Vegetarian is a dietary choice and vegan is a lifestyle choice true or false?

True,but vegetarianism CAN be part of someone's lifestyle,but vegetarian mainly implies to diet.Veganism is a lifestyle choice and philosophy.Vegetarian is a dietary choice and vegan is a lifestyle choice true or false?
Untrue. Both should be dietary choices.Vegetarian is a dietary choice and vegan is a lifestyle choice true or false?
I would have to say, false.


While vegetarians aren't as far down the path as vegans, many, if not most, vegetarians make their decision based on moral beliefs.





Also, becoming a vegetarian is not as simple as simply not eating meat. Most vegetarians face a lot of adversity for their decisions, and vegetarians have a lot to learn about all the foods that hide dead animal bodies, and they certainly have to do a lot of label checking.





As vegetarians gain more knowledge, they often drop more from their diets and their wardrobes. There are some vegetarians who are so because they feel it is a diet, just as some vegans are so because they feel veganism is a good diet, but I think most do what they do based on a belief on how they want to (or don't want to) live their lives and therefore are living a particular lifestyle.





Diets are something people cheat on, vegetarianism/ veganism are how people decide to live.
I def. think it can be both. I have met a couple of vegans who practice it for the dietary aspect. They really are not interested in the whole animal rights campaign. I am not sure if that fits the original model of veganism, but by defination they practice it.
I think vegetarianism is a lifestyle to a degree, but veganism is definitely a lifestyle and a philosophy. Every day, there are things I do that are determined by my veganism (for example I didn't buy a very nice looking rug from Ikea last week because it was made from wool).


You have to do many, many different things like protect your child at a children's party when they bring out the dairy ice-cream and you ensure he gets his non-dairy ice-cream at exactly the same time so he doesn't stand out which is vitally important.


Another example is donating clothes to a charity shop but it is not any old charity shop. If it is a medical-based charity shop then it has to be one that does not fund animal testing.


These are just 2 of many examples.
True. You are not born a vegetarian unless your parents are or you start beleiving in that life style.
False!


Everything you do is a Lifestyle choice, a ';Dietary Choice'; is a ';Lifestyle Choice.';
false...both are a lifestyle choice
More or less that is true. I do think that veganism(in the US, UK and Europe) more often than not has features of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder).





Veganism is more authentic in other cultures because it is an integral part of a spiritual practice. In Europe, UK, and US it is merely a political agenda and lifestyle for crazies.








Both vegetarianism and veganism are falling by the wayside and the ranks of the Flexitarian Vegan and Flexitarian Vegetarian are growing.





Simply Google, ';Flexitarian Diet'; for more information about this new global trend.
Could be, yes.





But many veggies also abstain from using leather, silk etc. So thats lifestyle too.





For me, my vegetarinism is a moral lifestyle choice.





By definition though, you are right.





Some people troll this forum for a joke, don't know why but whever floats thier boat, thats up to them. but the ones who post answers presented as serious with mis-information they are fully aware of should really be ashamed of themselves. Whatever it is they are trying to make up for, it must be a pretty big hole in thier life.
False, both are lifestyle and dietary choices.
Depends on if you consider ';dietary choice'; to be part of a ';lifestyle choice.';





It's purely subjective.





Since your question is put in black and white terms, I would have to say ';false.';





My wife is Hindu and being vegetarian is more than a diet to a devout Hindu. Hinduism has been around for thousands of years before somebody coined the word ';vegan.';





Vegetarianism is part of the Hindu/Buddhist/Jain concept of Ahimsa or non-violence. It would be very misinformed to say it is a diet and not a lifestyle choice.
This is true.





There are no vegans here in V %26amp; V because they only adhere to the lifestyle as far as convenience will allow and abandon the rest. They ignore the obvious non-vegan things they do and consume and then still refer to themselves as vegans. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk. They'll do the easy stuff but anything disruptive or involving an ounce of self-sacrifice is too much for them. The average U.S. vegan's effort is simply not eating meat and driving and shopping at the ';vegan'; store instead of the one the rest of us shop at while completely ignoring that rendered animal parts are used in the vehicles they drove to the store in and the road they drove on.





So for them, ';vegan'; is just a status symbol as opposed to a passion, but they'll not admit that here.
I'm i'm forced to be vegan, i hate it. It's for my health. So no, not really.
There is no one answer for this. Each person makes their own decisions in life and some choose to live a no death lifestyle and some choose to live a fully-humane lifestyle. Others choose to not eat meat for health reasons only and some choose to do it for ethical reasons. There are so many reasons that people choose to eat the way they eat or to purchase products they way they do and it's all a matter of what that individual is aware of, their ethics, morals, what they are willing to sacrifice, and what their goals are. No two people are alike and no two vegetarians or vegans are alike.
True to a point..





Vegan can also be a dietary choice.. I know LOTS of ';vegans'; who aren't vegan in the ';lifestyle'; way most people think of, but they eat no meat, milk, or eggs.. You can say they follow a vegan DIET.. But most diehard vegans wouldn't consider them vegan. They even do eat honey (Because they follow this diet for their health.. Meat, milk, eggs all are not very good for us, but healthwise, there's nothing wrong with honey)...
Mike H.---How moral a choice is it for you if you grow hay and sell it to people who fatten cattle and then slaughter them? You never seem to respond to this fact.





It's kind of like selling gas to the Nazi's who gassed the Jews and then saying ';I didn't have anything to do with the Holocaust';, don't you think?





Both can be lifestyles as well as dietary choices.
true. being a vegetarian means you dont eat meat a choice of diet being a vegan means not eating meat, dairy, or eggs and not wearing/using anything tested on animals etc.
