Commentary:
This is a substantive, well-organized, and balanced site that appears to promote and explain vegetarianism without appearing strident or overly political. Easy to read and navigate, it provides news, recipes, nutrition information, links, and ideas for those interested in becoming or remaining vegetarians. Articles in the "Journal" section are informative and appropriately referenced; archives date back for several years. Admittedly, the entire journal is not online, but the section is by no means a "teaser"--complete text is provided for the articles and recipes excerpted.

The "Vegan Information" and "Vegetarian Nutrition" sections cover veganism, vegetarianism, animal rights, and vegetarian diets for teens, seniors, and pregnant women. Three of the guides are written in Spanish. "Vegetarian Nutrition" also addresses dietary concerns of vegetarians with articles on iron, calcium, vitamin B-12, and other important nutrients. Most of these guides are outlined at the beginning, allowing the user to jump to sections of interest. This site is an excellent resource for consumers and may also have some appeal for professionals.
