Vegans Haters

how do i encourage others to give veganism/ vegetarianism a chance without seeming pushy?

I’m a vegan, and i would love for my dfriends and family just to give eating no meat a go, because i see positive differences in myself because of it, and i want to lessen the suffering of animals.

I like the suggestions of cooking a delicious veg*n meal for your family and friends: it is really the best way for them to experience the food, and to realise that many of the negative myths surrounding veg*n food are just that: myths. I have done this a few times, and have invariably got positive responses. It also debunks another myth: that vegans are invariably preachy.

When you do this, people will probably start to question you about your veganism. Here is the chance to talk about it, but don’t say more than you think they want to hear. Their curiosity will probably be aroused each time you answer; so they might give you the chance to elaborate.

It’s also good to personalise your response: you could say something like “this is MY way to look after my health, the environment, and the animals.” That way, you are honest, but you aren’t implying disapproval of their lifestyle.

I admire your approach; it’s just the sort of thing that the veg*n movement needs. We have to show the general public that we can be kind and considerate, and above all, that we’re happy and enjoying life!

All the best.

Since when am I a vegan hater?? im anti-peta, DUH
