My mom's side of the family actually tries to tell me that I am not happy our having fun unless I eat junk food. I tell them that I am very happy being healthy and in shape and not a pig and they really do get a defensive look like I'm threatening them by not eating what they do. I've asked them to explain how what I eat has any effect on them and they have nothing. Just an emotional plea od my not being happy. It makes no sense and pisses me off. Be prepared for irrational arguments.
Thanks this is a great vid! I mostly try to get my parents to change but they don't. I've tried everything I can think of until I was ready to give up but I can't ever seem to do that (it's my parents) so I keep making comments when I go by their house (just not as many) when I get the chance and I tell them all about you dr.mcdougall. Thanks for all you do!
I try to spread the good news everyday. Every once in a while someone makes a change, though most seem to lack the will power. In 12 years of a eating plant based diet, I've only convinced about 4 or 5 people to follow the same path, though several others have dipped their feet in. Most people cave to social pressures way too easily it seems. Once these ideas become more and more popular, however, they will all come around. They won't want to be left behind; social pressures again.
I spread the message all the time.I'm also thinking about street activism.
