What makes a strict vegetarian a vegan?

Question

i know niether eat meat byproducts or meat for that matter, but what else?

Answer 1

Couldn't make it any more straight forward than Jen's post. Mainly due to factory farming conditions that rob the animals of a reasonable life leading to early deaths. Even the bees often get harmed or killed in the smoking and honey collecting process.

Answer 2

No honey, meat, dairy, eggs, gelatin, animal glycerin, and stuff like that.

Answer 3

No eggs, milk, honey, etc. Vegans eat nothing that comes from an animal.

Animal testing is totally up to you. Nothing is a "must." Being Vegan is a choice. To be considered Vegan, though, the whole "using nothing tested on an animal" is up to you. Keep in mind a lot of life-saving medicines were tested on animals.

Answer 4

diet ways a strict vegetarian is the same as a vegan but vegans cant ware leather, silk or wool etc

Answer 5

As well as the diet there is the whole question of avoiding animal exploitation of any kind

This includes avoiding wearing clothes of silk, wool, leather, using products such as fat-based candles, soaps, cosmetics etc

Many veggies also make these choices to some degree.

Answer 6

Vegans do not eat any animals byproducts: milk, eggs, honey, many chemicals. They dont use any animal byproducts: leather, wool. They also dont use any products tested on animals.

Many vegans, although it is not a requirement, eat all natural and organic food.

Answer 7

A strict vegetarian is not a vegan. A strict vegetarian has the same diet as a vegan but not the "lifestyle" of not using any animal products.

Answer 8

Jen is absolutely right. Vegans also usually try to avoid animal by-products in everything they purchase, which means they won't be buying leather jackets or shoes.  Those who become vegan for ethical reasons will also generally avoid products tested on animals.

As far as the diet is concerned, vegans don't eat meat, milk, eggs, or honey.  This includes whey, which is found in a lot of bread, and certain kinds of mono and diglycerides, which are found in a lot of foods, certain kinds of breads included. Mono and diglycerides can also come from vegetable sources, though, so it's best to do research.
