answer:Vegetarians generally don’t eat any kind of meat, but many will continue to eat eggs and milk. There are different “levels” of vegetarianism. That being said, there are different levels of veganism, as well, but the general idea is to eliminate all animal-based products from one’s life. Vegans won’t consume meat, milk, eggs, cheese, etc. Some go a step further and eliminate anything containing gelatin or honey, and they often won’t buy anything that’s made with animal-based glues or leather, and often animal-tested products (or anything made by companies that test on animals) are out as well. I have quite a few vegetarian and vegan friends, and for some, it takes a lot of vigilance to maintain their diet, especially when eating out.
