ok so are you concidered a vegan if you don't eat meat but you do eat milk products or are there different types of vegans!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
There are different types of vegetarian and vegans, see below!. Vegans do not consume milk products!.

When most people think of vegetarians, they think of lacto-ovo-vegetarians!. People who do not eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or animal flesh of any kind, but do eat eggs and dairy products are lacto-ovo vegetarians (“lacto” comes from the Latin for milk, and “ovo” for egg)!.

Lacto-vegetarian is used to describe a vegetarian who does not eat eggs, but does eat dairy products!.

Ovo-vegetarian refers to people who do not eat meat or dairy products but do eat eggs!.

Vegan
Vegans do not eat meat of any kind and also do not eat eggs, dairy products, or processed foods containing these or other animal-derived ingredients such as gelatin!. Vegans also refrain from eating foods that are made using animal products that may not contain animal products in the finished process, such as some sugars and some wines!. They also avoid foods such as honey!.

Raw vegan/Raw food diet
A raw vegan diet consists of unprocessed vegan foods that have not been heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius)!. “Raw foodists” believe that foods cooked above this temperature have lost a significant amount of their nutritional value and are harmful to the body!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

What is a Vegan!?
Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, or poultry!. Vegans, in addition to being vegetarian, do not use other animal products and by-products such as eggs, dairy products, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics, and soaps derived from animal products!.


Why Veganism!?
People choose to be vegan for health, environmental, and/or ethical reasons!. For example, some vegans feel that one promotes the meat industry by consuming eggs and dairy products!. That is, once dairy cows or egg-laying chickens are too old to be productive, they are often sold as meat; and since male calves do not produce milk, they usually are raised for veal or other products!. Some people avoid these items because of conditions associated with their production!.

Many vegans choose this lifestyle to promote a more humane and caring world!. They know they are not perfect, but believe they have a responsibility to try to do their best, while not being judgmental of othersWww@FoodAQ@Com

There are not different types of vegans!. There are different types of vegetarians, vegans being one of them!.

A vegan does not eat ANY animal product or food that is processed using animal products (i!.e!. sugar, honey, etc!.)!. Vegans typically will not wear leather, either!.

A vegetarian will eat dairy products and honey!.

I take my original statement back!. There are "Raw Food Vegans"!. This is a vegan diet that does not allow cooked foods!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegan means you dont eat ANY animal product and/or material items made of animal, including makeup, clothing, handbags and more!. Its as simple as that!.
