This Is Definitely The Hardest Part About Being Vegan

Posted on September 16, 2016 By 73 Comments on This Is Definitely The Hardest Part About Being Vegan

Sometimes we come across a video talking about being vegan that is not only touching but tells the plain truth. That’s exactly the case with this video. The real challenge about going vegan is definitely not the radical switch to a new diet. Of course, it takes some time to get accustomed to this meatless and dairy-free diet. However, the real challenge is when you face the people you probably love the most trying to explain them why you took the vegan route. Instead of expressing understanding and respect to your choice they criticize you harshly and leave you isolated. Watch the following video and you might recognize issues that you have also faced once at some point of your vegan life or probably are facing right now!

    The hardest part about being vegan for me is absolutely the understanding and knowledge. It tortures me to understand what our species does to other species. It tortures me to know that so many others would rather ignore the unimaginable cruelty living beings face every day in the name of bacon, burgers, chicken nuggets… They don’t want to know because they don’t want to change. It’s sad.

    The hardest part for md is having family agree with vegan being healthier and better all around but then talking to me about what animal the just cooked at there last meal and going on and on while i roll my eyes or asking me to go grocey shopping with them and then ask ms if a dead animals parts look like a good buy!! Like seriously!!! I cant believe my own family can be so two sided to my face. Its irritating!

I have learned that what others say does not matter to me anymore. What matters is that I have learned the truth! Hoping that seeing my healthy results they too will change. In the meantime I continue to Thrive!! #GoVegan

    Hardest for me is the constant looks and attitudes that I’m so “strange”, “you’re a vegan”, like people want to say, “you’re an alien”..and the feeling of having to defend myself..but at least we have groups like this to vent our frustrations! Thanks everyone!

    I didn’t choose the vegan way of eating because of the animals, i did it because of the nutritional value of eating plants, and not consuming animal fats, the nutrtional part is the most compelling because just about all our sickness’s cand be healed if we feed the body. “Let food be thy medicine”

    I was 9 old when I watched a farming programme at school I was so shocked as I didn’t know what meat was. I felt disgusted that id had dead animals .The thought of flesh in my body made me sick. I told my mum I didnt want to eat animal’s anymore It was very hard as there wasn’t quorn,tofu or alternatives. The head at primary school refused to omit meat from my plate so I took sandwiches.life was tough but even then I was an avid animal rights fighter. I was bullied and teased a’ll through primary and secondary. In my first kind etc.but it was all worth it.my daughter is vegan she’s a fitness instructor my son’s vegetarian he’s 6 foot 5 and a Doctor We’re living proof 🙂 x

    They will, I don’t bring up my dietary preferences but those who know me eventually get curious. I also read something that said even though you think they are not paying attention, it is affecting their subconscious so I reshare easy vegan meals and tips. It helps to present alternatives so they can implement changes right away.

    The hardest part, is eating out and asking the cook / waitress/ cashier if their “food” contains animal products and them having no idea.
