[QUOTE="Grant, post: 2455172, member: 216422"] My mom thinks as a vegan my skin will turn pale from lack of dairy products and my body will gasp for protein and other nutrients. She also said that I will lose most of my friends. After telling her that veganism is a very healthy diet if it is properly planned she told me that I don't do enough research (and I even told her I read about 1/3 of Skinny B!tch) and she still thinks my claims are uneducated. What can I tell her to convince her that becoming a vegan is not a health issue nor a social issue? I think she is being completely irrational. I only read 1/3 of it because I looked it up on Google books and it only has about 1/3 of the material due to copyright laws. @Alice, I have done lots of other additional forms of reasearch. The Skinny B!tch reference was just an example of what kind of information I have researched. I have been to many health websites provided by the studies of universities and they all claim veganism as a healthy diet. @est!est!est!, see above paragraph. I forgot to mention just as a general fact, I am a vegetarian of 10 months. [/QUOTE]
