FYI, Veganism isn't about reducing your carbon footprint or living healthily, those things are an added bonus. Being vegan means saying no to cruelty towards other sentient and intelligent beings and enslaving them for our culinary pleasure purposes. So having a friend who is vegan wouldn't really eliminate cruelty towards chickens for example, as your craving for delicious chicken would still require chickens to be slaughtered, i.e. Is cruelty ok, so you can continue to experience culinary pleasures? Tough questions... Edit: mainly referring to factory farming and large scale meat industry, where most of the meat we consume comes from.
