VegSource. This site is so incredibly comprehensive *AND* so well-organized that I'm simply speechless. This is the veg. site to take with you to a desert island. Vegetarian Resource Group (VRG). VRG is impressive -- they offer a free email newsletter, write & publish their own exceptionally practical books, have a guide to raising a vegetarian family, produce lesson plans for teachers, and more. Wow! The Vegetarian Site. They bill themselves as a "vegetarian portal", and that's pretty accurate. From an online store to articles about animals, nutrition, and the environment, they're clearly trying to cover everything. North American Vegetarian Society (NAVS). Large organization which organizes an annual vegetarian conference, and publishes Vegetarian Voice, which I consider to be much more informative and well-produced than Vegetarian Times. They also originated a compaign to help encourage 12 of the largest fast-food retailers to serve vegetarian entrees. NAVS offers a free 16-page booklet with recipes (Vegetarianism: Answers to the Most Commonly Asked Questions), a booklet on vegetarian nutrition (Good Nutrition: A Look at Vegetarian Basics), and a booklet on the environment (Vegetarianism:Tipping the Scales for the Enviroment). To receive paper copies, send a long (legal, #10) self-addressed stamped envelope to: NAVS, Box 72Q, Dolgeville NY 13329. (518) 568-7970.
