The worst way to promote the vegetarian or vegan lifestyle is to make people feel as though meat is being taken away from them. Instead, use a down to earth approach with friends, family and others. Showing that you are kind, considerate and compassionate will help others see why you have chosen this lifestyle. The biggest accomplishment is knowing that you are decreasing the demand for meat, which will result in less animals going to factory farms.

How to Promote Vegetarianism and Veganism

Step1
Be informed and know the facts. Read books like John Robbins’ “Diet for a New America,” Thich Niat Hanh’s “Being Peace” and Rory Friedman’s and Kim Barnouin’s “Skinny Bitch.” No one will take you seriously if you cannot explain in detail why being vegetarian or vegan is better.
Step2
Work the topic into every day conversations. Don’t force the issue with people; otherwise, you risk offending them or making them uncomfortable. Keeping updated on news events can give you ideas on how to talk to others about certain animal rights issues.
Step3
Connect to your audience by explaining the health benefits to becoming vegetarian or vegan. Explain why they should care in terms that mean something significant to them. For example, women may be interested in knowing how the vegetarian and vegan diet can help them lose weight.
Step4
Create your own pamphlet to pass out to people. Also research organizations online to see if they have free pamphlets for you to use.
Step5
Try to answer questions as honestly as possible. If you don’t know the answer, get the individual’s contact information and tell them you will find out and let them know.
Step6
Start an online blog. Tell people what you are doing to help animals and how you have dealt with being a vegetarian or vegan. Maybe you will encourage others to follow in your footsteps.

Tips & Warnings

  • Don’t give up the cause or let others discourage you.
  • An advocate who is professional and ethical will be respected.
