""When people ask me why I'm vegan, I say, "Because it's a healthy, environmentally friendly, and compassionate way of living. If you are truly interested in veganism, I would be happy to give you some additional information." Usually that ends the conversation.

However, if the above statement doesn't end the conversation and the person persists, I hand them a vegan business card (I always keep some in my wallet). This gives people the opportunity to learn more about veganism if they are really interested. "" - LittleCrystal on www.vegweb.com
