“...Austin, a vegan, and Geoghegan, a vegetarian...”
What’s the difference in a “vegan” and a “vegetarian”???
The spelling???
A vegetarian won't eat meat.
A vegan won't eat any animal derived product, meat, milk, eggs, honey, etc.
A vegetarian will let everyone in earshot know that they are a vegetarian, virtue signalers extraordinaire. They especially like showing up at a dinner party for which someone has worked hard all day preparing, and informing everyone present that "they don't eat meat".
A vegan is exactly the same, except louder and even more obnoxious and persistent. Hard to believe, but even harder to bear. Vegans especially like virtue signaling to vegetarians; it's sort of like two religious cults slugging it out.
What’s the difference in a “vegan” and a “vegetarian”??
The Vegan is the more extremist of the two leftist lifestyles. They won’t even eat diary products or eggs.
Only a slight craziness level.
A vegetarian just doesn’t eat meat. A vegan won’t wear leather or use any type of animal products that might be found in cosmetics, etc.
Vegans are more hardcore. A vegetarian might consume animal byproducts like eggs or milk. Vegans are pure herbivores.
...Or so I understand.
