Vegan, Vegetarian or Flexitarian?

Vegans are those who eat plant products only. No products derived from animals, meat, eggs, dairy, honey, fur or leather.

Becoming a Vegan is very challenging.

If its overwhelming becoming a VEGAN, here are some groovy choices to start with:

Vegetarians eat mostly plant products. A lacto-vegetarian include plant foods + dairy. A lacto-ovo vegetarian include dairy + eggs. A Vegetarian who will eat fish is called pescevegetarian or piscetarian, but consume no red meat, chicken or pork.

Flexitarians are those who eat a mostly vegetarian diet, but occasionally eat meat.
