veganism: I'm doing research about vegetarianism for a workshop at the local community centre and I need more information about this lifestyle. I'd also like to know what veganism is and how it differs from vegetarianism. A few website resources would be great!|||Vegetarians don't eat meat. Vegans don't eat meat and don't bother to bathe.|||Use the Yahoo search engine and just type in vegan. You will find everything you want to know.|||Pure vegans, as mentioned, have nothing to do with animal products. Vegetarians don't eat meat, but will eat dairy, eggs, things that didn't require harm to the animal to get. A few will eat fish, but then their choice of food is more for health reasons than philosophy. I understand vegetarians, but true vegans always seemed to me to be overdoing it. We have cows, they need to be milked. And we are omnivores, after all. I can understand being against anything requiring the slaughter of animals, but cheese and eggs? Nevertheless, that's their choice.|||Here are several links that should be helpful: lowcalories.blogspot.com intuitivefred888.blogspot.com indyhumes.blogspot.com gscookingblog.blogspot.com thephilosophycafe.blogspot.com lifeisbeautym.blogspot.com my-healthy-eating.blogspot.com adwin-kianhui.blogspot.com meadvilleveggie.blogspot.com slashmaraud.blogspot.com foodminds.blogspot.com callendamornen.blogspot.com kin-jay.blogspot.com mercurior.blogspot.com masanobutaniguchi.blogspot.com|||Vegetarians will eat products derived from animals; i.e. milk, eggs, etc...

No honey, because bees die making it. Beer is OK, even though yeast is actually micro animals who die making it. Vegetarians come in various shades. Some eat eggs and milk, some not. Some "vegetarians" eat a fish now and then because it's a "lower animal". Some will eat your turkey because it's polite or practical., but are strict at home.|||"Veganism may be defined as a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as possible and practical, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. In dietary terms it refers to the practice of dispensing with *all* animal products - including meat, fish, poultry, eggs, animal milks, honey, and their derivatives. Vegetarianism includes veganism and is defined as the practice of not eating meat, poultry or fish or their by-products, with or without the use of dairy products or eggs. Often broken down further into OVO-LACTO, and LACTO. Vegetarians may or may not try and minimize their non food use of animals like vegans. Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian: same as VEGAN (see right), but also eats eggs and milk products. This is the most 'popular' form of Vegetarianism in many Western countries.. Lacto Vegetarian: Same as VEGAN, but also eats milk products. Veggie -- Shortened nick-name for a VEGETARIAN; often includes VEGANs. Strict vegetarian: originally meant vegan, now can mean vegan or vegetarian."|||Vegans are higher on the retardation spectrum.
