  Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0 Re: 10 Steps to Going Vegetarian and other tips | |
I was strictly vegan for about 4 years. It's kind of complicated why I'm not any more, and I don't want to get this thread off-topic. But I just wanted to say, there was a time when I didn't even know what a vegan was, and I'm sure there must be others who aren't clear on what veganism is either.
Vegans eat no animals or animal byproducts whatsoever. When you're a strict vegan, that means no meat, dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin, or refined sugar made with bone char. Which means a lot of label-reading, and confusing the hec out of waiters at restaurants making special orders and such. But if you don't mind all that, I say go for it. I think being vegan is wonderful if you are willing to put in the time and self-discipline that it takes.
Most vegetarians are lacto-ovo, which means they don't eat meat, but do consume eggs and dairy.
Just wanted to clarify for people that weren't sure of the difference. |
