Answers:
depends on the product!. for example organic milk would be a no but organic veggies or organic fruits are okay!. organic means carbon containing and that it has been grown naturally not with the use of pesticides!. so basically it depends what the product is!.
i'm glad you know what being a vegan is and good luck if you choose that lifestyle !! =]Www@FoodAQ@Com

Organic means that the producers didn't use any pesticides, chemical growth enhancers, or antibiotics/hormones when producing the food!.
Animal products like eggs, meat, and milk can also be organic- it means that the animals weren't injected with hormones and weren't given harmful antibiotics!.
Vegan just means that it doesn't contain any animal products or byproducts!. Vegans can definitely consume organic fruits, vegetables, and grains, but they would not consume organic milk, meat, etc!.
Most producers who make organic food are aware that people who buy their products are the people who actually read labels, so the labels are usually accurate and list any animal products or byproducts!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Organic is a way of growing foods, vegan is a lifestyle!. One can have a organic vegan lifestyle though!. I have never heard of albertson's, myself being vegan, but I would check the ingredients of everything before you get it!.
BTW peanut butter generally does not have animal fat in it, I don't know what peanut butter you're eating but ewww!. If it has to do with the fact that it has saturated fat in it does not mean animals are in it plants too produce that fat, check out palm oils sometime

Vegan foods contain no animal products or byproducts!.

When something is organic, it contains no pesticides, chemical fertilizers, additives, growth hormones, etc!. "Organic" does not mean "vegan", because it is possible for meat, dairy, and eggs to be organic!.

So, if the organic item is also vegan, vegans will eat it!. Organic beef!? Not so much!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Before you choose a Vegan lifestyle you should know what that means!. Not only do vegans abstain from eating meat, but they do not eat any foods that contain animal by-products!. (they often do not use beauty products or clothes that contain animal products) For instance, cheese is made from milk and peanut butter has animal fat, so they would be off limits to a Vegan!. Vegans eat mostly grains, veggies fruits and product like tofu that are made from vegetables!. There are a great deal of vegan friendly products on the market now!. Check your health food store or the health foods aisle of your grocery store!. The second part of your questions was regarding organic food!. Organic, simply means that the animal was raise or the plant was grown with out the use of chemicals, hormones or antibiotics!. So Vegans can and do of course by organic foods, but they don't have to!. Organic foods, including meats and dairy products are used by a wide variety of carnivores, myself included!. On my list, organic yogurt and milk!. I obviously eat animal products, I just prefer that the animals are raised naturally and are free of antibiotics therefor organic!.

Hoped this helped=)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Is it warmer in the country than it is in the summer!?

Your question is like comparing apples and oranges!. Organic means using only natural substances and vegan means avoiding animal related products!. By definition organic can include animal related products!.

Organic is a way to grow fruit, grain, produce - while vegan is another type of vegetarian - one who adds no wearing of leather, use of any type of animal products to dietary choices that exclude meat products!.

Vegetarians and vegans both can eat organic produce!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
