Vegan – somebody not eating animal products: somebody who does not eat meat, fish, dairy products, or eggs.
Vegetarian – somebody not eating meat or fish: somebody who eats vegetables, fruits, grains, seeds, and usually eggs and dairy products, but not meat or fish
Being a vegan/vegetarian during the holidays can be a great time to introduce your friends and family into how wonderfully rich and diverse and yet similar meat-free foods can be to the “mainstream” meals, but tread carefully my friend it can be a touchy subject!
