so i've been a pescetarian for about 5 years and really want to go vegan. I'm very fully capable to become vegan it'a just my mum is very weird about that idea and won't allow me to to stop eating fish and other animal products. Do you know any ways i could help convince her ? I've tried but i'm very bad at explaining my beliefs because i get my words all mixed up. I'm sick of feeling so guilty all the time ! but yeah i hope you're having a great day xx
watch some documentaries with her and you can both learn together. Being educated and knowing the facts will really help you when you go vegan because you will constantly get strange questions from people. Dairy should be pretty straight forward because it’s literally the breast milk of another species of animal. It’s CLEARLY not necessary for human survival.There are also heaps of youtube vids that help people living at home with veganism. I have friends whose parents were unsupportive of veganism but since I was 19 when I went vegan I didn’t get much resistance from my parents. They kind of knew they couldn’t force me to do anything.. but then again they knew I was doing it for good reasons and I was really passionate about it. I think some parents think it’s an extreme diet to lose weight. Try and speak in a mature way. ‘This is something I have researched a lot and is a way of living and being a consumer that I would really like to adopt in my own life. I am willing to help out as much as needed in the kitchen/ at the supermarket to make cooking easier. I would really like your support on this as it is something that means a lot to me’Be open and willing to help. Realise they probably don’t know as much as you. Be patient. Also it’s really easy to resent your fam at the start for being ignorant to animal suffering but it gets easier to deal with. Just stay strong. Thank u for being a compassionate bae. I’m excited for you to be vegan !! it’s really damn gr8. Message whenever u need and I hope this helps and check out the youtube vids on this topic. The people who make them often went thru similar stuff xoxoxooxox
