I was inspired to become a vegan after I learned about the unefficiency and overall wastefullness regarding the livestock and dairy industries. With some further research, I discovered the vegan lifestyle. A diet of eating solely plants seemed originally impractical, but once I discovered the sustainability of it, I was thrilled! I have been a dedicated vegan for about 4 weeks now (celebrating my 5 month veg-iversary this coming Monday!) and the largest hurdle I have had to overcome is my family's views of my diet. I live at home with my parents primarily making my meals, so I've been eating meal prep and cooking my own dinners after my sports practices (ends around 5:30). This isn't the most practical thing, making my vegan lifetyle a difficult one to achieve.
I have a few questions regarding vegan lifestyle and its practicality.
- What facts can I give to my family and friends to get support?
- Any ideas for meal prep/meals? (particulary low-time, low budget store-bought/prepared?)
Thank you so much! - the.spicy.pepper03
