Hey, thanks for the follow back! I've been trying to become a vegan for about 2 years now, however my mum won't allow me. Any ideas on how I can convince her? Thanks (:

There are loads of ways really, I suppose your best bet would be to find some reliable information, one your mum would have trouble disputing. It’s also about winning her around to your way of thinking. You can tell her your personal ethical feelings then follow it up with assurance that you’ll be just as healthy, if not even more so! Forks Over Knives is a good film, I’d also recommend just doing some simple google search for ‘benefits of veganism’. I’m sure if you arm yourself with enough information your mum would be more open to it, and maybe even too overwhelmed to say no! I hope this helps, if there’s any other advice you’d like, or need more references for info then just ask :)

where did you get the 'go vegan stay vegan' shirt? i love it

It’s great isn’t it, it’s from a US website, shipping puts the cost up but otherwise it’s worth it http://merchnow.com/catalogs/straight-edge-and-vegan-clothing—motiveco?page=3

So i'm from Lincoln and to be perfectly honest i hate it so much. What do you do when you're in Lincoln?

I’m sorry to hear that you hate it, maybe you’re just not looking in the right places? Reinvent your relationship with it. I do many things, I go on walks in the surrounding country, I find it’s easily accessible and there are many places I like to sit and read in, or meditate. I’m a student too so I’ll no doubt be doing the same this summer, I have a lot of time to kill while I’m waiting for a special someone to come back from America to me. Socially I’ll visit friends, I don’t drink these days because I’d like to make the most of my life and keep my health. There’s no need to be anonymous with your question, I’m happy to answer any questions. Have you lived in Lincoln your whole life? What do you do around the city?
