    Do people confuse Veganism and Vegetarianism?

    I have decided to become a vegetarian.

    I have been looking on websites for tips on the lifestyle, meat substitutes, and such, and it seems that many of the tips on vegetarianism reflect a vegan lifestyle.

    While I won't eat dairy or eggs obsessively, I want to incorporate them in moderate amounts.. I thought I would find out more about the use of eggs and cheese in meals, but most of the writers concentrate on soy (which causes me health problems) and nuts, more like a vegan would.

    Any vegetarians or vegans who want to weigh in on this?

    I don't think so that we would confuse Veganism with vegetarianism. Vegans refuse to use anything what involves animal products in any way; it  includes animal testing too. Vegans won't consume, among others, milk and its products, honey, and eggs. Vegetarians just don't eat meat.

    There are many sorts of vegetarians like, ovo-vegetarians (no milk), lacto-vegetarians (no eggs), and so far and so on.

    I am, for example, a semi-vegetarian because I eat fish. :-)

      I love fish too. I am going to miss it. But I do love vegetables, so now I get to concentrate on those a lot smile

      Yes, vegetables are absolutely OK! :-)   I could live without fish, though.
