.................. VEGETARIANS BEWARE!..
Did you visit the Vegetarian Table at the JAINA Convention in Chicago?
PIZZA HUT PIZZA IS NOT VEGETARIAN! thanks to Sanjeev Shah (Wawwatosa, WI) for writing to us with this information
WRITE TO US!
Even though many of their phone representatives do not have this information, the Customer Service Department from the corporate office of Pizza Hut has confirmed that they do use Beef Base in their Vegetable Sauces (including Pasta Sauce, Breadstick Sauce, and Pizza Sauce). Obviously, this is not a vegetarian sauce. Not only that, it is also an act of betrayal for ethical vegetarians, like us, who want to avoid animal products. We urge all readers of Jain Digest to tell Pizza Hut that they want a truly vegetarian pizza...no beef base! They are sure to listen to 10,000 callers!
Thousands of Jains visited the Vegetarian and Jiv Daya tables at the JAINA Convention in Chicago, last July. They asked about readymade vegetarian foods, discussed alternatives to silk and leather, and tasted ice cream made without milk! The response was so overwhelming, that we didn't get a chance to talk to all of you, before yet another wave of visitors arrived. So, if you are the helpful woman who asked about lecithin vs. soy lecithin, or the young man who told us hs likes Rice Dream...or if you're just interested in Jiv Daya issues, we'd like to know you. So, get in touch, introduce yourself, and tell us what you thought of our exhibits. Or, just write with your questions and comments for Jiv Daya News. We'd love to hear from you!

Until then, remember: a home-made pizza can be just as tasty. You'll know what's in it. And everyone can have the toppings they choose!
