Why I am a Vegan

[Jade]

My mom is moving into a new place in her life and we had a conversation yesterday that I thought we would never have - how to become a vegan. I was teaching her new cooking techniques and she wants to go with me to the grocery store soon so I can teach her more about what -not- to eat. Very exciting!! We went to eat at the local vegan cafe and she picked up every piece of literature they had and was very excited to go home and talk to her boyfriend about it, who apparently has been nagging her forever to prepare healthier food for them. She says she's tired of being fat and tired from everything she eats and I can tell she means it. She also said how the last few times she's made pot roast, it was just so unappetizing to her that she couldn't even eat it.

I told her it could be a process, and she asked, "Does it have to be??"
