Do you know anyone who practices vegetarianism, or abstaining from the consumption of meat?
I do not know any Vegans. I know it it involves abstaining from meat, eggs and dairy. Are you a Vegan?
No I am not. Vegetarianism may be adopted for various reasons, but it is different than vegan.
How does vegetarianism differ from that of being a vegan?
Vegans abstain from the use of animal products in addition to an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals.
So Vegans not only abstain from eating animal products, they are also opposed to the use of animals for any reason?
Yes! Exactly. My friend is a vegetarian though. She just abstains from meat eating.
