What is healtier : to be vegan or vegetarian? (Lets put animal rights aide for a moment)?!
Even with that, I simply can't "put animal rights aside". Even if veganism were as unhealthy as everyone on here claims, I would still follow that lifestyle, because I could still survive, while the animals couldn't.
Answers: As long as you are eating a properly healthful and varied diet, a vegan diet can be just as healthy if not healthier than a vegetarian diet. Sure, it's slightly more of a challenge to get B12 (but not if you know what you're doing), but you get to miss out on all of the saturated fat and cholesterol in dairy and eggs. Many studies have shown that, despite ads to the contrary, milk is actually bad for calcium, as it inhibits calcium absorption.

In my opinion, neither. Our bodies are made to be omnivores....which means we eat both meat and fruits and veggies. When you become a vegetarian or vegan, you deprive your body of essential vitamins and minerals. But of the two, I'd say vegetarian is healthier. I don't see why people want to become vegan. It's not like when you milk a cow they die...it actually feels good to them.
There are several advantages to cutting meat out of your diet, but as far as I know, there haven't been any studies that compare vegetarianism to veganism. I would think that the differences would be insignificant.
As much as some people portray the evils of milk, eggs, etc., you would think that eating the stuff would kill you. Well, not really. Even meat (a big no-no for all of us veg*ns) CAN be part of a healthy diet. It's all about moderation.
Each has it's pros and cons. With vegetarianism, you have to worry about hormones in milk, cholesterol, etc. and with veganism you have to worry about meal planning, nutrient deficiencies, etc.
It really comes down to a matter of personal preference.
My Flexetarian vegan diet is far superior to the rest of the veggieheads diet.
