So you’re vegan, officially off the market, and wrapped up in boyfriend bliss … except for the fact that your BF still eats zombie food (aka wings, breasts, thighs, ribs, etc.). What’s a gal to do? Spread the vegan love!
Five Ways to Get Your Boyfriend to Go Vegan
Have you gotten your BF to go veg? Gimme deets! Share your story below in the comments section!
peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Hello! My name is Nina, and I am a musician-in-training, and I play 7 instruments. I am a liberal, an LGBT activist, avid reader, composer, singer, and poi spinner. I am vegan, and a strong supporter of animal rights.
Born and raised in Mexico. I love vegan food and animals!
I was born in Canada and love peta2. I table every month and meet new people:older and younger. I love music and play the recorder. I'm a 6 year spelling bee champion. Again I love peta2!
I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
I'm tall, I love sewing, fashion and the environment, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.) Obviously, I love animals! :)

Bookmarked, favorited, and +1d. I got my boyfriend to give up red meat, but I’m definitely going to try to convince him to go vegetarian or vegan!
Thanks for the tips!

My boyfriend is vegetarian, but not vegan… I love him and love that he doesn’t want to kill animals, but I don’t think he understands the benefits of being vegan or the pain that not being vegan causes the animals he claims to care so much about. I was vegetarian for years and years before becoming vegan, but I eventually realized that it was hypocritical of me to make animal rights my number 1 cause in life and not be vegan. My boyfriend went vegetarian two years ago a bit after we first started dating, and I am confident now that he would never eat meat even if we broke up, but he still refuses to be vegan… I don’t know what to do. He didn’t even eat vegan on Valentine’s Day! = (
Also, he eats gelatin, and when his mom bought milk that was omega-3 enriched (with fish oil) he said he didn’t care that much!!!! I was mortified

I guess that’s pretty nice I have no boyfriend. It’s better to date nobody than to spend your life for a person who doesn”t even want to understand that eating meat and wearing leather&fur is as cruel as raping and murdering people.
Well, moreover, I’m from Ukraine and it’s really difficult to find here someone who would be interested in animal rights.

I’m a 4 year vegetarian, and my boyfriend had been a vegetarian before, but hadn’t been recently, and he went back to it since we’ve been together, and he really is glad that he did. He said it’s way easier to be vegetarian now because I cook so often, haha. He’s been going strong for several months now
He loves animals too. He’s recently been taking an interest in helping me with my peta street team missions too

my Boyfriend says he wants to go Vegetarian, but its too hard for him. plus his dad doesn’t think highly of my choices, and he is very cruel to his own animals.

#2 is ridiculous & petty. You should only ave eyes for your man in the first place & doing that can greatly backfire.
Buuut, my boyfriend was veg for 7 years & went back to meat to gain muscle. After being with/& living with me for 9 months, & my constant involvement in a cruelty-free lifestyle, he is going to cut meat out of his diet again in a short while

That button is GREAT! Oh how I wish I had one to tote around with me
I didn’t ask him to, but a past boyfriend of mine went vegetarian on his own. My being vegetarian and hence only eating vegetarian when we went out, and gushing at him about animals like all the time, probably helped, though
We’re no longer a couple, but he’s still vegetarian, AND he’s proof that people can be suuuuper intense about sports (he’s some insane percentage muscle and captain of the swim team) and still be vegetarian – in fact, he says that he’s actually felt better since becoming a vegetarian!

I know my boyfriend loves animals but he just can’t give up whoppers :/ I do fix him up vegan food though. I’d rather he make the decision to eat cruelty free than mr pushing it on him.

All I had to say when I first started dating my boyfriend was, “Vegans boys are hot.” He went vegetarian like instantly and is now vegan.
(Though he says I only played a small role in his decision)
Great blog Sunny!
