Most vegetarians are ok with animal products that don’t harm the animal and commercial eggs aren’t fertilized. Vegan is no animal products at all.

If I recall, vegetarian diets allows animal products that don't result in death? So, honey, dairy products, eggs. Etc etc.

There are many variations of the vegetarian diet: an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products, an ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products, and a lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs. As the strictest of vegetarian diets, a vegan diet excludes all animal products

From The Vegetarian Society

A vegetarian diet can include…

Vegetables and fruits

Grains and pulses

Nuts and seeds

Eggs

Dairy products

Honey

A vegetarian diet does not include…

Meat or poultry

Fish or seafood

Insects

Gelatine or animal rennet

Stock or fat from animals

From Merriam-Webster: 1: a person who does not eat meat : someone whose diet consists wholly of vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, and sometimes eggs or dairy products

Vegetarian just means not eating meat. I define meat as being made of a dead animal. An egg is not an animal.

ThisIsAnArgument t1_j9mfm4e wrote

Depends on the region. In a lot of countries eggs are part of vegetarian cuisine, but in South Asia (think India, Sri Lanka) they might be considered not vegetarian. Restaurants in India will often call themselves "pure veg" so as to underline that they definitely don't use eggs in their menu.

Vegans, of course, won't eat eggs as a rule.

yogirlandyofamily t1_j9na73f wrote

I thought vegan is a short term for vegetarian. I recall there's vegan, lacto vegan (can eat milk), lacto ovo vegan (can eat milk & eggs), etc. Has the term vegan always been "more radical" vegetarian in the very first place or has the differencing between them only been around recently?

josidhe t1_j9nb6gh wrote

I think you got some wires crossed on the words as you picked them up over time. Vegan was never an abbreviated form of vegetarian, it was always a separate thing.

Pop on over to google and type in lacto. Check out the suggestions that drop down. You mixed 'em up.

Oh i see im not a native English speaker. It just sounds weird to me to hear the shorter term can mean something different when usually its just the shorter term

Vegetarians just don’t eat meat/fish but do eat eggs and dairy. Vegans don’t eat meat/fish, eggs, or dairy. I have been vegetarian for 20+ years, the terms have always been different things.

The_Healed t1_j9obomw wrote

Nope youre thinking lacto vegetarian. Or ovo lacto veg. Vegan means zero animal products in anyway shape or form. Period. At all. Even if it doesnt otherwise hurt to animal (shearing sheep for wool)

ihaveanideer t1_j9pjqm1 wrote

Commercial wool does cause hurt to the animal. You can google photos of sheep who have been carelessly sheared. Similarly for eggs - if you have a pet chicken that’s laying eggs, eating them won’t cause harm. But the commercialization of eggs causes mass harm via exploitation.

The_Healed t1_j9pjxvy wrote

Thanks for the caveat. Reckless/careless. As a whole careful handling causes no harm. Neither does having egg laying animals for consumption. No buts necessary

Cu_fola t1_j9oxezo wrote

I mean I’m not vegan, but I make it a point not to get offended when someone is hardcore about something they see as a life or death ethical violation.

And It is literally life or death.

I’m ok with eating eggs as a concept. But the way we acquire them is unbelievably cruel and wasteful. There’s no way to avoid it in our current system without simply not eating eggs.

Even happy backyard chickens are mostly purchased as babies from the same industrial chicken producers that use these methods. And possibly most people just replace their laying hens by buying more chicks, not by breeding their own hens and dealing with the male chicks humanely.

So every time I eat an egg, I am funding this abhorrent system one way or another. I can’t pretend that I’m not.

my solution has been to cut down my animal-based food by 75%.

I suspect we’ll never get to a point where everyone in the world is vegetarian or vegan. It looks very unlikely to me.

But If everyone who has a choice accepts the gravity of their food choices and chooses to change their diet composition up, we can exert pressure and radically change the structure of our ag system to stop being such a disaster.

SkylianSkimbape t1_j9pdd3t wrote

Veganism is about not using any animal products or contributing to any industry that uses animals. Mainly because of ethical and/or ecological reasons.

Vegetarianism is about diet (mostly due to religious or health reasons) and is mainly concerned with not consuming animals themselves.

Vegetarians may eat honey and dairy, may wear leather (religious Hindus would consider leather unclean as it involves killing) but vegans would not touch any of the above as it all involves living animals in one way or another.

lunas2525 t1_j9nu8q5 wrote

Vegan was the pretentious socal offshoot that we are better than you version of vegetarians.

Vegans will only eat things that never had a face.

Vegetarians have degrees and tiers if what they can and cant.

Example some vegetarians might still include fish or animal products like milk eggs and cheese.

Veganism is the omission of all animal products, so very strict vegans definitely don’t eat meat, seafood, or eggs," And many don't eat honey or gelatin, either.

I am vegetarian and I eat eggs. I gave up bacon, chicken wings and a good burger, I ain't giving up cheese, eggs and dairy. Vegans are insane.

ekeet t1_j9pm11b wrote

Vegans just want to minimize unnecessary suffering. What’s insane about that? I would argue it’s more insane to be vegetarian. You give up food you like but still contribute to the suffering - the worst of both worlds.

−5

Rance_Mulliniks t1_j9pr02u wrote

My point was that you have to be a special kind of person to be a vegan. It's not easy.

A sane vegan wouldn't suggest that being a vegetarian is pointless though. That is like saying "Why take public transit rather than drive your own vehicle? You are still polluting." Being a vegetarian definitely reduces suffering and environmental impact of our food sources. Thanks for proving my point. Vegans wonder why they are ridiculed.

The onions imo should be sliced thin not diced. That way you can use just a fork or chopsticks to pick up all the food easily.

That is not true. You can use a soup spoon for the diced onions.

The raw onion is there for texture as well as taste. I'd rather have it with the noodles instead of a mouth full of broth and raw onion.

They’re saying THEY WOULD PREFER the onions thinly sliced, so that THEY CAN USE chopsticks or a fork... geez. Doesn’t matter if a spoon exists there; they were simply stating their preference ffs.

I agree, I’d rather have them thinly sliced for the textural consistency and ability to use chopsticks or a fork.

So….eggs are not vegetarian. They are meat. An animal died so you can eat those eggs. It doesn’t count. I don’t care what other regions think. Vegetarian = no meat. Vegan= nothing from an animal (such as milk since the cow didn’t die to get you that milk) now feel free to downvote away. It won’t matter and it won’t change the facts. Your just wrong en masse.

Not unless the hen mated with a rooster first. They lay regularly whether their eggs are fertilized or not. We only eat the unfertilized ones

WalrusByte t1_j9q54q2 wrote

I've never done this myself, but I heard you can shine a flashlight through the egg to see if there's an embryo inside. Results depends on how early or late into the growing process it is. The easiest thing to do is just keep the roosters and the hens separated so you know they're all unfertilized.

Katters8811 t1_j9nxrg6 wrote

How would they get fertilized when the hens have zero access to roosters? No males=no sperm=no fertilization.

Did you also know that human women “lay eggs” absent fertilization? It’s called a period. Not sure I’ve ever seen someone so sure while being so wrong.

Well the same reason turtles lay like 30 eggs. The likelihood of the hatchlings making it to the ocean and living their life out is low. It’s called evolution.
