[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s be clear here. The in laws are not coming from a place of love, they are coming from a place of indoctrination. Big difference.

Some religions really push evangelizing as a core principle. Churches in many of these religions are looking at their aging congregation and empty coffers with a heavier push to force the younger generation back in which isn’t being successful.

OP you can’t leave your children unsupervised with these people. [/quote]

Dramatic much? Hardly think exposure to some wacky grandparents is going to lure kids into doing what grandma wants. My MIL was widowed and part of reinventing herself was becoming a vegan. She really believes it’s a better way to live. She won’t shut up about it. We politely listen while eating our hamburgers. People like this end up turning people off to their cause. [/quote]

It’s funny that you’re comparing religious indoctrination to being vegan, which includes an objectively healthier diet and is better for the environment. If anything, your MIL is living two of the highest principles I was taught when forced to attend church: to treat my body like a temple and to be a good steward to the earth, which was created by god. (Side note: It’s perplexing that most of the evangelicals I know treat vegans with disdain.) That’s not even getting into the animal cruelty that comes with eating meat at the scale we do in the US, or the food waste that happens while so many are hungry. So yeah, let’s talk about how silly vegans are and act like religious proselytizing is nbd. [/quote]
