In response to a question about dealing with parents who oppose a vegan diet, Acharya Prashant advises against taking the extreme measure of distancing oneself from them. He likens this to using a "stone crusher" where a simple "wrench" would suffice, stating that creating a gap or not talking to them is not needed at all. He emphasizes that the most overwhelming evidence in support of veganism comes from the medical field itself. For this particular issue, he suggests setting aside arguments based on spirituality, compassion, ethics, or culture and focusing solely on medical science, which indicates that veganism is the way. Acharya Prashant explains that with each passing day, more and stronger evidence from research papers and journals supports veganism. He suggests that the questioner's parents, despite their medical background, may not be aware of the latest developments and simply need to update their knowledge. The solution is not to engage in frantic measures or "jam the emergency brakes on the relationship," but to provide them with a "potent diet of medical facts." This information is readily available online, or a meeting can be arranged with an up-to-date physician or dietitian who can explain the problems associated with a diet rich in animal content, especially for older people who wish to live long and healthy lives. He frames the issue as a secular matter, advising against quarreling on principles or confronting them on ethics. He clarifies that while everyone is entitled to their opinion on subjects like ethics, nobody is entitled to an opinion that contravenes a fact. Once a fact is established scientifically, in black and white and numerical terms, it should not be quarreled with. He concludes that the health benefits of a vegan diet are a scientifically established fact, beyond any debate. This factual information should be the "ammunition" used to address the situation, rather than resorting to emotional or ethical arguments.
