- The following information is copied from brochureds put out by
- the North American Vegetarian Society.
-
- "The NAVS has launched the 'VEGETARIAN EXPRESS Fast Food
- Campaign" to help prompt 11 of the largest fast food chains
- to provide low-fat, no-cholesterol, meat-free, fish-free
- dairy-free, low-sodium entrees--meals that would appeal to
- the average consumer, the health conscious and those concerned
- about the welfare of animals and the environment. Preferably,
- such entrees would have no or minimal amounts of preservatives
- as well.
-
- "You can help make vegetarian entrees possible at fast food
- restaurants even if you eat only occassional meatless meals.
- Send your signature, name and address to: NAVS, PO Box 72,
- Dolgeville NY 13329, and NAVS will count you as a consumer
- who wants all-plant vegetarian entrees."
-
- Personally written letters targeted at specific companies,
- however, have far more impact than a list of names. You
- can call or write one of the following fast food chains
- (listed in IMHO order of importance) to tell them you want
- an all-plant entree with no meat, fish, fowl, eggs or
- dairy, and little or no preservatives. Send copies of your
- correspondence to NAVS.
-
- NAVS reccomends all letters and calls be upbeat and possitive--
- after all, what we want is an upbeat and positive alternative!
