As far as becoming vegetarian it’s just going to become a matter of time and discipline for you and your family & friends to achieve it. I encourage you to continue on this journey and educate your family & friends as you go. You could provide them with details about why you are doing it, the health benefits associated with it, and how they should maybe branch out and try some of the improved meat alternative products that are out today. Bring vegetarian dishes with you to gatherings. This will provide you with food to eat as well as give them something new to try. Remember to stay consistent. By staying consistent your family and friends will see how serious and important this is to you. My family still jokes around with me over my healthier food choices (being from the south, they like their food!), but at the same time they will call me and tell me about a healthy café they ate at and how much I would have enjoyed it. They’ll come around, but remember to stay focused on you because you are doing it for yourself…you don’t need their approval! Thanks Daniel.

Secondly, I'm trying to convert to vegetarianism, but find it hard because none of my friends or family feels the same way I do, and at gatherings, no vegetarian option is available. How do I let them know my plan without alienating them (they associate vegetarianism with being a hippie). DM First of all Kinsey, I’d like to say that you are ridiculously pretty.
