What's the difference between vegan and vegetarian?
i go to peta's website and they talk about vegan. is there any difference between vegan and vegetarian? please tell me i have been wondering for awhile.
Answers:
Vegetarians do not eat animals, of any kind.
If a person has dropped all animals but fish and/or birds from their diet, then they have made a great step, but they are not vegetarian because vegetarians do not eat animals.
:)
That being said:
______________________
VEGETARIANS:
*Eat NO dead animals, whether they walk, swim or fly
*Vegetarians do not eat foods that are *code words* for
dead animal, such as "gelatin"
*they can eat dairy and eggs but some choose not to
___________________
VEGANS
*Same as vegetarians
*They also do not eat products that come from animals, including eggs, dairy or honey
*They do not eat code words for products that come from animals such as casein (and many others)
*Vegans do not wear products from animals either. This includes: leather, wool, suede, down, silk etc.
*They purchase products that were not tested on animals or contain animal parts (soaps, health&beauty, toiletries etc.)

Now for some similarities:
Both are lifestyles and not just diets (except for the small
group of vegetarians who only stop eating meat because
they are on a *diet*
The very base level of vegetarianism is simply the absence of animal flesh.
There are many layers of vegetarianism because as people
feel comfortable, confident and knowledgeable, they drop
something else from their lifestyle. If a vegetarian does not
want to be a part of animal cruelty, then veganism would be
an ultimate goal.

vegans can eat fish but vegetarians don't eat any meat
Some vegetarians more strictly limit their diet than others. Some vegetarians will eat animal products that do not involve killing the animal such as milk/milk products and eggs. A vegan does not eat any animal products whatsoever, including eggs and milk/milk products.
Vegans do not eat any product from an animal, such as milk or cheese or meat or anything made from these products.
Vegans tend to have a vitimin B deficiency and must take supplements.
Vegetarians don't eat meat (though some eat fish, go figure).
There are multiple types of Vegetarian.
The original definition was not eating any red meat (beef, lamb, pork, etc), but eating fish and fowl. Now most people hear vegetarian and think "doesn't eat meat at all."
Vegans on the other hand won't eat anything that had a face or came from something that had a face.
Unless they are a level 5 vegan, in which case they don't eat anything with a shadow and compost in their pockets.
That last part was a Simpson's joke.
Vegans are strict vegetarians. No meat, cheeses, milk, eggs, fish, etc.
There are different types of vegetarians: Here is a website:

It explains them all and goes into detail of vegans
Yes there is a difference. Vegetarians don't eat any meat. Vegans don't eat any animal products whatsoever.
A vegan is someone who doesn't eat any animal ingredients and also doesn't wear fur or leather and doesn't use anything such as cleaning products that have animal ingredients or are tested on animals.
There are different kinds of vegetarians, some who eat eggs and nothing else from animals, some who eat dairy products and some who eat different kinds of food that might have animal ingredients in it.
A true vegan uses no eggs, milk, cheese, chicken, meat or seafood. There are many recipes for things like almond butter. Tofu takes on the flavor of whatever is combined with it and is a good source of protein.
yes.. a vegan doesn't eat eggs and dairy, but a vegetarian can eat one or both. a vegetarian that eats both is called an lacto-ovo vegetarian.
vegetarians don't eat animals but they do eat animal products (like milk, cheese and eggs) vegan's don't eat and animal products at all. for more information buy the new issue of seventeen it has a great article on how to become a vegetarian or vegan safely
Vegetarians have many different varieties. Some eat no flesh foods, but still include dairy and eggs in their diet. That's called ovo-lacto vegetarianism.
Some people eat fish, but no red meat or pork. That's actually called pesco-vegetarianism.
Some eat chicken, that's pollo-vegetarianism.
Vegans generally don't eat any animal products at all. that includes gelatin, whey, honey and some other animal products that are usually overlooked and unnoticed ingredients. Some vegans won't wear leather or use cosmetics with animal products or testing, although that is not required to be a vegan. I hope that helps.
There are different types of vegetarians.
A Vegan is a type of vegetarian.
Veganism is the strictest form of vegetarianism.
Vegans don't eat ANYTHING from an animal (this includes fish, seafood, blah blah blah)
Vegans consume a completely plant- based diet. No poultry, red meat, fish, seafood, Dairy, eggs, or anything that is made from animals (gelatin, etc). Also Vegans don't use or wear anything that is tested on animals or that is made from animals( leather, wool, ect.)....(me)
Then there are Ovo- Lacto Vegetarians. They exclude red meat, fish, seafood, and poultry, but eat eggs(Ovo) and dairy (Lacto).
There are also semi- vegetarians/ flexitarians. They eat mostly an Ovo- Lacto Vegetarian diet, but have the occasional piece of meat. Or they exclude red meat but eat poultry and seafood.
'Vegans' don't consume, wear, or use any sort of animal products, while vegetarians may or may not eat or use certain animal products (not meat, of course ... but eggs, dairy, etc).
