My grandparents are anti-vegan too. They bring up a vegan couple who happened to be unhealthy and talk about inadequate nutrition. And my grandma's sister's doctor told her to start eating dairy so it must be the right thing. My mom is starting to ask more questions though so that's exciting!

Congratulations on being vegan, and, in @Riuma's case, parents, going vegan. You could deprogram your grandparents by showing them Forks Over Knives, Cowspiracy, or Earthlings.

 

lol yeah OP can dine-out (no pun intended) on that anecdote for years.

It's so quaint and rustic-sounding.

I suppose when we vegans become majority (don't hold ya breath!), itd be like some mental regressive throwback saying he/she wants to be a carnivore. Then his vegan grandparents explain that the vegan establishment want SOME people to eat meat, as THOSE meat eaters are visibly crazy. So, if you don't want to support veganism, stay vegan! But if you believe in veganism, eat meat (and act crazy while doing it).

The more I turn it over in my mind the more I think grandparents might be onto something:laugh:

It's like those 9/11 conspiracy theories - a false flag attack. Attack your own side to make your enemy look bad
