Give them nothing
Practice
There is no menu on the street. By default you meet one unknown person and just talk, the way it really happens.

Full Run: Evasive Non-Vegan
Every step rests on: holding individuals accountable, putting them in the victim's position, and treating this as a call to action, not food for thought.
Weak
I hope this gives you something to think about on your journey.
Strong
There is no acceptable reason not to live vegan right now. Vegan from now on?
Qualify with exploitation, establish respect, expose the contradiction. Without that foundation you cannot flex on later steps, and you will lose the conversation to diet talk or tangents.
Exploitation is the act of using someone for your purposes or as a means to an end. Show flesh, milk, eggs, skins. Make it about feeling and exploitation, not factory farms, suffering, or statistics.
