Whats the difference in a vegan and a vegetarian?

Question

if there is one.

Answer 1

EXPLOSiO,

I've bungee jumped, skydived, rock climbed, played guitar and sung to audiences. I've been both an actor and writer in my own play, and those of other people. I've travelled all around the world, and have friends from every continent. And I'm now studying for my third degree,too.

So I personally don't believe my life is boring, and I'm not sure other people would either. And I'm a long term vegan :)

Answer 2

This is something kind of comical that I heard about Vegan.

If it has parents, and was born or hatched, has a mouth or beak, they don't eat it.

I have only really known of, one person that has said that they were a vegan, so this is not something that I am speaking from experience about.  With that said, it takes a lot of discipline obviously so, I admire anyone that can committ to that kind of lifestyle.

Answer 3

Vegetarian able to obtain vitamin B12 from egg and milk.

Vegan does not consume egg and milk, so vegan needs to eat foods fortified with vitamin B12 or take B12 supplements.

Answer 4

vegans are more strick. they can't have anything that has been from an animal. example no milk, no eggs, no diary at all. vegetarians can eat anything as long as an animal was not harmed or killed. so you can have milk, eggs, cheese, ect.i really hoped this helped.  

Answer 5

Vegetarians don't meat.

Vegans eat no meat or anything produced by animals  

Answer 6

there is no difference.....neither one of them eat meat.  

Answer 7

Vegetarians eat/drink dairy and eggs.  Vegans don't eat meat, dairy, eggs, sugar, honey, seafood, chocolate...

Answer 8

EXPLOSiO,

Boring lives?  No.  Healthier, more moral and ethical lives?  YES x a billion.

And eating animals that have been tortured and slaughtered, kept in extremely inhumane conditions, torn from their mothers and young, and exploited for nothing more than human pleasure DOES NOT excite me.  If it excites you...well, that's a problem in and of itself.  

Answer 9

Good question! uh Vegans are even MORE strict than vegetarians. Vegetarians pretty much only eliminate meat.

Vegans eliminate meat AND dairy. Eating only raw plant foods like fruit, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds.

What do they both have in common? Boring lifes.

Lacto-Ova-Vegetarians: Shun Meat fish. Eat eggs, plant foods, and dairy products

Jains: Lacto vegetarians who also shun root vegetables

Bengal Hindu Vegetarians: Lacto vegetarians who eat fish

Answer 14

Vegetarians don't eat any meat like hamburgers, chicken, fish, etc. But they do eat milk, eggs, cheese and dairy products like that.

Vegans also do not eat meat.  They don't eat any dairy products or any food that contains a product from an animal.  So pretty much they eat fruits and vegetables. Vegans also will not wear or buy products that are made from animals like a leather jacket, or a car with leather seats.  I'm pretty sure they don't use things that are tested on animals either.  

Answer 15

whichever vegetarian is eating fish is not a vegetarian... fish is an animal not a plant u idiots

Answer 16

Vegetarians don't eat dead animals but may choose to eat foods from living animals.

Vegans don't eat, use, wear, purchase or otherwise consume anything of animal origin whatsoever, to the extent that this is possible.

(Also, there is a search function.  If you use it, you'll see that this question has been asked and answered like hundreds of times, probably even today.)

Answer 17

etari, which backwards is "irate".  Just an observation.

Answer 18

There are alot of types of vegetarian.

The most extreme type is vegan which means they eat no dairy products.

The next type is lacto-vegan. Which means no meat, including chicken and fish.

Next would be the people who call them selves vegetarian but eat chicken and fish.

Then there are people who sometimes eat any meat... when they feel like it, they don't really count.
