Question:

What's the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan?

Answers:

VEGETARIANS:
*Eat no dead animals, whether they walk, swim or fly
*There is no such thing as a vegetarian who eats fish or birds
*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.)
________________________

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*

Both lifestyles are different levels of the same cause. Many vegetarians take steps toward becoming vegan.

A vegan is very strict and will eat only vegetables and fruits. A vegetarian will often call himself an ovo-lacto-vegetarian which means he will eat eggs and milk products as well.

The term vegetarian typically refers to one's diet. The term vegan refers to one's lifestyle. The vegetarian diet can range from a person who eats seafoods or poultry to a person who eats no food of animal origin. The vegan goes one step further and strives to consume no products that are from animal origin...including leather shoes, cosmetics tested on animals, and so on.

The vegan diet can be a concern to many. There are certain vitamins (like B12) that one can't get from non-animal sources. If you are considering a vegan diet, be cautious about supplementing the missing nutrients. Consult with someone who can help you with menu planning and be prepared to eat at home! Not many restaurants offer vegan meals!
