So my mom, whom I was recently forced to move back in with, out of nowhere she accuses me of being malnourished. I've been vegan for 3 years and vegatarian for 2 before that, only noticed good changes. Feeling better than I ever have in my life, physically. But she decided to rail on my physique ( I have a fast metabolism, and weigh 130-135lbs usually) saying I'm nothing but skin and bones, that I need to eat meat. I told her exactly why I'm on this diet, I don't like meat, factory farming's bad, this reduces my risk of heart disease by 60% - but then she attacks my education, and insinuates that she knows better because she graduated from college (maybe I would've too if she hadn't forced me to choose between that and the military at 18!). She's insisting that the mediterrean diet is healthiest- which to be fair I find hard to believe isn't a close second, but I'd love to show her evidence to defend my position.
