    How do you respond to:"I know,but I just don't care though"

    Thank you, i appreciate you saying that. And yeah, i really do feel lucky with all the exposure we have nowadays. I get that it's a journey for many people, and i know the key thing is to stay calm because you cannot switch someone overnight but it just stays frustrating. For me, (guilt being...

    How do you respond to:"I know,but I just don't care though"

    To approach it from another angle would be disingenuous, for me at least. And i don't think I have enough knowledge on veganism for either the climate or health to do so. But I agree, she probably just doesn't want to change, she mentioned that she eats what her family eats so maybe the family...

    How do you respond to:"I know,but I just don't care though"

    Yeah you're right. I did try asking her how she would feel if it were her cats and the response was the same: "I don't like dogs, I don't care" it's denial but completely shuts you off so I didn't know where to go from there which is why I got a bit frustrated I suppose. I'll probably just keep...

    How do you respond to:"I know,but I just don't care though"

    I see what you're saying, I'm not baffled but I've just never come across this kind of person in this particular context in my relatively short time as a vegan. Putting my energy into the people who want to listen is great and I do often do so, but the ignorant ones are who I want to get through...

    How do you respond to:"I know,but I just don't care though"

    I was talking to a classmate about veganism and how the industry works, how animals are tortured and suffocated and stabbed and she claimed to already know what happens so obviously i ask her whats stopping her from going vegan and she says she 'just doesn't care'?? then she goes: "farm animals...

    Going vegan I think

    This is so nice to read, thank you. I don't know why but it was so reassuring to read that I'm not actually the only one who has had to experience this, even though technically i knew I couldn't have been the only one. It's also interesting that you mention eating disorders because I seriously...

    Going vegan I think

    My parents have literally tried to force food down my throat, if not that they've threatened me with a lot of different things, and fighting with them generally just makes me miserable, I'd rather not make them upset and weaken an already fragile relationship. I just find it ridiculous that we...

    Going vegan I think

    I haven't looked into it myself but I wouldn't dare challenge what they say. Anything that suggests I don't hold the same religious beliefs as them is risky. Although I have managed to tie religion into ethics, enough to the point where my mum will only buy free range meat, I've tried to tell...

    Going vegan I think

    Hi, I don't have my own money for groceries no, but so long as my parents are under the impression I'm still eating meat and cheese and what not, asking them to buy certain stuff probably won't be an issue. I've tried showing them similar stuff about the benefits on going vegan, my mum is a...

    Going vegan I think

    Hi, I've been vegetarian ish for 4 years, the two more recent years, very on and off. I'm 17, so still live at home and my mum n dad are completely against me being a vegetarian, (veganism is literally out of the question) I eat meat but It's completely not my choice, I've tried to reason with...
