I have fed Charles Hobson Booger, III and Violet Rays every type of diet from raw (as in, turkey necks and chicken backs) to pre-made raw (comes in patties with greens and bones and supplements in it), to homemade vegan to Evolution to pre-made vegan ingredients to a combo. Despite Violet's diabetes, she was never the problem.

Niman for pasturing the animals to provide all the beef, turkey, chicken and pork eaten in this country? Niman obscures the well-evidenced connection between veganism and environmentalism. And how much land would be required to contain ranches like the one owned by Ms. Would no forests need to be cut down to create the pastures?

To the Editor: Re “ Suddenly, the Hunt Is On for Cage-Free Eggs ” (front page, Aug. 12): While this is a step in the right direction toward reducing the animal abuse inherent in all factory farming (from the chicken’s point of view), it’s still a long way from what nature intended.
