watz the difference between vegatarians and vegans &can vegatarians eat cookies and bread or just vegatables?

Answer 1

A Vegetarian is someone who does not eat meat.
But there are different kinds of vegetarians.

Vegan is the strictest form of vegetarianism. They eat a plant based diet. They do not eat ANY animal foods or animal products ( including poultry, seafood, fish, red meat, milk, cheese, eggs.)
They also do not use any animal products like leather, fur, suede, ect. As well as any product with animal ingredients such as animal fat or gelatin. Or anything that is animal tested.

Ovo- Lacto Vegetarians do not eat meat, but do eat eggs (ovo) and milk/ dairy (lacto)as well as other animal products

And then you have some people that consider themselves "vegetarians", and still eat poultry and fish, excluding red meat.

So the answer to your second question: Can vegetarians eat cookies and bread? is yes. Ovo- Lacto Vegetarians eat cookies and bread. Vegans don't eat them unless they are made without eggs or dairy (and some vegans don't eat bread because of the yeast).
I've been a vegan for 5 years.

Answer 2

there are varying degrees of vegetarian. However, vegans, from what I am told do not eat anything that used to be living or came from anything that was/is living. So, that's vegan. They mostly eat grains, although some do eat beans, vegetables, and fruits however, some others do not because veggies/fruit, beans, nuts come from living plants.
Me, I'm in the category called ovo-lacto (ovo=eggs/lacto-dairy, milk) so, I do eat actual dairy products, products made with eggs, and occasionally I also eat fish along with the fruit and veggies, etcetera, and a daily vitamin.
Still other people would not allow themselves to eat fish or eggs, but they do have dairy. Others eat none of the above but still eat everything else I already mentioned.
Even tho' I've said this I would not call myself a seriously healthy eater; On occasion, (when I have extra money) I still eat french fries, tho i order a soy burger or bean burrito, even tho it probably is grilled on the same grill as regular burgers. So, I make a trade-off sometimes and I try and eat extra fruit the next day.
I used to eat everything, but a university class changed my views on animals which is why I began eating this way.
I hope you get some more information if you are considering changing the way you eat and what you eat. There are all sorts of "meat- alternatives" out there on the market now. although some people will say, "if you aren't going to eat the real thing then why pay extra money for something that resembles what you don't eat?" And my reply is, "for variety at dinner". Thanks for asking :)

Answer 3

I only eat cookies and cakes I make myself so I can omit the animal ingredients. Also Most bread unless otherwise specified is just flour, water, yeast, salt and some oil. If it's cheese bread or some special kind of bread it may have eggs or dairy in it

Answer 4

A Genaral vegitarian is a few one that does no longer eat meat yet different animal products. Vegans on the different hand, will eat no longer something that comes from an animal Like milk or eggs. undemanding as that! so Vegitarian= No meat yet different animal products ( milk, eggs, cheese different stuff) Vegan= someone-friendly nutrition regimen of nuts, vegtibles,culmination and no animal products no longer alongside with milk, eggs or cheese

Answer 5

Vegetarians eat dairy and/or eggs. Vegans avoid all animal products including honey and leather.

Yes, vegetarians can eat cookies and bread, as well as vegetables, but this isn't a balanced diet. You should include legumes as well.

Answer 6

Vegetarians eat all sorts of grains, nuts, legumes, veggies, fruits, soy products etc. I make vegetarian versions of lots of things using substitutes. Things like:

Tacos
Sloppy Joes
Stir fry
Lasagna
Veggie Pot pie
Stew
Casseroles
Sandwiches
Rice dishes
Asian noodles with peanut sauce
Pasta salad
....and tons more.

I eat bread (whole wheat) and some cookies that are vegetarian friendly.

Answer 7

Vegetarians (specifically ovo-lacto vegetarians) typically avoid animal products whose production results in the death of the animal. For example, meat (including fish, poultry and mammals), gelatin, cochineal extract, cheese made with rennet, leather, fur.

Vegans typically avoid all animal products, of any sort. In addition to the things ovo-lacto vegetarians avoid, they also avoid eggs, milk, cheese, honey, wool, lanolin, and sometimes even cocoa and sugar (which may use bone charcoal in their manufacture.

Of course, there are gradations within each of these categories, and no two vegetarians are alike!

Answer 8

For simplicity, the difference between vegetarians and vegans is that while vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, or poultry, vegans neither eat nor use the products of any animal.

Pumpkin Cookies

·2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
·1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
·1 teaspoon baking soda
·2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
·½ tsp each: ground ginger, cloves, and nutmeg
·½ tsp salt
·½ cup margarine, softened
·1 ½ cups white sugar
·1 cup pumpkin puree (cooked or canned)
·1 portion egg substitute
·1 tsp vanilla extract
·1+ cups raisins, dried cranberries, and/or chocolate chips
·1-2 tablespoons soy milk (if necessary)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt; set aside.

In a medium bowl, cream together the ½ cup of margarine and white sugar.

Add pumpkin, egg substitute, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to butter mixture, and beat until creamy.

Mix in dry ingredients. Add splash of soy milk if needed--but batter should be rather stiff.

Fold in raisins, cranberries, and/or chocolate chips.

Drop on cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls; flatten slightly.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.



Donald Watson is said to have coined the term 'vegan' in 1944. He doesn't specifically address the difference between vegetarians and vegans, but he explains veganism this way:



"Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence for life. It applies to the practice of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey, animal milk and its derivatives, and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived wholly or in part from animals."



That is that and all that we care about regarding the difference between vegetarians and vegans. Now, whether an individual who chooses to be a vegetarianor vegandoes so because of a belief system or a health issue does not concern us. Our interest is apolitical and revolves around healthy eating and the associated methods and interesting facts we find along the way. If we gather a great vegan recipe, great! If we only find a vegetarian recipe for a great meal, so be it!



The various health associations, like the American Dietetic Association, have acknowledged that a totally meatless and animal productless diet can fulfill the human requirements for a healthy diet. Regardless of the difference between vegetarians and vegans, all that remains is figuring out how to do this on terms that are manageable in the normal hectic day with which most of us must contend.



The Vegetarian Food Pyramid is a good starting point. We have included foods that do not conform to the difference between vegetarians and vegans, but have starred* those which, for vegans, are not an option:



Level 1: Oils = 2-3 tsp

Level 2: Nuts and Seeds = 1-2 oz

Level 3a: Milk*and its products = 3 servings

Level 3b: Protein Foods = 2-3 servings (beans, legumes, eggs*, tofu, tempeh)

Level 4a: Leafy Greens = 2-3 servings (lettuce, kale, spinach, Swiss chard, mustard)

Level 4b: Other Vegetables = 2-4 servings

Level 4c: Fruit = 2-4 servings (juice, fresh fruit, dried fruit)

Level 5: Whole Grains = 6-11 servings (bread, cereal, oatmeal, pasta, rice, crackers)

Regardless of the difference between vegetarians and vegans, here's to good and healthy eating!

10 tablespoons vegan margarine (room temp-soft)
1/2 cup vegan sugar
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
vegan egg substitute, enough to equal one egg
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegan sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon



Cream vegan margarine and vegan sugar. Add egg substitute, enough to equal one regular egg, vanilla, and almond extract.
Add dry ingredients and mix well except for the 2 tbls of sugar and 2 tbls of cinnamon. Combine these two ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Form balls and roll in sugar and cinnamon.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 F for about 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden.
