More people around the world are changing their eating habits these days. Vegan and vegetarian diets are becoming popular for health and environmental reasons.

Let’s look at the differences between the two.

Vegan

Vegans do not eat animal products, like meat, fish, eggs, and milk. Instead, they usually eat vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, and grains.

Many people choose a vegan diet because they want to protect animals and the environment. Some studies also say plant-based diets can help people stay healthy.

Vegetarian

Vegetarians do not eat meat or fish, but many still eat eggs, milk, and cheese. There are different kinds of vegetarian diets around the world.

Some people become vegetarians for religious or cultural reasons. Others choose this diet because they want healthier eating habits and a simpler lifestyle.
