Question: How do I persuade my mum to buy and eat healthy food?
My mum has a really bad diet consisting of lots of junk food like chocolate and crisps. I am really health concious and ask her to buy stuff like wholmeal bread opposed to white and to not buy crisps and chocolate. But she won’t listen to me! Grrr! She always gets angry with me when I talk to her about a healthy diet!
What would you suggest?

I dunno. . . . . . I would suggest telling your dad? Or hiding all of the unhealthy food in te house? Sorry. Good Luck.

Refuse to eat whats in the house – thats what i did. Then cook for her and make something really nice thats healthy! How bout cutting parsnips up and roasting them and making a big plate and set them down to her so she thinks there chips

i suggest that you show her articles or clips of what happens to people with unhealthy diets (like supersize me). tell her the upsides to healthy food, like how wholegrain foods fill you up faster and give you more energy. white bread, although “tastier”(i don’t find it tasty) is bad for your body because it uses bleach to make the flour white and has a lot of additives and preservatives which can harm the body (inducing cancer or diabetes…)
if she still doesn’t want to listen to you, you can ask her to buy the healthy and the unhealthy food – the healthy for you and the unhealthy for her. you can’t force something on her if she doesn’t want it so compromise. she’ll see how you’re benefiting from the healthy food and begin to realize how healthy food is MUCH better than unhealthy food

When she goes to shop, give her a list of the items you’d like to eat. Fruits & veggies aren’t expensive, so she shouldn’t have anything to say. The same with wheat bread, soups, etc. I wish you the best of luck with that.
