that is so awesome they are even asking you about being vegan, that means alot!<br><br>
in my experience, lead by example. i always think back to when i wasn't vegetarian/vegan. i put myself in that position again and i knew nothing and now i am so happy that i now know all that i do.<br><br><br><br>
i went vegetarian about 2-3 months after two vegans moved into my house. they never said anything to me about going veggie and NEVER EVER preached. i remember i only cooked meat once more after they moved in cause i felt too guilty, they never said anything but i just felt that way. i eventually started eating with them and then cooking with them and during this time two more vegans moved in. this was the best way for me.<br><br><br><br>
one of the best ways to get to someone is through their stomach (IMO). after tasting how good vegan food is, it was only a matter of time until i picked up some magazines (vegan voice and vegetarian & natural health mag) that i started to read more about vegetarianism. then that was it, no more meat then no more milk then no more eggs and the rest is history ....<br><br>
you know what one of them said a few months after me going veggie? "i knew you'd work it out for yourself"<br><br><br><br>
so, lead by example, cooking for them, showing them how easy it is to be vegan and having material around for them to read if they feel like looking into it more <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="

as we know, most people are afraid of change and kicking habits and routine so once they see that eating an animal free diet is possible AND easy AND delicious, it might just change their mind about eating animals and animal products.<br><br><br><br>
good luck !!!<br><br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":up:">
