Answers:
In His Story he says " Being a raw foodist, the only “meat” I eat is the occasional fish!. That basically makes me a vegan!. "

He is Not a Vegan !.!.he is "basically" a Vegan , and since I can change a Faucet I am "basically " a Plumber !.!. You asked this question and you are "basically a writer"

That is about how close to a Vegan he really is !. ( a hate to say he is an Outright liar)

A Vegan never ever eats fish , eggs , or any other Animal or Animal by product !. No dairy, eggs, honey !. A Dietary Vegan stops here!.

A Vegan also wears no fur, no leather, no silk, no wool , Uses No products tested on animals or contain animal ingredients !. They do not exploit or use animals in any way for our own pleasure ( except maybe having a pet or two or three or !.!.well !.!.my nine rescue cats give me lots of pleasure!.!.lol) , but you know what I mean !.

Some things are considered unavoidable and therefore you could drive a car and be a Vegan ,

But Intentional is very different and there are No exclusions for intentionally eating animals!. He is NOT EVEN a vegetarian !.

I hope that helped you understand , but some people think it is cool , so they call themselves Something they are Not!.


Vegan ForeverWww@FoodAQ@Com

Vegans don't eat/wear/use anything coming from animals as you said first no eggs, milk, cheese, also no honey, leather, wool, etc!. If a person eats no meat but drinks milk or eats eggs then they are vegetarians (like an ovo or a lacto vegetarian)!. For that website you found, that person is not even a vegetarian cos he or she eats fish!.

Edit: i saw the site, this dude is wayyyy to confuse to talk about anything, first he says his diet is raw and then he says he eats fish and that by that fact he is a vegan, NONE of that is true maybe he could be clasified as pescetarian (person who only eats fish i mean from animals), but i really doubt he follows anything like that cos he just doesn't know what is he talking about, you don't have anything to be confused about, vegans do not eat fish or eggs!Www@FoodAQ@Com

i'm a vegetarianWww@FoodAQ@Com

Vegans do not eat fish or eggs, or any other material from animals!. That person is not vegan!. They're not even vegetarian because they eat fish!. Vegetarians do not eat animals!.

Answering your additional comment: He also says he works out, yet he looks about 110 pounds soaking wet, with toothpicks for arms!. He obviously doesn't understand what vegan means!. No vegan eats eggs!. That would make him an ovo-vegetarian if he didn't eat fish!. If he eats fish, that makes him a pescetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well there are two main types Vegans and Vegetarians

Vegans do not eat anything that has some form, type or base of animal products, that includes, eggs, cheese and honey

Vegetarians on the other hand< some eat eggs and cheese but absolutely no meat!.!.!.

So vegans are more strict when it comes to food but as for vegetarians they can have alot of stuff that vegans can't eat like cupcakes, muffins, ice cream, etc!.!. Vegans have to get their own vegan cheese, cake etcWww@FoodAQ@Com

That personis not a vegan if he/she eat eggs and fish, trust me!. That person isn't even a vegetarian if he/she eats fish!. He/she is a pescetarian!. A vegan is one who eats no animal products, such as meat, fish, poultry (eggs), dairy and most vegans choose not to eat honey!. Hope I cleared that up for you :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegan's do not eat any meat, eggs, dairy, or processed foods with any byproducts such as gelatin!. A vegetarian who eats fish or eggs is not a fake vegetarian but rather a pescatarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegans don't eat anything that comes from an animal at all!.
The fish and egg person was probably a vegetarian!. But a fake one, because he/she eats fish!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegans avoid any ingredient that is derived from any animal, alive or dead!. Easy! Definitely no fish or eggs! This person is a fool!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm veganWww@FoodAQ@Com

That clueless guy is not a vegan!. He'd make an excellent candidate for Tool Academy Season 2, however!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No vegan eats fish or eggs!. Period!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

just eat meat don't worry about it,half of these so called vegans don't practice what they preach, they are just trying to get on the band wagon I know a lot of people that have stopped eating meat but most went back to meat and fish!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
