Vegetarianism is a life-style choice to forgo the consumption meat. People may implement this to varying degrees. Some vegetarians are more 'strict' than others.

Reasons for vegetarianism include:

  • moral reasons (animal welfare) - sometimes rejecting all meat-eating, sometimes rejecting the cruelty of modern farming practices.
  • environmental reasons - the greater resource use required to produce meat in many cases; depletion of fishing stocks.
  • personal health - some people have conditions that are made worse by the eating of some kinds of meat.

Many vegetarians will still eat eggs and/or dairy, sometimes restricting these to free-range or organic products. (Organic certification often includes a greater emphasis on animal welfare than conventional factory farming). Vegans eat no animal products.

A vegan is a particular adherent to a stringent vegetarianism, where even animal derived products, including dairy and eggs are not consumed. Some even go so far as to avoid all animal products, not just food: leathers, furs, feathers, bone, etc.
