Follow up to post August 7th about Tofurkey

Well - here is newsletter I got from Turtle Foods. I thought I would post it for all to read :)

"Thank you for signing up for Tofurky Tuesdays!

Our goal is to encourage meat-free meals once a week. Eating more vegetarian meals each week is simple and easy, and these resources will help you in your endeavors.

The Vegetarian Resource Group’s Vegetarianism in a Nutshell and Vegetarian Nutrition for Teenagers are both excellent sources for vegetarian nutritional information.

The Humane Society of the United States also has an excellent Guide to Vegetarian Eating that is full of information on vegetarian eating, factory farming and great vegetarian recipes.

Here is one final resource for information on healthy eating; they have a great selection of cookbooks.

We have calculated that the amount of greenhouse gas emissions reduced by going meatless just one day a week is equal to the amount released when you drive a car that averages 20 mpg 16.5 miles. To track the cumulative effect of our Tofurky Tuesdays project, for each person who signs-up we will move our tricked out “Tofurkymobile” 16.5 miles on a virtual trip to every state in the lower 48. In only six weeks, the Tofurkymobile has traveled 14,817 virtual miles, which equals 898 people pledging to eat meatless one day a week.

Included in your Tofurky Tuesday Care Package are complimentary magazines from the Vegetarian Resource Group, Vegetarian Times and VegNews. If you submitted your mailing address when you signed up, you will receive their publications in four to six weeks. Sorry, magazines cannot be sent to Canada.

Thanks so much for participating. We’d love to hear from you, so drop us a line at support@tofurky.com.

Keep an eye on our virtual journey at www.tofurky.com.

Team Tofurky"
