Vegetarian Links
The World Wide Web (WWW or simply "the Web") creates links between many of the Internet's resources. Here are some of the more popular vegetarian sites.

  • Vegetarian Resource Group Home Page http://www.vrg.org/ This site contains all of the VRG's electronically available material including past issues of Vegetarian Journal.
  • Animal Rights Resources Site http://www.envirolink.org/ Home to many vegetarian and animal rights groups.
  • Veggies Unite! http://www.vegweb.com/ Among its many fine features, this site offers a huge searchable database of vegetarian recipes.
  • The World Animal Network http://www.worldanimal.net/ Formerly the World Animals' Directory, this site contains thousands of listings for animal-friendly groups and vegetarian groups all over the world.
  • International Vegetarian Union http://www.ivu.org A great site for those of you looking for recipes from around the world as well as travel information and a cross-section of what is happening with vegetarianism on a global scale.
  • VegSource http://www.vegsource.org/ This site has bulletin boards, chats, links, recipes, and over a dozen satellite sites that it hosts.

A word of caution about websites and the Internet in general: just because you found a piece of information on the Web does not mean it is true. Anyone can put up a website and put whatever they like on it. In many instances, incorrect information has been copied from site to site and never verified. If you're not familiar with the person or group hosting a website, make sure you double-check any information you've found on that site.
