I often take a live and let live attitude, and wait until I'm asked about the potentially touchy issues surrounding my food and lifestyle choices. I think I've influenced a number of people to eat better just by quiet example. Sometimes it's really hard to watch friends and loved ones ignoring what seems to me to be common knowledge about health (and animal suffering), but it's so complicated. It makes me think about the religious people who come to my door and try to convert me to their beliefs with books and pamphlets — they believe so strongly that they are right. <br /><br />I'm grateful there are outspoken vegan activists who are more willing be speak out than I am.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772921693381823067.post-48553893235422101742011-02-10T06:24:33.518-08:002011-02-10T06:24:33.518-08:00That's a good point.

Ethics can bring out hostility, so I don't tend to bring it up unless an opportunity presents itself. I'm finding the less forceful I am, the more receptive people seem to be. <br /><br />I don't like being too preachy unless it's about how the fast food industry and the convenience wave after WWII really screwed over our health - Then I really can't help myself ;)Camihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785540862776031252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772921693381823067.post-24092405663714643212011-02-09T22:53:12.407-08:002011-02-09T22:53:12.407-08:00I find it hard to not tell the information I know ...I find it hard to not tell the information I know to my loved ones. It's because I know way too much info about health and I worry about them. I do know lots of people who are vegan and have a nonvegan partner and they make it work. <br /><br />I have to take long breaks from the videos and books too, but I do have to check in from time to time to remind myself why I do what I do.bitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897733975604744859noreply@blogger.com
