article... my rant and plea for you to take action :-) Veg. Times?

[Guest guest]

I used to get that Natural Health but quit because of articles like

that. It got way to meat oriented for me. I will send them an e-mail,

though.

 

I'm thinking about taking Vegetarian Times again to support my

friend's daughter who is selling mags for her school. Is it vegan

friendly these days? I would appreciate opinions from any

of you fine folks who . I already take the VRG's mag and

Good Medicine from PCRM so I really kind-of have enough to read

already. I used to take VT, but quit because I didn't think it was

vegan enough for my tastes.

 

Thanks,

 

Tracy

A lot of the recipes do contain dairy.

I think VT has a decent selection of recipes for vegans. A magazine I

like better, though, is VegNews. It's more of a lifestyle magazine,

though--not so many recipes: www.vegnews.com
