#  World Vegetarian Congress - Edinburgh, Scotland, Summer 2002 - speaker question form

**International Vegetarian Union (IVU)** | ![IVU logo](https://ivu.org/images/legacy/history/members/pics/ivu-con1.gif) | 35th World Vegetarian Congress    **'Food for all our futures'**   ---   Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland    July 8-14, 2002 | Hosted by    [![](https://ivu.org/images/legacy/history/congress/2002/bluelogo.gif)    **The Vegetarian Society    of the United Kingdom**](http://www.vegsoc.org/) Historical form (inactive) For the first time in a World Vegetarian Congress you can ask questions of any of the speakers even if you are unable to attend in person. Simply fill in the form below.    \[note added later: this form was disabled after the Congress, it's just here for historical interest - it won't work now....\]  **Please note: we will not send personal replies** - all replies to questions via this form will be posted on the page for the speaker concerned. See the **[Congress Programme page](https://ivu.org/hv-congress-2002-congress-2002-program-index.html)** for the links to all the speakers.  If a reply can be obtained before the Congress it will appear as soon as possible, but some speakers may not be contactable until the congress week. We can't guarantee that all speakers will have time to answer every question, but we'll do our best.   The name of the speaker you wish to question:   Your question:   Your name:   your approximate location ( city, state, province, country etc):  A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly.  Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value.  - Hits: 1338    ###  Vegan Recipes   - [![Gluten Free Naked Quiche](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/naked_quiche_quadrado_586142154c652235606716937d63bc70.jpg "Gluten Free Naked Quiche")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/gluten-free-naked-quiche.html "Gluten Free Naked Quiche")           ####  [Gluten Free Naked Quiche](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/gluten-free-naked-quiche.html "Gluten Free Naked Quiche")            [Whole Food Plant Based](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/whole-plant-based.html) -
