Thanks for the video. I've been vegan over a year and still get so angry ...

Wait.... she looks like Adriana Lima..? But better because she is vegan!!

Great video! I was opposite when I went vegan, I completely kept it a secret and shut down, it's been 4 years and I feel like my family still holds tremendous resentment towards me just because of my vegan behavior and the fact that we've had no communication. They've built a story in their heads about me and I them... it's all my fault too, I need to have an intervention or something with my family, they don't ask me questions ever, they don't want to know anything... they just give me the hate vibes and are waiting for me to get out of this "phase" meanwhile I've mistakenly pretended everything's fine.... (sigh) it's been the most challenging thing I've dealt with as a vegan but I need to use it as an opportunity to learn how to better express myself, because my shutting down just hasn't done us any good, at least that's what I've experienced :) I'm thinking about making videos about this because it's quite complex and challenging for me :( and maybe others too :/

Invite them over for a plant-based meal, make it uplifting and always voice your passion as respect for animal lives. Your family has the same morals, they think animal cruelty is wrong. Once they realize it's completely unnecessary (and healthier) they can start aligning their actions with their morals. Take the Liberation Pledge, they have great resources for communicating when it comes to family and food. And know the 20 truths to objections to veganism at www.GoBigGoVegan.com/reasons.

so honest and so much where i can find myself in. thank you !

[@xasia_]

I think we should talk about it more than ever, but yeah its important not to get heated. Even if they do

[@allandm]

Thank you. I became vegan about a month ago and I feel so disappointed in my friends and family who don't want to look into veganism. I guess that's not the best way to go

[@wendybell9007]

What a beautiful person you explained this so well I’ shall work on not being so opinionated and use your gentler approach in future

[@dahliathereader2872]

The true way to lead is by example (actions) and not by words. 👍🏻😊

[@reece6121]

Your eye lashes are sooooo beautiful

[@lwgg742]

This is the same with makeup and knowing where it comes from or using plastic and knowing where it comes from (and more importantly, where it goes to).

[@solenaleonard]

While you were being agressive I was being aggressed by family and friends 😂

[@ebh9163]

But what about they are your sisters?.. And they will answer " the bird was dead already when I bought it".... I get so mad... I've been a vegan for 15 years and I still feel so sad that they are so numb and do not feel compassion

[@alchemists4443]

Oof I've been vegan for a year now and recently I've been wanting to change my family's views. I do it in a nice way but my sister snaps and says it's annoying and my mom just kinda goes silent,, idk

[@ebh9163]

omg... Same here.. I get so mad.. I can't be accepting of numbness to animal suffering

[@oujeeaah]

My sister became vegan about 5 years ago and she and her partner became very agressive about it. They were posting videos of meat industry and my sister was always suggesting me what to eat instead of animal products. It actually ruined our relationship at the time. I was also obsessed with fitness world, so being vegan at the time didn't even cross my mind. But half a year ago she moved to Thailand and because of my acne problems I said I would cut out dairy from my diet. So I did, but when I went out with my boyfriend eating in a restaurant there was always something with dairy in every dish. Because of that I said to myself: how would I convince myself to never ever eat dairy products again. I googled dairy industry and I was so sad that I didn't become vegan sooner. And now that I am vegan it is hard for me because my boyfriend doesn't get it. I mean he gets my point of view, but I would really love it if we would both believe in the same thing. I am telling you this because sometimes people need to search about this things by themselves and being too pushy can do more damage then good. I wish luck to you!

[@aholegardener6191]

They might be aware, but they are not awake! What woke me up, was the thought of killing the animal myself. Some people hunt and still are not awake. I am probably not going to discuss being vegan at all with family, friends, my personal page on Facebook.. I’m not in the mood to get laughed at.. Cause I’ve seen that happen to others

[@Bluegrassman12]

You need to become an activist if you are not
