so if i am vegiterian am i allowed to wear like leather or is that against vegiterian.

Answer 1

Vegan: Does not eat/wear/use any animal products. This includes meat, eggs, milk, honey, leather, wool etc.

Vegetarian: Does not eat meat (including fish & chicken). But may eat eggs, milk & other animal products & may wear products like leather.

Someone who eats fish (but no other meat) is a pescetarian, someone who eats chicken (but no other meat) is a pollotarian.

A lacto-ovo vegetarian eats dairy products (lacto) & eggs (ovo). You can also have a lacto-vegetarian (does not eat eggs as well as not eating meat but eats dairy products). Or an ovo-vegetarian (does not eat dairy products as well as eating meat, but does eat eggs).

These definitions can intertwine & many vegetarian may not wear leather, sheep-skin, wool etc. & some vegans will wear these things (though VERY strictly, this shouldn't be classed as vegan).

Answer 2

Veganism is a lifestyle. No animal products, or products that harmed animals, not just in foods but in any products you purchase, use and wear.

Vegetarianism is in terms of dietary. A total vegetarian eats no animal products. A lacto-vegetarian will consume dairy.

Both also do their best of effort to eat a well balanced diet including many healthy foods such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes and nuts. A person who eats no meat but lives off of french fries, candy bars, and crackers, for instance, would not be a vegetarian, they would just be following an ill crafted diet.

Becoming a vegetarian does take effort and devotion. There are hidden animal products in many foods: lard, sodium casenate and gelatin are a few examples of ingredients which may seem harmless but are actually derived from animal products. It takes a good deal of devotion and research to read up and understand what is and what isn't derived from animals in the common foods you may eat.

Answer 3

Everyone has their own reasons for becoming vegetarian. I can't think of any reason why you would be harming the earth by choosing to not eat meat. If anything you are only helping the earth. Less slaughter houses, less animals by-product, and more plants being grown to feed more people. In case no one has noticed plants and vegetables are GOOD for the planet. Since you have already stopped eating red meat and are used to it, seeing a doctor isn't necessary. But you may want to let him/her know that you are planning on going vegetarian. No need for a special appointment. Just bring it up at your next check up. To stay healthy just make sure you eat a wide range of veggies, fruits, and proteins. Eggs and nuts are great sources of protein and so are beans. Almost all grocery stores have a health food section. So finding good food shouldn't be an issue. But you can make almost any meal vegetarian. If you want some great recipes here's a link. And thank you for helping to make our world a better place. If you need more info e-mail me.

If your not sure, just look at your diest, if you eat any meat tghen you are not vegetarian. Vegetarians do not eat meat at all, vegans do not eat meat, eggs, dairy, geletan, or touch anything that has to do with animals such as furs and leathers, ect.

Answer 6

Vegetarians worry about what goes IN them, not ON them. We eat fruits, veggies, mushrooms, and some are okay with milk, eggs, and cheese.

Vegans are not cool with the milk, eggs, and cheese. They're also usually more environmentally aware than the rest of us, sometimes to the point of being obnoxious.

Answer 7

Vegan means absolutely no meat, fish, or dairy - no eggs, cheese, or milk. The entire diet is plant-based. Vegan is a much more strict diet, and it's much harder to get protein and vitamins.
Vegetarians may be meatless, or meat and fishless, but they usually allow dairy.

Answer 8

well there are many types of vegetarians, so technically you can do whatever you want. personally i think using animal products like fur and leather for your clothing is wrong since we have TONS of other materials we can use. still, at least you aren't eating meat. there are lacto-ovo vegetarians who still eat dairy and eggs but no meat, lacto-vegetarians who still eat dairy and ovo-vegetarians who eat no meat or dairy but still eggs. vegans do not use or eat ANY animal products. and there are also vegetarians who still eat fish (which i disagree with, but whatever).

Answer 9

Vegans omit all animal products as well- no eggs, etc. Also, they don't wear stuff like leather.

Answer 10

vegetarians of course eat no meat
a vegan eats nothing that deals with animals..no dairy, no eggs, or anything with animal by products such as gelatin's, animal oils etc.
