Vegan and vegetarian?

Question

what's the difference between these two types of people?

Answer 1

Vegetarians don't eat meat and mostly veggies. There's lots of different types of vegetarians - ones that eat eggs, ones that drink milk, ones that eat both, and so on.

Vegans don't eat animal products at all. That means they don't eat eggs, milk, cheese, butter, ect.

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 4

Vegetarian's eat eggs and diary products.

Answer 5

To be perfectly correct a vegetarian is the same as a vegan unless specified what kind of vegetarian with additional words. However most people think of vegans as being completely free from animal products and vegetarians as having some animal products in their diet. So in society you can call people 'vegetarians' and ppl will think you mean 'eats some animal products' even if this is not strictly correct terminology

If you want to get it really right you can specify:

Lacto vegetarian (has dairy products)

Ovo vegetarian (has eggs)

Lacto-ovo vegetarian (has dairy and eggs)

Pesko vegetarian ( I think this is fish)

There are other types too. I generally feel bad to say "Im a vegan" as I eat honey and wear leather shoes. But I dont think Im as lax as most people would imagine a "vegetarian" to be. I think the term vegetarian has gained popularity as a shorter term rather than saying all the prefixes. If you eat a combination you have to add another prefix (eg Lacto ovo vegetarian)

Hope this helps
