Vegetarians & Vegans

Vegetarianism is the controlled abstinence from eating meat. Vegetarians desist from eating meat for various reasons, including religious, health, and ethical ones. Lacto-ovo vegetarians nutrition their diet with dairy (lactose) products and eggs (ovo). Vegans (pronounced vee-guns) do not consume any animal-derived products at all. Motivations vary and include ethics (both refusal to kill animals and abhorrence of modern techniques of raising animals for meat), self-denial or religious taboo, ecology (including concern about the wastefulness and environmental costs of beef farming), and health. Vegetarians point to the many health benefits of their nutrition, including low rates of heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, and obesity.

Vegan diets include only plant foods and leave out all poultry, meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, and honey. Although many poor peasant agriculturalist populations have diets based on plant foods with only miniature amounts of animal food, there are no customary societies which pursue a completely vegan diet.
