CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, July 31, 2003: Changing her name legally from Karin Robertson to GoVeg.com has had just the effect the 23-year-old, employed by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has wanted. Whenever she presents her driver’s license at an airport, bank or anyplace else, a conversation is initiated about the benefits of vegetarian food or the treatment of animals on farms and in processing plants. GoVeg.com’s mom and dad are supportive of her decision to change her name and her mother says, “I think she has a good reason for doing what she’s doing.” Her father regularly eats vegetarian food since having triple bypass surgery two years ago. GoVeg.com appreciates the full use of her name, without shortening it to “GoVeg” or “Dot.”
