I've come to visit her from outer state, and in the middle of lunch she told me she's thinking about becoming a vegan "because of the animals".

Mind you, my mom has always been a strong meat eater and when I had a vegetarian phase myself she always told me "a meal without meat is not a meal."

I discovered she's been watching a lot of YouTube videos and is being brainwashed.

Other than scaring her about lack of calcium and the higher chance for neurological degenerative conditions such as dementia that vegans have, what can I do to stop her from getting these ideas?

Support her and make sure she made a will in your favor. Or if you actually want your mom to live, you could just tell her most of the stuff on the internet she watches is bullshit and even more so if it's on youtube.

some yes, others no

the healthy vegans take the extra steps to make sure they are getting full supplements

while most other retarded vegans end up becoming deficient to the point of being in poor health

many just go back to eating meat, like a phase

Tell the truth that veganism doesn't actually help any animals. Its not like if you bite some fucking bark that a cow is magically saved from slaughter. It's not like buying oreos is gunna stop a lamb from becoming lamb chops. Also crops require protection from birds and rodents and insects and farmers do that by killing them. Its the biggest con in recent history, its all about good feels, feeling like you're doing something good when in reality you are doing something stupid. Not to mention the malnutrition that can so easily happen if you don't have your entire diet planned out and you stay ontop of it.

Livestock eat the majority of "crops" you are talking about.

A reminder that "grass fed beef" in the us isn't checked up on by any authority and it's all based on an honor system. And even with those lax rules only 3% of beef produced claim to be grass fed.

You probably can't sway her from trying it out for a while. Most people can't keep it up and go vegetarian or just avoid meat but eat small amounts from time to time. Try to help understand how she can keep up veganism in a healthy (as possible) manner and also show how she can live a mostly vegetarian lifestyle in a much easier and healthier way.
