They're not from "Vega", are they?
And, do women "vegans" have "veganas"?

Ok, so why do people call themselves "vegans"? It doesn't make any sense.

there are, in fact, EIGHT forms af vegetarianism. pollo, pesco, pollo-pesco, ovo, lacto, lacto-ovo, vegan, and raw.
"vegetarian" is a general term.
"vegan" is a type of vegetarian, specifically, one who eats only plant products.

Well vegetarians and vegans are two different things. Vegetarians refrain from eating meat, but still eat meat products like milk, eggs, cheese, etc. While Vegans refrain from eating any meat and animal products. A vegetarian is sometimes a vegan but all vegans are vegetarians.

Vegetarian and Vegan aren't quite the same thing. Vegetarians just don't eat meat, vegans don't eat anything derived from an animal - such as milk or cheese. So they're not quite the same.

Vegans are a more serious form of vegetarians. Some vegetarians eat chicken, fish, eggs. Many vegans won't even eat dairy products. I guess they think unless you are a Vegan you are a veggie Poser.

Vegans and vegetarians are actually different. Vegans do not eat or use and animal products. Vegetarians usually just don't eat animal products.

A vegetarian is someone who does not eat animals (chicken, steak pork).
A vegan is someone who does not eat animals or animal products (eggs, cheese).
Not all vegetarians are vegans, but all vegans are vegetarians.
And your puns are pretty funny!

there is a difference between vegetarians and vegans. vegans are people who eat no animal or dairy products at all, whereas vegetarians eat fruits and grains and nuts and don't eat meat or fish, however they do dairy. vegans are more strict.
