How To Become Vegan

you need to get roped into such debates for the rest of your life just because
you’re vegan.
At this stage of my vegan path, it really doesn’t interest me to get into
debates with animal eaters about my lifestyle. I’ve had nearly 20 years to
hear all their arguments, do my own research, think each point through
carefully, and learn the truth to my satisfaction. While I’m happy to help out
people who are genuinely interested in this path by sharing tips, advice, and
resources, why would I want to waste time debating with someone who just
wants to argue with me so as to justify their own lifestyle habits? In my
experience, that kind of debate isn’t very convincing to anyone. As the
saying goes, a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.
So as a general rule, I don’t grant permission for pro-cruelty people to
debate with me about my vegan lifestyle. Such debates were interesting and
appealing to me during the 1990s, but they have no value to me anymore.
That said, it’s pretty common for some animal eaters to assume that just
because you’re vegan, they’re entitled to debate you about your lifestyle
choices. Because of this, many vegans, especially new vegans, get roped
into many such debates. This can be extremely time consuming though,
especially if you really get into the debate and find yourself looking up
references to back up your points.
