What is the difference between a vegan and a vegetarian lifestyle?
assistant
The primary difference between a vegan and a vegetarian lifestyle is that vegans eliminate animal products such as meat, dairy, eggs, and honey from their diet, while vegetarians typically avoid all forms of animal flesh but may occasionally consume eggs and dairy products. Vegans also choose to avoid animal-derived ingredients such as gelatin, lanolin, and honey, as well as products tested on animals or made with animal by-products. Additionally, many vegans choose to avoid buying leather, fur, and products tested on animals, whereas vegetarians do not necessarily have these restrictions.
