...They’ll list what they’ve previously been conditioned to believe, so if they’re parents and friends insist that vegetarianism is a stupid idea they’ll avoid it. They then become a product, not of their own choices, but of the various influences that they have been introduced to throughout their life.

This is true of everything, not just your parents or primary relationships; you can try to select your influences, but these were predetermined by previous influences - you're opinions, your beliefs, the things you hold as 'right' and, by association, your choices, all stem from your perceptions.
You are a product of your own experience - though realising this will add a whole new dimension.
