So to preface, my parents are often hypocritical, stubborn and often selfish. For instance my mother rants about how she only donates to help children and animals and not adults cause they “can just get a job”. At the drugstore I told her that the mascara she uses isn’t cruelty free and she replied “I don’t care! I’m not changing MY routine for YOUR beliefs. You can’t always be finger quotes cruelty free” (even though ELF is cf certified and sells mascara for the same price but that’s besides the point)

I’m a liberal teen living with conservative parents so it’s often hard to try to discuss these things without getting shot down and screamed at. Usually I let things slide under the rug unless it’s something I’m really passionate about, then I do my best to at least argue my point even though it’ll still get shot down.

The acts of Nestle corporations are wildly heinous and I’ve been educating myself on Illusion of Choice and what products and child brands I should avoid. My parents however often do not care about this stuff. The acts of these companies do not effect them so they don’t see anything wrong with it. They often argue their opinions when I present solid facts. So I’m nervous to bring this up. I’ve been gathering websites that state what happens but I know they’ll just say it’s bogus (trust me, it’s happened before, it’ll happen again). So does anybody have any advice on how I should go about this situation?
