How do I convince my family that me being Vegan is the right thing to do?!
Answers:
Write down their concerns, research them, explain why they needn't be concerned.
I made a powerpoint presentation showcasing why factory farming is bad for the environment, for the workers and for consumers. You can view it in the browser or download it if you prefer: http://dailyveganeats.tumblr.com/post/29…
Oh, and all the sources (all 48 of them) are from reputable sources, like medical journals, research abstracts, the United Nations, Harvard...not animal rights websites.
Ask yourself: Why is being vegan the right thing to do?
When you have thoroughly researched/answered that and convinced yourself, then you can pass that info on to your family. If they are reasonable they will accept that; If they are not reasonable there is nothing you can do.
Good Luck <3
As soon as you are ready to listen to them also that it is not the right thing to do.
Some people are so selfish and self absorbed that they forget communication is a two way street.
Besides if you need help and have to ask complete strangers on the Internet on how to justify your own PERSONAL choices, how can you expect your family to think you even know have a clue as to what you are saying?
Keep a food journal, writing down everything you eat and have a nutritionist check it over to make sure you are getting the daily allowances of the nutrition you need.
common sense
