" But I only eat organic, free range... Etc, etc... "

 

 

 

 

 

So often I run into vegetarians who, when they find out I¹m vegan, say

something like this:

 

³Well I eat eggs and dairy but I only eat organic, free range...etc,

etc...² or ³I get my goat cheese (or eggs or milk, etc) from a local farm²

or something like that.

 

Assuming others run into this same situation I¹d greatly appreciate hearing

feedback on what to say or do with the goal of promoting veganism in that

moment. Sometimes this happens with someone I¹m not going to see again and

other times it happens with people I have ongoing relationships with.

 

I also have this same dilemma with environmentalists except it goes

something like this:

 

³I only eat niman ranch meat² or ³I only eat free range chickens² or ³I eat

only organic, humanely raised beef², etc...

 

Any advice would be appreciated.
