vegan, 34 years!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Marion has a point!. She is a full-fledged adult who may be set in her ways!. You can offer her some reading materials on the definition, purpose, and benefits of veganism!. Perhaps offer to cook her a tasty vegan meal one day- or take her to lunch at a vegan restaurant!. Maybe that'll make her more comfortable with your chosen lifestyle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Whenever my mom makes dinner she complains about making a different dish for me!. (I am also vegan!.) She says I "enjoy making things difficult for her!." She got used to it over time!. You just need to stand your ground no matter what she says!. My sister throws the most insane arguments at me like, "What would you do with a pig other than eat it!?" (She doesn't know that pigs make cool, smart pets, obviously!.) I just say what I believe and ignore whatever comes out of her mouth!. You can't change what a person thinks when they WANT to be right!. I have shown my family all of the PETA videos, etc!. and they will stand up from the computer chair and say, "Oh well, that's sad, but what else would we use them for!?"
I come from a Mexican family that basically doesn't see the cow just the carne asada!.

You explain that you are getting a job!. Then you buy and cook your own meals with your money and clean up the mess after you have eaten!. Then maybe your family will support you!. Until then you eat what is put before you by the people that are providing for you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
For one thing stop referring to her lifestyle as "close minded ambiance"!. Show some respect and she might return the compliment!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You might not be able to!. Just have to keep telling her you respect her lifestyle and you would appreciate her respecting yoursWww@FoodAQ@Com
as long as you don't live with her who flipping cares about what she thinks!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
