The most important thing is food education. Most people's eating habits are inherited from their parents and family. It's really hard to change them. In USA at least, the default options are not good. You have to make most of your own meals or be selectively eat at "healthy" restaurants if you want to be healthy. Otherwise you'll be overweight or skinny-fat. I think Europeans have much better default options than Americans and can see how veganism may not net the same benefits as it would in the states. I've been vegetarian for 10+ years. The lack of options in USA has actually made me healthier as I have to prepare my own food more often, but I know some unhealthy vegans who just don't cook.
