Definitions: A vegetarian eats no animal flesh, whether mammal, fowl or fish. A vegan eats no animal flesh and no animal products, such as dairy or eggs. Many people are choosing this way of eating - or at least reducing their flesh consumption - for reasons of health, the environment, animal welfare and reduction in world hunger.
