How is it going being the Superman of health in your own life? It does require a little extra work and planning at first until new habits are established, but it gets easier.
Start this healthy lifestyle change with you. According to Marion Nestle, Ph.D., M.P.H., in her blog "Food Politics", nothing is more intimate than food, more personal than food choices. Unless what people are eating is causing them serious harm, don't dream of commenting. Deal with them the same way porcupines make love--Very Carefully!
I, too, have noticed defensiveness regarding diet. Mention being vegan in an offhand way and others feel the need to defend what they eat. I follow the Runners World On-line Forums as I have always been a runner wannabe. There are frequent pitched battles between "Vegi's" and "Omni's". There are never any winners in these battles. People believe what they believe, let the facts be damned.
Just start with you. Just start.
