In 2002 VegNews founded the Veggie Awards, our annual readers' poll of the best of everything veg. It's the largest survey of its kind in the world and proof of the dozens of wonderful reasons why more people are making the life-affirming decision to live as harmlessly, and peacefully, as possible. And it's only getting easier, with new foods, products, restaurants, stores, and travel destinations being offered each and every day. The Veggie Awards is our way of celebrating what this compassionate lifestyle affirms--and one that the VegNews team looks forward to bringing you each year.

So sit back, grab a cup of your favorite tea or juice and maybe a cookie (or brownie, or soy ice cream, or...), and discover who, what, and where you selected as the 2004 Veggie Award recipients. You'll find some obvious favorites, and a few surprises. And remember, while only one person, product, or company can tally the most votes, all who offer or promote a cruelty-free lifestyle are truly “winners.” Enjoy!
