Were they big time meat-eaters who would get defensive if you brought up veganism before? How did you convince your family to go vegan?

Hello 👋, I’m mostly vegan. I went vegetarian at age 13, and “vegan” at 20. I am now 24. My family eat meat every day, often twice a day. They would claim to like/love animals (we have three cats, my mum and sister are cat people and often talk about/comment on animals, and my dad is a...

Hello 👋, As you may know from my other posts and profile, I’m an animal rights person. I’m semi-vegan. Anyhow, I’m against captivity for wild animals, including dolphins and whales, the exception being sanctuaries and rescues. However, my family would like to go to Florida next year. We’ve been...

I feel very strongly that humans have no right to kill animals - we wouldn't want it done to...

My mother suggested I see a doctor to aid me with progressing with a healthy vegan diet which I said was fine by me. My mother has never approached me before with much concern over it which I was always thankful for. Anyway, this doctor told me that because I'm 5ft 6 and 7 stone 4 I am...
