How do I become a vegan?!
How do I become a vegan?
You know how a lot of parents dissaprove of their children become a vegetarian. Well, may be I want to become a vegan so instead of being proud of that, my parents dissaprove? Why does that happen?
Answers:
To become a vegan, you have to stop eating all products that came from animals. This includes all milk, eggs, and other dairy and of course, no beef, pork, chicken, or fish. Personally, I think "it's okay to eat fish cause they don't have any feelings." --Curt Cobain.

because they think they r right, alot of adults do
mine did when I lived w/them
they'll most likely stop if you constantly talk about animal rights, slaughter houses, the enviorment, etc.
mine shut up cuz they wanted me to shut up XD
hope that helped
Because people fear what they do not understand. People accept the "norm" more readily because thats what most people do. Many people think "different" is a bad thing no matter what it is.
It happens because our parents grew up in a different time then we did. Today in society, vegans are considered to live a healthy lifestyle, and they are certainly not thought of as weird.(I am talking about generally, from a health point of view, I know people still think we are freaks, but it just shows how little they know)
Anyway, what I am saying is that when our parents grew up, being a vegan was unheard of, and we would have been automatically thought to be hippies and tree huggers.
So alot of people before our generation still think that. They think we will die from lack of protien, and that we will become skinny and sickly because we are not eating meat.
You'll just have to show them that being a vegan is healthy. Don't try to make your argument from a ethical point of view, honestly they probrably won't care, I am not saying that pictures of tourtured animals won't make them sad, but it won't make up their mind about how they feel about you becoming one.
All your parents wanna know is that you are healthy and safe, So do some research, and make a good argument from a health point of view, showing that it is healthy to become a vegan.
Not saying this will work... Didn't work with my mom, but my dad agreed with me. So I had one parent on my side.
Good Luck.
many of our parents were raised on the four food groups.Half of those food groups were animal products.There were originally 12 but the meat and dairy industry put pressure on them to lower the number of groups.
