MEMBERSHIP Remembering Jon Jon Wynne-Tyson, who died earlier this year at age 95, was an author and publisher best known in vegan and animal rights circles for his books Food for a Future and The Extended Circle: A Dictionary of Humane Thought. First published in 1975, Food for a Future included a chapter entitled ‘The Further Step’, described in the Winter 1985 issue of The Vegan as “the most forceful presentation of the logic of veganism ever committed to paper.” Mark Gold, vegan author and former director of Animal Aid, recalls: “Jon was a civilised and sympathetic man with a passion for promoting the causes of animal rights, veganism and humanitarianism. As well as writing skilful fiction and non-fiction with a pro-vegan message, he set up his own publishing company, Centaur Press, to bring other important books to wider public attention. His ‘anthology of humane thought’, The Extended Circle, remains an invaluable resource for anybody who wants to know a little more about all the great men and women who have spoken out for compassion and non-violence – from ancient times to the end of the twentieth century.” Paul Appleby
Star Letter I am a secondary school teacher from Herefordshire and I am very grateful that you included the Vegan Eatwell Guide in the last edition of the magazine. I teach cooking and nutrition to students aged 11–16 and the Eatwell Guide is a massive part of the current curriculum. I have displayed the Guide in my classroom along with other vegetarian and vegan resources so students can refer to it throughout their learning. Rebecca
