Sounds like you are in quite a moral dilemma with your parents business and your own involvement - I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with such a situation. Is New Zealand already ready for a change, by saying yes to a plantbased cruelty-free cafe? Many traditional restaurants and cafes worldwide have made a successful transition to a vegan menu and were celebrated for that. But I can imagine that this is a whole different story in a small town like Omokoroa... Melbourne will definitely give you the vegan vibes you are missing right now 😉

Hey! yeah it is a hard situation! but it's also good for me in a way. It's made me realise how strongly i do feel about the whole dairy situation. When my mom first bought the cafe she had all intentions of bringing vegan and vegetarian food to the menu. Unfortunately, we live in an area surrounded by retirement villages and they weren't interested at all! We were actually losing a lot of money. Plus NZ is BIG on meat. Cant wait to get back to Melbourne!! i'll spend the first two weeks eating at every vegan place possible haha
Yes, I can imagine that such a community is not welcoming this new way of eating with open arms 😁 It‘s great of you to see this tricky situation as a chance to get to know your own position towards dairy, I love the spirit behind it 😉
