I only became vegan once I moved to a city where that was more socially accepted. 8 years later, my family is still warming up to the idea. Having vegan friends definitely helps in the transition.

In the meantime, make better choices whenever you can.

Yup, trying. The siren call of milk and cheese is strong, but my red meat consumption is definitely down. Most pork is gone from my diet. Even bacon is a rarity. I recently discovered that I don't hate oat milk. So I'm making progress, but still have a lot more to do.

You can always just continue to eat some cheese. I guess it depends on why you want to be vegan, right?

I think if I got milk and cheese from a small farm where the cows get to nurse their calves and lead happy lives, I wouldn't feel like I have to give it up. But not sure if such a place exists or is possible.
