in yesterday's NewYorkTimes , Brad Stone reported on a couple of new developments in the publishing world.

in today's NewYorkTimes, and I couldn't resist posting.

11), about vegan-friendly fashion: Not only is it chic to wear fashion that has some conscience and imagination to it, but there also is a marvelous inner feeling of knowing that one is not using one’s clothing to wage a war on nature. To the Editor: Re “ Uncruel Beauty ” (Thursday Styles, Jan.
All food that comes from plants is cholesterol-free, so a vegetarian or vegan diet does wonders for lowering cholesterol levels. Humans, and most animals, produce cholesterol naturally, but the problem is when we “supplement” this biologically occurring substance. That is when I went vegetarian.
To the Editor: Re “ Egg Producers and Humane Society Urging Federal Standard on Hen Cages ” (Business Day, July 8): I’m a vegetarian who turned vegan after coming to terms with the fact that just because I was eating hormone-free, antibiotic-free, even free-range organic eggs didn’t mean that egg-producing hens were living a cruelty-free life.
Compassionate consumers can take a stand against this cruelty by choosing vegan options. It is no more acceptable to confine 60 hens for their entire lives in a cage that you report is “about the size of a Ford F-150 pickup truck’s flatbed” than it would be to treat 60 cats similarly.
But there is indeed a simple answer to these problems: Go vegan. Elaine Sloan NewYork, Jan. To the Editor: Re “ Rethinking the Meat-Guzzler ” (Week in Review, Jan.

Niman obscures the well-evidenced connection between veganism and environmentalism.

People who have eaten meat and dairy products their entire lives, often simply can't imagine what vegans eat.

Still skeptical about how tasty vegan fare can be?
Steiner might feel less lonely as an ethical vegan—he says he has just five vegan friends—if he recognized that he has allies in mere vegetarians (like me), ethical omnivores and even carnivores. Go vegan, go vegetarian, go humane or just eat less meat. Alexander Mauskop NewYork, Nov. Jean Kazez Dallas, Nov.
To the Editor: Re “ Death by Veganism ,” by Nina Planck (Op-Ed, May 21): I am a nutritionist who testified as an expert witness for the prosecution in the criminal trial of the parents of Crown Shakur. As the lead prosecutor in this case told the jury, this poor infant was not killed by a vegan diet. Contrary to Ms.
My doctor says my tremendous health and strength are due to my being a vegan. In my 40s, I became a vegetarian because I was saving sick and injured birds, and I just couldn’t eat them and save them. Push-ups, sit-ups, carrying 50-pound bags of bird seed—and I will be 71 in May. I still have the same six-pack stomach I had in the Marines.

Today's NewYorkTimes gives us Adam Shriver's Op-Ed " Not Grass-Fed, But at Least Pain-Free ," which presents its dilemma at the end: If we cannot avoid factory farms altogether, the least we can do is eliminate the unpleasantness of pain in the animals that must live and die on them.
