!

Do You Know of Any Vegan Alternatives to Chapstick®?
Do you know of a good vegan replacement for Chapstick®? I’ve tried a couple, but they just didn’t work. My lips still felt dry and rough. Any ideas? Thanks.

Senior Editor’s response:
Absolutely. I'd suggest either Hurraw, see: www.hurrawbalm.com or Pacifica, see: www.pacificabeauty.com. Both brands are in my purse right now and are excellent options to take care of dry, chapped lips!
Vegan Options in Mexico's Baja Peninsula
We spent a couple of months in Mexico’s Baja Peninsula this past winter and were pleasantly surprised at all the vegan options. We love that there are now all-vegan spots with Mexican food. We love trying the local cuisine when visiting an area, but sometimes the vegan options are from other ethnic cuisines. Here’s a link to our post showing all the vegan food we found: www.veganrv.com/being-vegan-in-baja.
