What foods do I have to give up to become a vegan/vegetarian?

I’m not sure what the difference between the two is. Can someone tell me? Also, can someone tell me what I have to give up?

A vegatarian does not eat any meat, fish, poultry nor slaughter by-products

Vegans exclude any PRODUCT that is the result of animal expolitation, not just food

Those defintions are all you need. Adding things like “anything that had a face” or “something that had a mother” is complicating the definitions, there is no need, the above covers it.

Some vegatarians eat dairy and eggs, some don’t. Some veggies choose an ethical source for eggs but these sources are very few, things like “free range” or “organic” don’t prove anything ethically. There is no veggie-ethical source for milk.

Vegan exclude all animal products, things like milk, eggs, honey, wool, silk, leather etc

Many veggies also exclude some of these items. Leather is an example of something most vegetarians should exclude and its part of the reason a cow is killed.

I dont actually think you should find out what a veggie/vegan is and then follow those definitions. You should decide whats morally right for you, and if there happens to be a definition that fits your choice, use it. If not, don’t change your morals to suit a word.

Vegetarians DO NOT eat fish, its clear from any accepted defintion, see my profile if you want to check out the main defintions of a vegetarian.
