I have always been curious about this. Did you get them to use other services or did they stubbornly refuse and you just accepted it? I am talking using Chrome, using Windows, using social media like Tiktok or Facebook or Instagram, etc. Bonus points if you have kids because that is even more work in the privacy realm

      I actually tried. Read up on nutrients, cooked all my own meals from diverse, fresh ingredients, etc.
      It didn’t work. I was always hungry, my whole day revolved around food and after 4 weeks, my hair started to fall out.
      I still remember the feeling I had when I ate the first steak again after giving up. It was pure joy.

      I admire every vegan, I eat meat less than once a week, but my body just doesn’t seem to work on a vegan diet.

        if your hair was “falling out” just because you tried to have a vegan diet, either you were doing something really wrong or something’s wrong with your body. Did you see a doctor or a nutritionist?

          Yes, turned out I’m gluten intolerant and allergic to most nuts and fruit, which makes a vegan diet pretty much impossible
          (Seitan = gluten, and nuts are essential for Omega3, Selenium, Calcium and Magnesium)

          Believe me, I’ve done my research.

            i’m sorry to read that.

            I had a friend who had to go back to eating meat after +20 years of vegetarianism because of health problems like yours. It wasn’t a joy for him as it was an ethical choice.

            good luck
