Answers:
A vegan does not eat ANYthing from an animal, including, meat, dairy, eggs, animal products like gelatin, or honey.
Also a vegan does not wear or use anything from an animal, or use or eat anything tested on animals
A vegetarian does not eat meat but eats dairy and eggs as well as other animal products.
I would use the better term ovo- lacto vegetarian, or lacto- ovo vegetarian. but I always get "thumbs down" I guess because I complicate the matter.
But I would think that the correct term for some one that does not eat meat but consumes eggs (ovo) and dairy (lacto) an Ovo- lacto vegetarian, since they are types of vegetarians. But whatever.
Simply:
Vegan- stricter vegetarian diet, no meat, eggs, dairy, and do not use anything that is not animal friendly.
Vegetarian(ovo-lacto) - Vegetarian diet, does not eat meat, but consumes dairy, eggs, and other animal products.
** fish and birds are considered meat, just for the record.
A vegetarian doesn't eat meat. A vegan doesn't eat ANY animal products whatsoever. Hope that helps!!!
Vegans avoid any products that come from animals - meat, milk, eggs, leather for clothes or shoes & often fur if it requires killing the animal to obtain it. Vegetarians usually are OK with leather & some furs, as well as eggs & dairy products.
Cowgirl basically nailed it. Vegans also don't eat honey because it is an unnatural environment for bees.
Vegetarians just plain out don't eat meat, but they eat dairy products and I think they eat honey.
Word.
A vegetarian doesn't eat meat, but they can eat dairy products liek milk and cake. A vegan doesn't eat any animal products at all.
A vegetarian can be anyone who doesn't eat beef to someone that only eats eggs, dairy or both. These types of vegetarians are usually labled after the latin name for the animal or animal product they eat. If you eat only fish, eggs and dairy you are called an Ovo-Lacto-Peshi Vegetarian.
Veganism is a lifestyle that encludes personal and politcal reasons not to eat or use animal products. These range from allergies to humane treatment for all animals. Calm Vegans will usually tell you that if it has a brain they won't eat it. Extream Vegans might picket a Mc Donalds and hand out fliers that make you puke.
a vegan is short for vegetarian
A vegetarian can't eat meat
A vegeterain doesn't eat meat of any kind.
A vegan doesn't eat meat of any kind, or any animal product (milk, cheese, honey, etc.)
Some vegans also avoid wearing products made from animals (ie - leather coats) sometimes, but I don't think the definition of vegan actully means they HAVE to avoid wearing leather, etc., it's just that some of them do do this.
A vegetarian avoids eating actual animals, but includes eggs and milk. A vegan avoid eating any animal-related products, including eggs and milk.
vegetarians dont eat fish, poultry or red meat
vegans dont eat any of the above and also refrain from eggs, dairy, gelatin and animal by-products.
a vegan won't have anything that is made by an animal, like eggs, milk, dairy products, etc. a vegetarian eats those things, just not meat.
The difference between vegetarian and vegan is, vegetarian eat dairy products,fish, and eggs, but vegan don't eat that stuff they eat veggies, fruits, and rice.
a veggitarian does not eat meat, but still might wear things that come from animals, and might still eat eggs and milk
a vegan, does not eat meat, eggs, drink milk, use or wear any thing that comes from a animal.
