VeggieGlobal is the best veggie site I've seen. All I'll like to know is what types of vegetarians you get and what makes them different, is it what they eat or religion? please let me know. Thank you.

VeggieGlobal Replies: Thanks for your lovely comments! That's really kind of you.
People turn veggie for various reasons. A few years back most did so for ethical reasons ... simply because they felt particularly strongly about eating animals that had been killed and butchered on their behalf.
But recently, vegetarianism has turned into a loosely applied a trend for people's personal health interests as well. I say loosely applied because, that kind of person isn't really vegetarian since he or she may not aspire to its "natural" ethics ... It's a healthy lifestyle statment - whereby they may occasionally still eat fish and other creatures that once had a pulse and a pair of eyes! They are more concerned about avoiding contact with the drugs, which farm animals are pumped up with, or else catching BSE or Foot and Mouth Disease!.
As far as religious reasons, its hard to tell. This site doesn't involve itself in either religious or political opinion. I think the site seems to draw in a wide variety of free spirited people. Particularly since it's not a relic of the old school vegetarian clique! VeggieGlobal and Looking-Glass just expresses what feels instinctively right, without all the pomp and finger wagging!

Chaque fois que je reviens sur ce site, je suis émerveillée par l'ambiguïté de ce labyrinthe magique. J'ai peine à croire que ceci est l'oeuvre d'une seule et même personne à moins que ce ne soit un génie...ou un fou de perfection ? Mais la folie n'est jamais loin du génie....

I'm amazed about your sites, which I was lucky to find through a friend of mine who is also a great animal lover. Together, amongst all others we are fighting against injustice and cruelty to animals all over the world; we are SO disgusted about what people do to this beautiful earth and nature. How on earth are we (human race) capable of doing this ?? It is 5 to12 !!! As always, the red string through all these stories is "dirty" big money - where men loose all his senses...... I read about the situation of the Chinese bears and cant believe the major welfare organizations can't stop these practices. Are we still living in the Middle Ages?? S. H, Belgium

Question: I am trying to get to the vegan stage but i am not sure about getting rid of milk...is soy milk, milk? or like soy bean extract..please help.i don't want to drink it anymore but i am scared of osteoperosis...

VeggieGlobal Replies: Soymilk does not contain any form of dairy product. In other words it is not derived from animals. Soy milk is made by grinding soaked, then cooked Soya beans, then pressing them to squeeze the "juice" out of them. To get the milk flavour, vanilla essence is normally added. When soymilk is processed during commercial manufacturing, you'll find that more chemical type additives, flavouring, thickeners and preservatives are included to make it taste more like dairy milk. It's best to shop around and check on the ingredients listing to find the most "natural" type of soymilk.

I've been a vegetarian for three years and a vegan for five years and I'm expanding my knowledge more and more when Veggie Global as a source provides me with the information you provide. It will be beneficial for me and you. I'll recommend my friends over. Thanks a lot! N. F, Bronx NY

hi, global collapse, global harmonics, raising consciousness, is the path i've been on for as long as i can remember. something i was born to do. read "the final empire" by wm. kotke and i have my doubts about a "peaceful, controllable collapse" of this culture. i'm preparing myself for the crunch and looking everywhere i can for info. the most important movie i've seen recently has been "the matrix". the wachowski brothers know what they are talking about. looking forward to learning more from this site. thanks.

I'm not a vegtarian but,i thought about being a vegan.I like the idea of banning fossil fuels sometime before 2010 the sooner the better.I believe we have the technology to convert to free energy or other alternatives now.If we don't wake up and do something than we will not only be destroying our environment but, all humanity.I think VeggieGlobal and websites like it are a great tool to educate people on what's really going on.

I love it. (Looking-Glass) I was wondering why not try to sell the documentary film called The Animals'Film diected by Victor Schonfeld and narrated by Julie Christy. It is a great educational tool for people and do not understand why it is not utilized as it should be.. I am an animal rights activist and enviromentalist. K.M. USA

Looking-Glass replies: We have have tried to trace the film in question and it appears that it has not been released on either VHS or DVD, but we will inform subscribers via the site as soon as it becomes available. (and subsequently make it available through our Amazon links - keep an eye on the DotCompassion Zone at VeggieGlobal )

This is a truly fantastic site, and I really love your dreambeat way of thinking.. I really hope this site attracts many users as I feel it has a very positive outlook, at present I can find no letters, other users , ads or anything other than the information provided. I was personally drawn to this site on a search for dream interpretation... and I have passed this address on. I really hope this site continues, I would be really sad to see it shut.. peace and blessings to you ,,,,ps I love love love! the interactive graphics,,, thank you for helping me to slow down.....
