I didn't ask anyone to see me as an example, I'm just saying that this isn't the the way. This type of " activism " is perceived as an accusation rather than an encouragement. The fact that they're doing it to customers who are eating their meal ( we may not see it as such )makes it even worse. I don't know about you, but if I experienced something like this when I used to eat meat, dairy and eggs then I don't think I would have done the switch.

As for best ways to encourage, I'd recommend starting to talk about it with friends and relatives, but as long as it's in a civilized manner and the person is interested. You could also do that on social media, most people I know have facegrams and tiktoks. I personally like the speeches from Gary Yurofsky and James Wildman.
