I live in rural Iowa, and I dont know any veg*ns IRL, however, when I see soymilk at the local (teeny) grocery store, when I overhear 80 year old Phyllis talking about her doctor recommending a "plant based diet" now, and see veg*n options at the local diners/restaurants, I know I am not alone.
This year the state queen in my weight loss/weight maintenance support group (Im a maintainer) lost her weight on a lowfat vegan plan. Over 100lbs!
I am a quiet person, so I dont think I will ever be an IN YOUR FACE ACTIVIST, but in my own quiet way, I am helping.
My friends and family have all started eating veggie/vegan dishes, and my father in law and I do a weekly vegan soup exchange! (which is not as weird as it sounds, I swear!)
People see me being healthy and slim, and happy, and I think they want a little of that for themselves.
