Answer 2

Any kind of vegetarianism can be a philosophical idea more than a diet. It depends on the person and his or her own reasoning.

I am "lacto vegetarian" largely because I was influenced by the concept of Ahimsa (Sanskrit for "non-violence"). This comes from Hindu, Jain and Buddhist religion and goes back thousands of years. Just put "ahimsa" on a search engine and you'll find information about it.

I don't consider myself vegan but I share some of the same ideas. To me, veganism is a variation of the Ahimsa concept that is not necessarily tied to a religious framework.

Answer 3

I am a vegan. When I was at a family event, and some family members didn't understand what veganism was, my mom called it "extreme vegetarianism." Veganism is merely starts with vegetarianism and follows it through to its natural conclusion. I eat no animal flesh, but I also avoid dairy and eggs and other animal ingredients. How can it NOT be a form of vegetarianism.

Answer 4

It is a more strict type of vegetarianism where anything that comes from an animal (such as milk products, and eggs) are off limits. There's a lot of info about both veganism and vegetarianism on peta.org

Answer 5

Veganism is a type of vegetarian, as is ovo-lacto(eats eggs and drinks milk), fruititarian, raw, and pescatarian(? Some controversy). Vegetarianism is like literature: there are many subjects and genres, while vegetarianism contains many sub-diets.

I am not going to scan through the Internet for a source if you are not willing to.

Vegans are vegetarians...very strict ones at that. It's common sense.

Answer 7

Types of Vegetarians

One thing that many people don't realize or understand is that there are different types of vegetarians. Each individual vegetarian has his or her own personal reasons for choosing their diet, and these reasons determine exactly what foods they eliminate. Below is just a brief definition of each type of vegetarian.
Total Vegetarians eat only plant food. They do not eat any animal foods, including fish, eggs, dairy products, and honey.
Vegans not only omit all animal products from their diets, but they also eliminate them from the rest of their life. Vegans use nothing from animals, such as leather, wool, and silk.
Lacto-Vegetarians will include dairy products into their diet of plant food.
Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarians eat both eggs and dairy products.
Pesco-Vegetarians include fish into their diets.
Pollo-Vegetarians eat poultry, such as chicken, turkey, and duck.

Answer 8

Yes, I believe it is a type of vegetarianism.

Answer 9

Vegan is a lifestyle. They will use/consume no products that result from the exploitation of animals. Anyone actually being a vegan is a myth. There is no way in modern society to be an actual vegan. Products from animal rendering plants are used to fertilize the crops and are used in various parts of all of our vehicles, including bicycles, and many of the roads themselves.

http://www.api4animals.org/articles?p=378&more=1

Not only is rendered animal fertilizer used on "organic" veges but captive slave colonies of bees are used to pollinate the plants. The hives are moved from place to place depending on what crop needs pollination. This is the same exploitation that makes "vegans" claim that eating honey is exploitation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollination_management

So, if you don't grow your own veges, if you own or ride in a vehicle, or even step foot on many roads, you aren't "vegan".

People that call themselves "vegan" are not true vegans. They are somewhere between vegetarian and true vegan.

I commend them for their efforts of course. They are trying. But it's just not an attainable goal.

Answer 10
