Vegetarian being vegetarian and eating eggs Sep 27 2008

I agree with both above comments. I have been a vegetarian for 15 years and during the last 5 i was vegan. During the time i was vegetarian i ate animal products including milk, honey, and eggs because they were simple by products and you dont have to kill the animal in order to retirve them. for caviar, i'd assume it kills the fish in order to retrieve the eggs. So, its a little different. Also the fact the chickens lay eggs and dont have to be manually pressed out of them, it is alot more humane. Same as fish oil. the Fish oil is extracted from a dead fish fats, it doesnt just release them for us to use.

Vegans dont eat any anlmals or their products. some don't even eat yeast which makes choosing your bread a bit more complicated. I was not that extreme of a vegan.

Both diets can be extreemly beneficial for your health, but make sure if you educate yourself on the proper nutrition needed in order to get all your vitamins from these diets. You cant just eat cheese pizza everyday and be a healthy vegetarian.
