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


Question: What's the difference between a vegan and a vegetarian?
If there is any at all.

Answers:

Vegetarians don't buy or consume meat, including fish and gelatin, or foods containing them.

Vegans are vegetarians who also don't:
buy or consume dairy, eggs, honey, or foods containing them,
buy or wear fur, leather, silk, wool, or clothing trimmed in them,
buy or use consumer products from companies whose distributors conduct animal toxicity tests,
or frequent zoos, circuses, rodeos, aquariums, or other venues where animals are held in captivity or forced to perform for profit.

Vegetarians just restrict themselves from the consumption of eating meat. Vegans on the other hand, don't consume meat, eggs, dairy, honey, white granulated sugar, beeswax. Anything that comes from an animal. Typically to make it short and sweet - no animal products. This also includes everything day items like clothing, soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, candles, etc.



Vegetarian - wont eat meat
vegan - wont eat meat, eggs, dairy, honey, gelatin, or anything that comes from an animal.(also wont use anything if it contains animal products/it's tested on animals. For example, shampoo that was tested on animals would be considered non-vegan.)
