Is a vegan diet healthier than eating meat and dairy? - BBC REEL

 
 The main difference between a vegan and a vegetarian

 The main difference between a vegan and a vegetarian lies in what they choose to exclude from their diet:

Vegetarians:

  • Do not eat meat, poultry, or fish. This includes things like chicken, beef, pork, lamb, tuna, and salmon.
  • May or may not eat dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt) and eggs. There are different types of vegetarians based on this distinction:
    • Lacto-vegetarians: Include dairy but not eggs.
    • Ovo-vegetarians: Include eggs but not dairy.
    • Lacto-ovo vegetarians: Include both dairy and eggs.
    • Pescatarians: Include fish and seafood but not other meat.

Vegans:

  • Exclude all animal products from their diet. This includes meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and even honey.
  • Their lifestyle often extends beyond food to avoid animal-derived materials like leather, wool, and silk.

So, vegans are a stricter type of vegetarian who exclude all animal products, while vegetarians have various subtypes that may include some animal products like dairy or eggs.

Here's a table summarizing the key differences:
