I was vegetarian for about nine years before I picked up the first issue of “Herbivore.” I went vegan by the time I put it down. I can’t say exactly what it was in that issue that made me make that change, but I’ve been a loyal devotee since. Sad to hear that it’s coming to an end. And, yeah, what that other person said… do a vegan parenting book. I would really, really like an Herbivore vegan parenting book.

I’m very sorry to hear about the folding of the magazine. My boyfriend and I have been so inspired by the publication and I was just about to finally subscribe. Furthermore, as a magazine junkie and someone who works in publishing, I have found Herbivore to be incredibly impressive and high-quality in comparison to any magazine in any subject matter. You’ve built something to be very proud of.

Best of luck with your future endeavors. I look forward to more books and visiting the store in person when my boyfriend and I travel to Portland this June!

This is potentially sad news but I have a feeling even better things are coming (cue Bouncing Souls’ song, “Better Things” here). You guys have done amazing work all of these years and I know this will make room for beautiful new ideas.

Your friends holding it down in the south,
Shawna & Rich

First a joke:

Q: What’s Josh Hooten, the famous book publisher’s, blood type?
A: typo

HA!

for Isa:
Was the corns on my feet recipe in VWAV or Veganomicon? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Wow I’m on a roll.

but seriously folks:

Congrats on such a great run with the magazine. Good luck on your future projects.

Well I am very sad and unhappy about it. So many other magazines have bit the dust and now you guys are as well, I am very worried about the future for animals if all these voices become/remain silent.
Being out in Kansas makes it big drag to be vegan sometimes and your magazine was like a little life boat reminding me that their ARE people out there who trying to make things better…
I am gonna miss ya and pout for a very long time.

Dude, Josh, you rule and can do little wrong in my eyes. We trust your decision and look forward to more enticing and forward-thinking ventures in the future, which I’m not shy about begging include a vegan parenting book and more freaking Naked Vaygun podcasts.

I’m sad about this because, and I will deny it if you ever bring it up, I think you’re funny. A tubby old jerk, but funny. I guess i’ll have to dry my tears on the stale writings of Vegetarian Times.

Boo. Understandable, but still boo.

I’m glad that the clothing is still going to be around, I’ve been eyeing some stuff.

Nooooooooooooooo……I’m so sad. Awwww, man. That’s sad news. Thamks for doing it the last five years, guys…I’ve always been loyal. You’ll do other fabulous things, I’m sure. But, I’m still sad. Sad, sad, sad. Sad.
