This question was asked and this was the best answer:\ndepends here is an indepth breakdown of who eats what:\nVegans don't eat any products of animal origin. This includes not only meat, but also dairy products (milk, butter, cheese), eggs and even honey. Many vegans do eat onion and garlic. The strictest vegans don't wear leather, wool or silk and also avoid health and beauty products made with ingredients derived from animals -- for instance, lip balm with bees wax or skin creams with lanolin (an oil extracted from sheep's wool). Although some people who choose a vegan diet do so because they are allergic or insensitive to dairy products or eggs, most choose veganism because of ethical concerns. Most vegans have a deep commitment to ending the exploitation and mistreatment of animals. The term vegan, formed from first three and last two letters of the word veg etari an , was coined in London in 1944 by seven vegetarians who founded the Vegan Society. \n\nLacto-vegetarians/ Religion vegetarians / Lactose-Vegetarians are strict vegetarians who may consume milk and dairy products (optional) . Strictly No meat, no fishes, no eggs, no onion and no garlic. Lacto comes from the Latin word for milk.\n\nOvo-vegetarians are people who still eat eggs. Ovo from the Latin word for egg.\n\nLacto-ovo-vegetarians / Ovo-Lacto-vegetarians are those who eat both dairy products and eggs. \n\nMacrobiotics A macrobiotic diet is mainly vegetarian, but macrobiotic diets often include seafood. In this diet all other meat products are excluded, as are eggs and dairy products. They also do not eat "nightshade vegetables" (potato, pepper and eggplant), refined sugar and tropical fruits. This diet contains many foods found in Asian countries such as miso soup, root vegetables (daikon and lotus) and sea vegetables (seaweed, kelp, arame). It emphasizes eating locally grown foods that are in season. Meals consist of 50% to 60% grains, 25% locally grown produce, and the rest of the diet mainly consists of beans and soups. In lesser amounts fruits, nuts and seeds are eaten. This diet is based on the Chinese principles of yin and yang. Some people follow this diet as a philosophy of life and others follow it for health reasons. \n\nFlexitarian - a vegetarian who is flexible enough to occasionally eat meat or fish.\n\nDemi-vegetarians don't eat red meat or poultry, but they do eat fish, eggs.\n\nPescetarians / Pesco-Vegetarians / Pesce-Vegetarians eat a vegetarian diet but also consume fish. Pescetarians may avoid red meat and poultry because they do not want to support factory farming or other inhumane methods of raising animals. For many people making the transition to vegetarianism, pescetarianism is a stage along the way to an entirely meatless diet.\n\nPollo-Vegetarians eat poultry, such as chicken, turkey, and duck. \n\nMeat Restrictors avoid red meat, but may eat fish and poultry. \n\nPescaterians \nVegetarian still eats fish occasionally. \n\nVegetarian Sympathizers - Folks who do eat meat, fish, and chicken --- but perhaps much less than they once did, and perhaps more carefully (they may choose organically raised meats). They lean somewhat towards a low- or no-meat way in their thinking. Frequently Sympathizers and Pesces are on the continuum towards a lacto- or vegan way of eating. \n\nPartial, occasional, casual, transitional and social vegetarians As the media releases more and more reports on the health benefits of a vegetarian diet, the number of people who are curious about vegetarianism continues to grow. Many of these people choose to reduce their meat intake instead of eliminating meat from their diet altogether. They may choose to give up just red meat, or they may only eat meat when they know it comes from small-scale producers who treat their livestock humanely. They may want to eat a stricter vegetarian diet but are temporarily prevented from doing so -- for instance, parents with non-vegetarian children who ar

yup. off and on for 15 years... now a full vegan with only occasional lapses with some really good organic cheese (oooh, gouda). \n\nbecause of health (good fats, no build up of mercury or mad cow disease) \n\nenvironmental degradation (eating meat requires 4000 gallons of water a day, vegetarians only consume 300 gallons... plus the loss of our ocean's fish due to overfishing, plus factory farms ....)\n\nand now, because i'm living with and in love with a professional ethicist, i've been persuaded that the animal rights issue is important as well. (it just doesn't make any sense to do to animals the things we do. just too disgusting and unnecessary.)\n\nyou'll get a bunch of answers about how humans are supposedly "not designed" to be vegetarians, but really, we weren't designed to ride in cars either, were we? and we REALLY weren't designed to eat poisonous food, become overweight, and poison our earth in the process.\n\nand BTW, i've never needed any kind of vitamins, and my doc says i'm on the best diet there is (mainstream, reg. doc too). i hardly think a cow was "born to be eaten." like all living things, it was born to live. (and die of old age.)

Humans are omnivores. Their, vegans, claim is moral or a health consideration. They have little empirical support, though. So, eat meat in moderation, if you want.

I am on the verge of becoming a vegan. I am a vegetarian because i can't stomach the sight of meat or bloody anything, i also don't like the fact that milk comes from an animals tit and humans are the only species in the world that drink breast milk past adolescence!! that is disgusting! I think that meat is hard to eat because of animal cruelty. My sister in-law is a vegan and she became that way for many reasons, one is that she had to eat a lot healthier because she has Lupus! and two she is a vet and cares for animals on some huge level, and she knows how all animals are treated when they are raised for meat.or eggs or milk. I will eat organic turkey meat but really nothing else from animals. this is a complicated decision to make because it is a huge change in life style and i have only been strong with it for about a year. There are tons of websites out there! research! try Organic foods just to eat healthier you don't have to hug any trees or anything.

I would say yes, due to natural caregiver instincts and being more hormonally influenced.  Women are bleeding heart save-the-worldly and as such would be more veganinated than men I would guess.

"Happy Holidays" is definitely more American.  More than twenty percent of Americans are not Christian.  They follow religions such as Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism, and other various faiths.

well maybe i have to admit ( i am 1/2 korean and 1/2 black) many americans are fat, but in s. korea, they eat rice, other healthy stuff and probably 2-5% koreans are overweight. In the U.S., more than 30% of the population are overweight. ( i think)
