tell her to read the food revolution by john robbins. she won’t think you’re stupid anymore. stick to your beliefs. it’s a healthier lifestyle that a lot of people (especially adults) are unwilling to accept because they don’t want to accept the truth.
Marketing Strategies
Stick to your principles. Explain to her WHY you feel the way you do. Encourage her to buy healthy options. Show her how well you can eat when you go out.
But… don’t try and convert her!

It might or might not be hard. You should respect your parents ideals if you want them to support yours. After all they are paying the bills not you.

My parents thought it was stupid at first. Now they support it and are nearly vegetarian themselves.
Stick with it, she’ll at least accept it eventually, people can surprise you!
Another very effective thing, try showing her Earthlings.

i had the same problem when i first chose to be vegetarian. my entire family was against it. but i stuck to what i believed was right. and now even though my family still doesn’t agree with me being vegetarian they don’t bother me about it. i fix my own meals seperate from them. you have to understand that it’s something new to your mom and she doesn’t necessarily know how to react. all you can really do is stick to what you believe. it gets a lot easier. the only times i have a hard time is with holidays when i have to find alternatives to things. good luck!!

There are so many other traits to a person other that their dietary choices, so you shouldn’t be judged based on this one little thing! Just stick to your beliefs!
