My parents still do not accept my veganism as something that is less than insane. I have been vegan since 1998 and they still have no idea what I eat and what kind of products I use. They think it is awful and don't want to know.
So hopefully if you talk to her she will be understanding just be very nice.
ugh. weird, huh? my mom is 'prediabetic' even and she needs to lose weight or she will DEFINITELY get diabetes, i tried explaining to her time and time again that going vegan would definitely help her but she refuses to give up her diet that the average puma would envy and we, are the crazies.
everyone in my family is extremely unhealthy. And sounds like they eat like your mom. A meal often includes multiple very large carcasses and only two people live in their home. Over Easter I had nowhere to set my vegan feast because all the counter space was covered in dead animals. They were EVERYWHERE. Mean while they are all overweight and unhealthy.
But yeah, we're complete nutzos for not eating animals.
now I am pregnant and I got a huge lecture form my mother about how I have to feed my kid meat when s/he wants it. She said "when your four year old wants to try meat because everyone else is eating it you have to give it to them." And accused me of being closed minded.
my last ex and i talked about marriage and kids all the time.
he kept saying, "if you get cravings for meat, just do it. if you're craving it, it's unhealthy to not eat it. eat meat when you're pregnant and i promise, i won't for the whole time. it'll even out that way."
good luck with your pregnancy! if and when the time comes for me, i don't know how the hell i'll be able to do it.
It just makes me think if you are driving down a road and you get to urge to hit an animal you see ahead of you, just do it! I promise for every animal you hit I will dodge one animal and then it will all even out. hehe.
