Update
2007 - A word of thanks from VeggieGlobal / Looking-Glass
Thank
you to those who have recently discovered VeggieGlobal at Looking-Glass
and who have commented on the sites with such kind words.
As you can see below it has been quiet a few years since these letters
pages have been updated, but since then the sites have received
many thousands of compliments, which we graciously thank you for!
We will try and find time to update these letters pages sometime
in the future. Overall, your response gives a welcoming indicator
that the continuing work in creating this web environment has been
worthwhile - and hopefully will generate a positive flow in the
long term.
However, the important task of running these sites is to keep you
up to date through the editorials, campaigns and appeals, so please
explore the activities on this on-line retreat where you can also
read and leave comments corresponding to the issues in question
- particularly on the campaign sites.
Please remember that any donations through CauseClick

Thank you once again!

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.

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. D.H, Canada

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. A.M, United States

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
)

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
