Ask Veggie Chic Jul
Since my days of vegetarian blogging are numbered, I thought I’d give my readers one last chance to ask me whatever lingering questions you might have for me. Want to know what I eat for breakfast? What my favorite veggie restaurant is? What I really think of PETA? Ask away! I’ll choose my favorite questions and answer them here during May, before I depart.
To submit a question, either put it in the comments of this post or email me at jul@b5media.com.

Is there really such a thing as “Vegetarian Soul Food”?:-)
Bye Y’all,
Rashunda
P.S. I hail from “The South.”:-)
I’m going to have to think about that one, Rashunda. I’ll let you know what I come up with.
If I emailed about the Veggie Chic blogger will I be contacted only if they’re interested or just to verify they received my email?
Mary – I know Kendra receives a lot of interest for open blogger positions, so she probably doesn’t get a chance to reply to all applications individually.
Rashunda – your answer is coming up soon in a new post.
What do you really think of PETA? I’m not overly fond of their tactics.
Stephanie – Coincidentally, I got that very question in an email… answer coming up in a new post next week.
I’d like to say a few things about what I just read with respect to ‘PETA’. Thank goodness we have PETA and Ingrid Newkirk and al the hard working people who work and intern for PETA. The truthfully sad thing about PETA isn’t PETA, it’s the sad fact that the world needs an organization such as PETA at all. There are a lot of vegetarians who choose the diet for their own selfish concerns..it’s not about the animals.. it’s a healthier way to live. I want as many people to be vegetarians no matter what but it would be a much better world if it was for the sake of the animals first, we incidentally benefit from it.
Sure, some of the tactics PETA uses seem or may be radical, and may as you said look like ‘wackjobs’ but look at what they are protesting..now tell me who are the real ‘wackjobs’? Let’s see..KFC boils chickens alive,
lobsters are boiled alive, newborn calves are locked inside tiny crates so their muscles can’t develope and stay soft for human greed and consumption…cows are raped and kept pregnant for the humand greed, baby male chicks are put in meat grinders, thrown in the trash…chickens are locked in tiny cubicles with their feet growing over the wire bottoms, de-beaked..there is just too much horror to put in this comment..this doesn’t scatch the surface.
Now tell me..who are the REAL ‘wackjobs’? Animal rights activists or the humans who work in the meat, dairy and poultry industry and the consumers who support the industry.
How about the fur industry?? You wee where I am going…We know who the ‘wackjobs’ are..it’s not PETA !
Maybe PETA should be able to show films of farm animal abuse and slaughter in every meat department in every food store..give the ‘kept in the dark’ consumer the real deal, not the benign, dumbed down version offered world wide in advertising and presentation of meat as food.
All for money and greed.
