Is this a belief that it is wrong to eat meat or any items created by animals, or is it just that they do not like a nece egg salad or grilled cheese sandwich.?

Maybe Vegans are from the "reality" that animals are a form of God and they dont want to eat the offspring. Or they could just be wacky.. lol

I'm not sure if this is true for all vegans, but this is what my daughter & her friends (who were vegan) said:
It's not that the products come from animals. It's the conditions under which the animals are kept to obtain the animal-derived products. Due in large part to information obtained from PETA, the girls saw horrific conditions (i.e., overcrowded, highly unsanitary, etc.) the animals were forced to live in. Some of the literature included pictures of animals with gross deformities due to these conditions.
It's actually surprising to know how many ingredients are animal-based. Even more surprising is the knowledge of exactly what part of the animal those derivatives come from. That being said, I still eat meat, cheese, eggs, jello, Hohos . . .

The conditions that the laying hens and dairy cows have to suffer through to produce those products is not a justifiable reason for consuming them, given that I (and other humans can) receive any nutrients from them via plants and using five seconds in the morning to take a multivitamin. The desire to cook eggs or drink cow's milk instead of some fruit or soymilk is not an ethical justification for hurting or ending those animals' lives and any amount of enjoyment that they might have had in the future.
"Might" doesn't "make right." Society realized that slavery was a terrible course of action. Society realized that treating women like subhumans was a terrible course of action. Over the next century or two, society will realize that treating non-human animals like trash is a terrible course of action. Why? Because convenience and tradition are less important than ending the suffering of beings that can experience it.

most vegetarians drink milk and eat milk products. in fact there are two causes to be vegetarian.
1)meat is obtained by killing animals. its a cruelty towards animals.
2)eating meat too much causes some health problems and deposits a lot of fat.

YOU are wrong about that. Most vegetarians I have known do eat eggds and drink milk and eat cheese. Only a frew hard core risk living on an inadequate amino acid intake.

because when i stopped eating eggs and cheese and milk, i stopped getting sick all the time and so i don't want to eat it cuz i'll get sick. mostly all my family is vegan and we are super healthy and don't lack nutrients, God puts nutrients in plants, you don't need to eat something that has a face to be healthy. cows eat grass and they are just fine.
