Vegetarians and Vegans

[MULTIZ321]

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.

I don't know the name for it, but I'm a vegetarian that eats seafood. I haven't eaten beef, pork, poultry, etc. for more than 30 years.

As Theresa points out, you and my 17 year old daughter are Pescetarianians, whereas I am a meat eating Methodist!

NOTE -- I don't actually believe in eating Koala. But Toucan Soup is pretty good. And I thought this might give someone a chuckle:

BTW - I do not have a problem with other people eating animals. In fact, I cook meat for the 3 carnivores in my family!

I grew up on a farm where we raised out own meat - after taking care of an animal, and then seeing it shot and butchered, there was no way I could eat it - it completely turned me off to eating meat.

My empathy does not extend to shellfish!
