A Note on ShippingVegan Outreach works to minimize costs. This is why we ask for people
to order boxes of 300 copies of Why Vegan and/or Vegetarian
Living if they will be able to use them over time. It costs about
$7-8 to ship a box from the printer via UPS; if it is shipped here
first, and then sent to an activist 100 at a time via Priority Mail,
our shipping costs are quadruple what they have to be (shipping to
the office, then three times shipped out), or over 10¢ a booklet
– more than the basic printing cost!
NewsNote – we don't endorse all the news links we pass along;
PCRM in the NewsAlthough the group behind this has been exposed for what they are, that discussion didn't make it into the Washington Times.
Teenage Vegetarian Interviews SoughtBetty Cichy would like to talk on the phone to some teens, particularly
teens who grew up eating meat and then made the decision to stop.
She is specifically interested in how their famlies dealt with that
decision and how they cope at mealtimes – does the teen make his or
her food, for example, or has the whole family changed its eating
habits?

From the cover story of the Jan. 2002 issue of Egg Industry:"There are very few egg producers who will look at the year 2001 with fond memories. In fact, one has to have a sense of humor just to get through the year."

Ecoterrorism on NPR"In last few years so-called "ecoterrorists" have burned Vail mountain, causing $12 million in damage, attacked forest service outposts in Oregon, and intimidated and threatened public employees. Now, lawmakers are trying to understand the motivation for such violence. Craig Rosebraugh, spokesman for the Earth Liberation Front, has just testified before Congress." (direct RealAudio link)
Back to Our Roots: Nationwide Multimedia Vegan Advocacy Tour!Vegan Outreach was founded on the belief that the key to animal
liberation is to alter society’s view of animals as food. After
many discussions, experiments, and false starts, Vegan Outreach began
in earnest when Jack Norris spent two school years traveling the
country, devoting his days to leafletting at colleges and universities
(during which time he personally handed over 50,000 copies of Why
Vegan to individuals), and giving talks to local activists. By
the end of the second year, Vegan Outreach had a substantial network
of activists ordering copies of our literature to distribute in their
areas. To this day, we continue to focus on meeting the demand of
activists and organizations for effective literature.
