What's the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan?



Vegetarians do not eat the flesh of animals — meat or fish. Vegetarians may avoid these foods for humanitarian reasons or dietary ones. Vegans choose to neither eat nor use any animal-derived products — among them, meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, eggs, honey, gelatin, leather, fur, lanolin or silk. Theirs is a lifestyle choice founded on a reverence for the wellbeing of all living things. Vegans avoid eating or using anything that was produced through the pain or death of a living creature. November is World Vegan Month.
