As a new vegan, my family hasn't adjusted yet, and I'm all for giving them time.

But the other day my mom was making a non-vegan cake and she wanted to know if the frosting needed more sugar, so she asked me to try it (it had cream mixed with chocolate). I refused, but she got a little annoyed and said "Come on, it's just a teaspoon, what difference does it make?".

At the moment, I didn't know how to respond to this. Any recommendations? How can I explain to her that I don't even want to have a teaspoon of animal products?

Btw I'm mostly vegan for the health benefits.

Thanks in advance!
