Veganism (also known as strict vegetarianism or pure vegetarianism) is a philosophy and lifestyle that avoids using animals and animal products for food, clothing and other purposes. In practice, a vegan (an adherent of veganism) commits to the abstention from consumption or use of animal products, including meat, fish, and poultry, animal gelatin, honey, eggs and dairy products, as well as articles made of silk, fur, wool, bone, leather, feathers, pearls, nacre, coral, sponges and other materials of animal origin. Vegans also avoid products that have been tested on animals. People become vegans for a variety of reasons, including ethical concerns for animal rights or the environment, as well as more personal reasons such as perceived health benefits and spiritual or religious concerns

A little bit late I read all the answer and all have a little bit right but the most is illusion and lost understanding. The Vegetarian can mix a lot with animal or daily product's the Vegan not! The true Vegan eat all plant production and/or fruit's raw, but self the Vegan's change this a little bit. All the Vegetarian and Vegan's can be fetishistic or not, that mean it is every body's own imagination and all have nothing with religion to do. If you research in nutrition and healthy, in what way the fast food is product and the veggie canning with all the chemo than you wood eat nothing, but someone in this world you have to eat, and here is the point: can you be an Vegan than good, if an Vegetarian than that is good; better more green food and less food product's with face.

Vegan is when you do not eat any thing that has a face. This also means that you don't eat anything that comes from animals like eggs, milk, cheese,and other things. I hoped this helped you a bit.

Hard question.
Vegans or vegetarians consume vegetables for food, some more strictly than others. Some vegans will allow dairy products, such as milk and cheese. Some allow eggs others fish, but most avoid meat

Veganism is a strict form of vegetarianism, in which people don't eat any animal products at all (i.e., no eggs or dairy, in addition to no meat, poultry or fish). Some vegans are so opposed to using animal products that they won't wear leather shoes or clothing either.

not much of anything in this society. .it's hard to be a vegan logically.
www.vegan.com
but if you want to do it for the animals.. that is as best as you can...
there are many sites online.. key it up in google.. that'll help you try to work things out about the vegan scene.
if you wish to become one.. it's a task.. and it's hard because society in the consumer part.. makes it hard.. vegan alternatives are there.. sort of.. but it takes alot of investigation, intellect and understanding.
:D
