What's the different between a vegetarian and vegan?

Question

Thank you for the answers. =)

Answer 1

veggys eat protein like eggs ,cheese but not meat. vegans don't eat any protein what so ever and find that they have to take pills to replace the lack of protein that is missing

Answer 2

Vegetarians have made a decision not to eat meat as a rule. There are several kinds of vegetarians- some still eat fish, for example, as its not a red meat.

Vegans, however, don't eat any kind of meat whatsoever, but take it to the next level- they don't consume animal byproducts either. They don't have things like milk, cheese, (any dairy), eggs, gelatin, etc. True vegans also do not wear animal products- no fur, no leather.

Answer 3

vegans go totally With out any type of meat some even go with out any dairy eggs milk cheese and so forth

Answer 4

vegans dont eat eggs or drink milk or any dairy products...they eat soya instead...

Answer 5

Vegetarians don't eat dead animals, so no meat and no slaughter byproducts.

Vegans don't eat, use, wear, purchase or otherwise consume anything of animal origin whatsoever, regardless of whether the animal died for it.  So no meat, no slaughter byproducts, no eggs, no dairy, no honey, no leather, suede, fur, wool, down, silk, and no consumer goods made with animal ingredients or animal testing.

(Samuel F is highly confused about protein.  Protein is the building block of life, meaning plants are made of protein, too!  Protein is abundant on a plant-based diet and does NOT need to be supplemented with pills or powders.)

Answer 6

Vegans do not eat anything to do with animals eggs cheese milk etc and they don't wear leather shoes handbags fur etc. vegetarians will sometimes eat eggs milk and wear leather products

Answer 7

a vegan cuts out all dairy,eggs,cheese etc and basically lives on nuts,fruit,veg seeds and whatnot.a vegetarian usually keeps dairy in the diet...

Answer 8

The best answer that I can think to give you is from the dictionary.

Vegetarian - noun - a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.  

Vegan - noun - A vegetarian who eats plant products only, especially one who uses no products derived from animals, as fur or leather. Coined by Donald Watson to distinguish those who abstain from all animal products (eggs, cheese, etc.) from those who merely refuse to eat the animals.

Answer 9

A vegetarian doesnt eat meat products whereas a vegan doesnt eat any product which has any animal by-products such as milk, cheese, gelatine etc

Answer 10

Dont know.

They both smell of cabbage and patchouli oil.

Answer 11

a vegetarian is someone who dosn't eat meat. and a vegan is someone who dosen't eat anything that comes from a animal( milk eggs, meat, ect.)

Answer 12

Vegetarians can eat stuff like eggs,fish,ice cream and milk.

Vegans Don't eat anything got to do with animals.

So no eggs because they come from chickens

and nothing with milk because it comes from cows.

Answer 13

vegans will not eat anything that is a product of an animal eg.. egs dairy honey vegetarian will eat honey eggs and such but dont eat red and sometimes white meats

Answer 14

The word "vegetarian" is a generic blanket term used to describe anybody who does not eat meat, poultry, fish, or seafood. This encompasses vegans and also the various vegetarian sub-groups. Vegetarians are generally those people who have chosen a diet with far less restrictions than those chosen by a vegan.

The differences between the various vegetarian sub-groups may appear to be small, but they are very important to the members who belong to each groups. In many cases the distinctions are important dietary or ethical decisions taken by the individual.

Here are the various vegetarian sub-groups:

SEMI-VEGETARIAN

===================================

Semi-vegetarians are people who have chosen to live a lifestyle which is not strictly vegetarian. A semi-vegetarian may be a person who only eats meat occasionally, or perhaps doesn’t eat meat, but eats poultry and fish.



1) Ovo-Lacto-Vegetarian

--------------------------------------...

Ovo-lacto vegetarians are vegetarians who do not eat meat, poultry, fish, and seafood, but do eat eggs and milk. This is by far the largest group of vegetarians.



2) Ovo-Vegetarian

--------------------------------------...

Ovo-vegetarians are people who would be classed as vegans if they did not eat eggs.



3) Lacto-Vegetarian

--------------------------------------...

Lacto-vegetarians are people who would be classed as vegans if they did not consume milk.



VEGAN

======================================...

This is by far the strictest vegetarian sub-group or category.

A vegan is a person who has chosen not to consume any animal products or byproducts. Some will even so far as not consuming honey and yeast, and others will not wear any clothing made from animal products. Veganism is a diet and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. Vegans endeavor not to use or consume animal products of any kind. The most common reasons for becoming a vegan are ethical commitment or moral convictions concerning animal rights, the environment, human health, and spiritual or religious concerns. Of particular concern are the practices involved in factory farming and animal testing, and the intensive use of land and other resources required for animal farming.
