As a vegan, thank you for featuring Tabitha Philips and her efforts to promote vegan baked goods (“Contest calls for vegan variations,” June 16).

Demand for alternatives to traditionally non-vegan products like donuts is increasing as the number of vegans continues to grow.

Tabitha proves it is possible to create unique confections without compromising taste or ethics.

In addition, vegan desserts appeal to any health-conscious consumer desiring a treat free of unhealthy cholesterol and saturated fat.

There are plenty of reasons for caring consumers to avoid Dunkin’ Donuts.

In a recent investigation by Compassion over Killing, an undercover employee discovered horrific signs of suffering at a factory farm owned by Michael Foods, a major egg supplier to Dunkin’ Donuts, including hens crammed together in cages unable to move as well as dead and injured birds interspersed with live birds.
