Sounds like you've brainwashed him.


Or the problem is in the genes and it’s a her.


You got that right at least. ;-)

And it appears she has brainwashed/convinced him to be a vegan.


Please don't lower yourself to the level of *those* two trolls.

Why couldn't it be perfectly reasonable that someone could just need
the 'leg up' to a change in lifestyle that means their actions match
their morals (something we had been doing slowly in any case, us not
drinking cows milk for some 5 years previous, not eating much meat and
preferring the likes of Quorn mince to the stuff full of blended
eyeballs and aresoles)?

The actual fact is that our daughter just gave us the opportunity to
see the truth better for ourselves and *WE* decided to carry on with
it from then on. And it was far from a hard sell, it was that she
announced that she was going to *try* going vegan (from a vegi for a
few years, thinking that was enough before realising the egg and dairy
industry were as bad or worse) for one month (veganuary) and we
*offered* to join her.

It's no different to someone here putting someone else onto the
benefits of a better diet or off some harmful prescription drug mix
when it's better for them and others.

That fact that anyone can't accept that as the truth says more about
them than they realise.
