To sum up, Veganism is a philosophy and compassionate lifestyle whose adherents seek to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. Vegans endeavor not to use or consume animal products of any kind. Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes meat (including fish, shellfish and other sea animals; and poultry). There are several variants of the diet, some of which also exclude eggs.
