Whats the diff of a vegan and vegetarian? and i need some help because?
i've recently convereted from being a carnivore to a herbivore. any tips for a new herbivore?
Answers:
A vegan doesn't eat ANY animal products, like eggs or cheese or milk, stuff like that, even little trace amounts that are in everything it seems. A vegetarian doesn't eat meat, but will still eat some animal products like eggs.
A vegan does not eat any thing that comes from an animal, no milk, cheese, eggs, jello, or anything that has to do with animals. No leather, or such...
vegitarian is just don't eat meat
vegan is dont eat anything from an animal. So no cheese or milk or eggs either
A vegetarian doesn't eat any meat (no fish, no poultry, no red meat, no pork, etc). A vegan doesn't eat any animal products at all (no dairy, no meat, no eggs, some say no honey even).
A vegan doesn't use any animal products......butter, eggs, milk, etc.
Vegans eat no animal products at all...not eggs, milk, cheese, etc. Vegetarians often eat products PRODUCED by animals.
A vegan won't eat anything even remotely coming from animals, like milk eggs and cheese. A vegitarian will eat those things and sometimes even meats like fish and chicken. If you're converting for the health benifits just cutting red meat is a good start.
a vegan will not eat fish,eggs ,milk ,dairy..nothing at all that comes from an animal..avegetarian will eat eggs and dairy because no animals die from that ..some will eat fish some will not
vegan is short for vegetarian. If you're goin vegan you need to remember to eat beans or tofu.... believe it or not we as humans need the extra protien for healthy muscles. Not to change your mind but humans are designed to be omnivores, hence we have canines in our mouths, they're not much good for veggies but they work great at tearing meat.
Both vegetarians and vegans don't eat meat.
Some vegetarians and all vegans don't eat fish.
Vegans don't eat milk or eggs.
Also, just stay away from meat restaurants and products and McDonald's, which is evil anyway, and you'll be fine.
This:

is a good place to start. Contrary to a few answers, vegetarians do _not_ eat fish, never mind chicken.
The definition of 'vegan' seems to get a bit blurred; for some people, it includes not using any animal products -- no wearing leather, for example. I disagree with its including issues beyond diet, but beware said blurring.
Tips? Watch your iron intake. If you like spinach, start liking it a lot. It seems a bit overlooked with all the concern about getting enough protein.
Vegetarians are only partially insane, Vegans have completely lost it.
Your body is designed by nature to be an OMNIVORE. That is why you have pointy teeth. If you were supposed to be a vegetarian you would have flat teeth for grinding.
Don't fight nature. You will lose.
The same thing as everyone else said, but I'm just answering the last part. Try seitan, its really good and mimic meat SO close. It really gives you that satisfaction of meat-texture that you'll sometimes miss.
On a side note--I LOVE texascrazyhorse's answer--I never knew animals could PRODUCE much. I'd pay to see a farm where the cows PRODUCED cheese. I think its just the capitals that do it for me...
go back to being a omnivore. especially since you dont know the difference.
being vegan is not only about what you eat, but it is a completely different way of living, is it like a philosophy of life, where you don't eat/buy/wear/produce/ any animal derived stuff. Being a vegetarian is only about food, where you do not eat any meat at all, not even chicken or fish or seafood, no ants, no grasshoppers, no worms, but you can eat cheese, butter, milk, eggs, and mushrooms (for those who were wondering). As for the tips you ask, I suggest you eat almonds, nuts, cheese, spinach, beans, at least 3 times a weeks and use olive oil on salads at your discretion.
I won't go into the vegan/vegetarian thing because everybody else already has. But as far as tips go, become affiliated with spinach, ricotta and pumpkin in a big way (well not so much ricotta if you're vegan). You'll be surprised at how a whole meal can be based around these three ingredidents from risottos to pastries and pastas
just to address the whole "humans are designed as omnivores" thing: get a clue guys! you think you have sharp teeth? Are you kidding? try ripping off a big hunk of UNCOOKED meat, and chew that up. Last time I checked, all my molars were all flat, for grinding plant foods. Do you have a pet cat or dog? look at it's teeth. That's sharp teeth. Look at a picture of a monkey. Or Gorilla, or ANY primate (and yeah, that means humans too). Primates were NOT designed to eat meat. We have ADAPTED to eat meat, because its more efficient. Gorillas are huge, and all they eat is veggies, but they eat all frickin day. so there.
a vegetarian is strictly no meat a vegan is no meat or dairy products(milk,cheese, yogurt)
One is weird and one is very weird !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't a herbivore a dinosor ??
Carnovore's Rool !!!!!!!!!
