I want to thank Avery Yale Kamila for her thorough analysis that focuses on recent developments regarding vegan meats and milks (“Is meat eating trending down around the world?” Dec. 20). Being a vegetarian for about 30 years and vegan for about 15 years, I like the fact that vegan faux meat products are selling […]

Letter to the Editor: Collins put together good deal for Maine
As a business owner in Maine, I am encouraged by the new recovery and relief legislation passed by Congress on Dec. 21. We are thankful for Sen. Susan Collins’ support as she fought to ensure seafood companies have access to much-needed federal funds. For the last decade, my company has brought iconic Maine lobster to […]

Letter to the Editor: Gov. Mills and Dr. Shah are willing to deliver hard truths
Recently, I found myself listening to an update on Maine Public radio with Gov. Janet Mills and Dr. Nirav Shah, director of the Maine Center for Disease Control.

Letter to the editor: PPE free-for-all reflects failure to protect Americans
After reading last Sunday’s Associated Press story (“Analysis: States spent over $7 billion competing for early virus supplies,” Dec. 20), this writer had to take a deep breath and let the anger recede.

Letter to the editor: Recent Vegan Kitchen column overlooks global food crisis
I challenge Portland Press Herald readers not to judge the rise of the plant-protein sector by the supposed fall of the animal-protein sector. I found Avery Yale Kamila’s Dec. 20 Vegan Kitchen column “Is meat-eating around the world trending down?” to be presumptuous. The world’s problems (disease, climate change, etc.) cannot simply be solved by […]

Letter to the editor: Coverage of ‘Triple Crown’ attempt displays hikers’ privilege
I have a question in response to Staff Writer Deirdre Fleming’s article on last Sunday’s Outdoors page headlined “Yarmouth man to attempt Triple Crown of hiking – all in one year” (Dec. 20). Why is this newsworthy? To me, this article reads as a full-on demonstration of privilege. Two guys on break from elite college […]

Letter to the editor: Saddleback is back – after a lot of hard work
We just finished our first week of skiing at the now reopened and revitalized Saddleback ski resort. The new owners and team at Saddleback have done an amazing job, especially given the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the last five years of closure I have interacted with hundreds of individuals who, in some […]

Letter to the editor: Listen to science and put a price on carbon
Greg Kesich (Dec. 20) is quite right to point out how important it is that our public and our elected officials pay attention to science (“The View From Here: Vaccination needs to win over skeptics”) as we face the COVID pandemic. We absolutely need to roll up our sleeves and do this. It’s also worth […]
