How do i let my mom know im turning vegan?

Question

i mean she accepted vegitarian but vegan ................ well how do i tell her

Answer 1

you tell her straight up

IM going vegan deal with it

Answer 2

Why do you have to tell her? Just do it.  You don't need her permission.  It is your body not hers.  Just do it healthy so that she doesn't have to worry.

Answer 3

Tell her straight up that this is the decision you'd like to make. Might be as well to back it up with knowledge about vegan nutrition as well: veganhealth.org is a very good resource written by a vegan nutritionist, that covers all aspects of vegan nutrition. Researching it properly, and being respectful and kind toward your mom's reaction, will go a long way in convincing her that you're serious about this. Offering to cook with meals and shop will also usually go down well too. Good luck.

Oh, and Scott L that's a nasty and misinformed thing to say. Please contribute something reasoned and helpful, not something abusive like this.

Answer 4

Tell her you're g*y first, then while she's still in shock say "Just kidding! but I am vegan!" If she isn't in shock then being a vegan should be no big deal.

Answer 5

You can sit her down and explain why you want to go vegan. Tell her all the benefits.Showing her leaflets and dvds can help too.She can't force you you to eat anything you don't want to. since it's your body.

Good luck.

Answer 6

Just tell her.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Just tell her, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being vegan. It might make her happy (alot of people I know hate cooking anything meat or produce).

Answer 9

Even if you don't tell her, she'll notice it when you start looking pale and begin to miss periods.
