Vegans Must be Stopped!

[zenmaster]

Being straightforward works.

Not from my experience. Talking about food and health, in my experience, is wrought with tensions and defenses. I hardly ever do it unless I'm really pressed. Here, it is a forum, so it would seem safe to be straightforward; but as I said, I've had to tread very carefully in order to get any info or opinions across without stirring up defenses. Then it ceases to be a straightforward exchange; it becomes a struggle of sorts.

My advice is to "be the bigger person" and remain straightforward and factual without the silly cherry picking. Appealing to reason works too.
