Tips for Talking to Family and Friends
So you’re cutting out or cutting back on meat, but your family and friends aren’t. How are they going to respond? Don’t worry, we’ve been there too! Here are some tips on how to keep things cool and make it easy on everyone—including yourself.
Make It Easy
Make your new diet as easy as possible on the chef of the house. Offer to help cook, and chow down on side dishes the whole family is having. You can also keep satisfying snacks around the house for when you need something quick, like microwave burritos, granola bars, canned soups, and nuts.
Listen to Them
If they’re worried about your health or the cost of food, let them know you understand their concern. Share what you’ve learned about eating on a budget and getting proper nutrition.
Be a Role Model
If you want to help your family and friends see things the way you do, stay kind. Even if they don’t get it at first, be patient. In time they may realize how great plant-based eating can be.
Practice Patience
Nobody wants to feel judged. If someone wants to learn more, they’ll ask. Over time a low-key approach will make them more open to changing how they eat too.
