What's the difference between Vegan & Vegetarian??

Question

SO can't we say Vegetarians are omnivores?

Answer 1

Vegans do not eat any meat or any food that has any product from an animal in it or any product that  comes from an animal (milk,cheese,eggs, etc.) while a vegetarian doesn't eat meat.

Answer 2

Vegan is a lifestyle

Vegetarian is a diet

Answer 3

A vegan is someone who doesn't eat any byproduct that comes from animals. That includes honey, milk or any dairy, eggs, red meat, fish, poultry, etc. It's really hard to be one because you have to check the labels on everything.

A vegetarian is someone who doesn't eat any meat, but they can eat eggs. A vegetarian can also eat fish, if they really want to.

You can't really say a vegetarian is an omnivore because they would have to make meat and plants as their primary source of food. Vegetarians get plants as their primary source.

Answer 4

Well, vegans don't use ANYTHING used on animals, have anything do do w/ animals, and don't eat ANYTHING w/ meat product in it. Vegetarians just don't EAT meat...they just believe meat is murder, so they don't eat it...:)

Answer 5

vegans don't eat fish, dairy, or anything that has to do with animals, while vegetarians can eat fish and eat eggs, and things like that!

Answer 6

Vegetarian is a blanket term to describe someone who does not eat meat of any kind (even fish & seafood).  Vegetarians can consume dairy products.

Vegans do not eat any meat and do not consume/use any product or byproduct deriving from an animal.  This means that anything of or from an animal is off limits for a true vegan.  Leather, wool, honey (in some cases), eggs, milk, cheese, gelatin, etc,... are all no-nos for a vegan.

Onivores are defined as an "organism that eats both plants and animals"; so vegetarians are not omnivores, though they do consume products deriving from animals.

Answer 7

vegans don't use/eat ANY animal products and vegetarians can eat animal products.

Answer 8

Vegans are stricter than vegetarians. Vegans endeavor not to use or consume animal products of any kind (e.g. dairy).
