I think you are right not to impose your food choices on your family. C is a grown man and can make his own choices, E is old enough to do the same and with M’s sensory issues you could have risked things going backwards for him. Also I believe that if you try to force certain foods onto people, or remove others, and they are not happy with this they are unlikely to support you fully in your goal and will probably go out of their way to get those forbidden foods elsewhere. My parents would not let me have sweets , so all I did was get friends to buy them for me behind my parents backs. #GoingGreen

I’m vegetarian since i’m a child but couldn’t do without cheese and chocolate. I’ve been involuntarily vegan while travelling but always felt that something was missing. Love it that you all tolerate and respect each other’s dietary choices, quite complex cooking I imagine.. #goinggreen

Mainly because I have such a complicated diet already due to health issue that cutting out even more food items could be a real issue for me. Saying that I have drastically cut down our meat consumption though and we’ve also started buying our meat from sustainable sources.
I do love the awareness it’s generating about environmental issue though. The more these things are in the mainstream media the better.
Good luck with your Veganuary 🙂
