Vegetarian in modern vernacular means you don’t eat meat products. A vegan is someone who doesn’t eat any animal products, and there are various degrees in between. I am a vegetarian due to a belief that factory farming is evil because of the treatment of the animals, and is rotten for the environment. Depleting the oceans of fish is also bad for the environment. I do eat animal products such as cheese, eggs and milk, although I do buy organic when possible, (in the case of eggs, free-range, non-factory farmed chicken eggs). If I were an Eskimo hunting in the wild, I would have no issue with eating an animal I killed, but in the United States, very few people have any idea how the meat on their table gets there, and I suspect most people would throw up if they knew. I recommend reading Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. It’s only worse now – not to mention that often it is illegal immigrants who are exploited to skin and kill animals, etc.
