Answers:
Make it common sense!. I'm a vegetarian for more reasons than the lives of animals!. I simply believe that humans weren't meant to eat meat!.

Ask them this: "Have you ever thought it was strange that humans are the only animal that have to cook their meat in order to consume it!?"

Tell them: "The intestines of carnivorous animals are one body length, while herbivores are about six times the animal body length!. Humans intestines are about 40 feet!."

Meat is the highest source of cholesterol, bad fats, etc!. It only have one thing that you can't find anywhere else, "Heme Iron"!. But heme iron is not necessary because it's only a better absorbed Iron!. You still get Iron from spinach and so many other veges!.

80 percent of our agriculture in America goes to feeding livestock!. Imagine the fresh water supply strain!.

You get more protein in beans (ratio) than you do meat and the concept of needing to eat meat in order to grow muscle is stupid!. A horse grows strong as hell just off of a vegan diet and i know many strong Vegetarians!.

And on And on!.!.!.

Meat is not only useless to the body but it will destroy it!. Look at heart disease up there as a top killer, hello! The way meat is produced is clearly a strain on human resources as well as the environment!.

Learn this and more like this, because there is so much out there!. Then learn the truth about a balanced diet!.

Then show them a video or a documentary on meat or pro vegan!. There are really good ones out there!.

High chances are they will continue to eat meat but they will think about it more than now, they will bend more in your direction of thinking than before because you have the facts and the logic, they have not!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

You probably can't convince them to - you don't say what your position in the family is, (mother/child/father/age) but if you have any responsilbility for buying food you can shop for free range eggs yourself or at least eat them yourself!. If you want to be vegetarian that's fine but not easy to convince other people!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

My eggs come in a carton or on a flat,
You wouldn't want anyone to force you to eat meat would you!?
Pressuring them will just piss them off at you!.
You should make them a nice dinner, Then after they have finished eating and compliment your WONDERFUL meal,
You can tell them that not all vegan dishes are bland flavorless slop, As that may be what they believe!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The only thing you can do is lead by example and hope it catches on!. Just because it's what they buy doesn't mean it's what you have to eat!. If you can't make due with the veg food in the house offer to do the shopping and cooking or do your own shopping and cooking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think you need to practice what you preach!. If you want the freedom to do what you feel is right you should give others the same choices!.
If your family is not on the same page as you that is there choice, and you need to respect that!.

you can't convince people to do stuff!.!.!.
live your life the way you want to and show other people your way!. don't complain about things!. don't be annoying!. just live your life your way!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Show them some footage of where their food comes from, google 'meet your meat', rent 'fast food nation'!.
I'm sure that if everyone knew where their food came from there would be far more vegans!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

show them a video of the killing of animals and eating and all that, convinced my friend toWww@FoodAQ@Com

hey its no use trying to change others!. if you are so concerned then you change!.!.!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can't!.!.!.
I don't believe in vegetarianism!.
There are other things in the world to worry about other than animals being killed!.
There are people being killed in a war and you're worried about animals!?
Oookay!.
I used to be veg, too, though!.
I think it's just a trend!.
And most animals aren't even abused like Peta says!.
Pete abuses the animals themselves to make people THINK that's what is really happening!.
