Do vegans eat honey? sugar?

Mitchel Demry: In short... NO. , you can Google anything and find moderately if not completely accurate information. "Pescatarian-ism, is the practice of a DIET that includes seafood, and EXCULDES ALL OTHER ANIMALS. In addition to fish and/or shellfish, a pescetarian diet typically includes some or all of vegetables, fruit, nuts, grains, beans, eggs and dairy. The Merriam-Webster dictionary dates the origin of the term "Pescatarian" to 1993 and defines it to mean: "one whose diet includes fish but no meat".I.e., seafood is my preference, however since I also eat foul (or turkey, chicken etc.), butter, and egg whites, but not dairy I still am not truly a "Pescatarian". Here's is the "Wiki" link referenced above, hope you found their definition helpful....Show more

Loise Mausser: Honey is not vegan - it comes from the bees. White sugar is not vegan, because it is processed through bone char. Some alcohol is vegan, you can look up online which ones are and are ! not.

Sylvie Snetting: All European sugar and quite a bit of US is vegan since it is derived from beets and not sugar cane. And if you REALLY want to get strict about bees, then all foods that are pollenated by transporting bees around should be non-vegan as well. Even organic farmers use pesticides so there is no such thing as truly vegan food available in a supermarket.

Cody Petrulis: It is hard to know the correct answer because there are alot of opinions out there about what is and isn't being vegetarian. Vegetarian in the common sense means no animal meat and yes fish is meat as far as I am concerned, and generally not using any products that require animals be killed. Veganism involves the eating/using no animal byproducts in addition to not eating meat. i.e. things you can get from an animal without killing it (milk, eggs, wool, beeswax, etc.) That being said, I think you need to consider why you want to make the change to vegetarianism and what your needs! are. I think it is a very good stepping stone to vegetarianis! m to eat fish if that is something you think would be good for you. Remember that it's better to eat less meat than not take any steps towards vegetarianism at all. I think alot of the hang-ups people have with what is "perfectly" vegetarian and who can call themselves vegetarian get in the way of alot of very well intentioned people making the important first steps and eliminating only some meats or animal products from their diets at first because it "isn't vegetarian enough" to join the club. I say, start with the eggs, fish and milk, but at the same time start introducing yourself to more strict vegetarian dishes a little at a time. Eventually you can phase out the fish and milk and eggs....Show more

Fred Caminita: It depends on who and where you are.All sugar is 100% vegan in Australia, not so in other parts of the world.Some alcohols are refined with animal products, others are not. Most vegans I know don't check their vodka -- I'm pretty certain it's fine. Mo! st vegans I know drink plenty. :PIf you are someone who thinks that a certain sophisticated level of consciousness is required in order to have a right not to be exploited .. and you are vegan for animal rights reasons .. you will eat honey. Others will err on the side of caution and not eat anything derived from anything in the animal kingdom, conscious or not, just in case it causes pain. Honey is a source of controversy among vegans. But most people I know don't eat it.And yes, all vegans look out for gelatine, milk and egg products ("lactose") and other animal products in the ingredients of new things they buy -- food and clothes and cosmetics, etc.But you get used to it. Giving labels the once over and moving to the next item is pretty easy stuff. Once you know what you're looking for, the brands you like, it's second nature and it's a no-brainer. :-)...Show more

Shandi Wedge: There's enough vegetables for those rabbits. Don't worry :)I just can't eat someth! ing that's been tortured....

Russell Mckinzie: do they drink milk! , eat yogurt ect?

Alexander Villas: Yes. They obviously eat animal products since they eat animals themselves.

Elden Bardach: Here is a simple way to put it.Vegans only eat things that grow from the ground.

Penelope Armond: Vegans don't eat or wear anything made by or from animals. Fish and shrimp are meat. Any type of animal flesh is meat when it comes to the vegetarian and vegan discussion.

Aubrey Tirri: meat pig yuk, no dog meat, shrimp has sharp shell on side Yuk, dead cows Stink bro! rotten fish rotten meat rotten chicken pew we! dead fish pew we! smelly can yuk. I don't like meat, oh I may try it but that doesn't mean I like the junk. they spit on meat in restaurant why get sick u like meat. yk

Cassidy Pangrazio: Vegetarians/vegans never eat seafood and that includes all shell fish. Shrimps are animals that live in the sea just are lobsters, crabs, mussels, oysters and cockles. If you eat fish or any animal that lives in the ocean then yo! u are not vegetarian but you can call yourself a pescatarian.

Raven Purl: No honey because its an animal product.No un vegan sugar, because sugar is usually filtered through bone char to give it it's white color. (just buy vegan sugar)alchohol is vegan. and brown sugar is vegan.

Alisa Kaleiwahea: Excuse me- what category do fish and sea creatures fall into= animal, vegetable or mineral?On planet earth, all things are one of these three. HUmans are animal.Kiwi fruit is vegetable.Rocks are mineral.So, using that very simple thing- which are sea creatures?ANd from what comes milk?Hint- they're not vegetable....Show more

Zora Mazzie: Yes they do.

Marion Wieboldt: I know they do not eat any kind of meat but how about Fish and seafood like Shrimps???They were also Alive and they are also ones who get killed after caught by people.maybe..Milk not...and Cheese. And i guess they can eat Spaggetti or PizzaDo Vegans also not eat Seafood then if they don't have ! meat?what's something vegans don't have except 'meat' ...Show more

Hunter Beech: Yes, pescatarians will eat from all food groups and only avoid meat (other than fish obviously!)X

Dalila Yoon: They don't eat dairy products such as cheese, milk and yogurts etc. Also they don't eat anything containing dairy products either. I woould have thought the consumption of meat is more or less being a vegetarian, which is different. But, I'm not entirely sure of the matter...

Ardell Luy: Do meat eaters know that they hurt animals MORE than vegetarians do? The whole point of being vegetarian is that you hurt LESS. Live and let live. By the way you should learn to spell and get some basic grammar skills - I sort of had trouble reading that. Are you trying to make us guilty for eating vegetables? I suppose that you could also say that we are doing the environment harm by breathing air that some other animal could have breathed... but think about this. Meat eaters are eating animals AND they are eating vegetables that some other vegetarian o! r poor little rabbit could have eaten - effectively affecting TWO creatures instead of one, as opposed to the vegetarians. And meat eaters are consuming 2500 gallons of fresh water every time they eat a pound of meat - because that's how much water is needed just to produce one pound. If meat production wasn't funded by tax payers you'd be paying $35 per ound of hamburger. So you're increasing the world's shortage of fresh water problem, PLUS eating a dead animal PLUS using up papers and wood and trees that could have once been a poor animal's home. Think about that. And stop stereotyping vegetarians. Just because we are vegetarians doesn't make us hippies. Greenies or environmentalists - some people are vegetarians for health reasons.Also I hope you realise that you have only one full stop, one question mark and a grand total of two separate sentances in that whole paragraph. Go back to school and learn English, and read up on vegetarianism before you attack us all and try! to make us feel guilty of...not eating dead things....Show more

! Natalya Sydney: they don't eat honey, and can only eat 'sugar in the raw' or other non filtered through bone char sugars like that.

Ermelinda Stalnaker: This has to be the dumbest thing I have ever read.

Cassey Hollinghurst: You mean like dead fish? Yes. The other animal products (eggs and dairy) are up to the individual. Some pescetarians do and others don't. Unless someone qualifies the "I'm a pescetarian" statement, assume that they do. When in doubt, ask.

Barrett Alosa: First, vegetarians and vegans do not consume animals- which includes seafood.Vegans do not consume animals (cows, chicken, shrimp, fish etc.) or animal products like eggs, butter, etc.

Vida Miss: Honey is an animal product, so no.

Ronny Dorge: if ya dont wanna feel guilty than dont make meat eaters feel guilty by say meat is bad simple stuff like that can hurt a simple person . meat eaters eat the animal they take the meat from so that it wont starve and activist shouldnt s! trike at when people use fur in designs and things it keeps people worm that animal didnt die in vein luv ya's(hate grammer)

Foster Koopmann: i know what you're saying. theres lots of places out there where animals need their population kept under control. ask anyone from michigan about how many deer you see there. if they werent hunted and thinned out most of them would be starving to death from overpopulating. i'd much rather see an animal live its life to the fullest, kill or be killed, and die as a strong healthy part of the circle of life than see it starving to death and left to wilt and rot.

Judie Kise: Oh course they don't eat honey... it comes from an animal.

Bruce Calise: No honey, because it comes from brutally abusing poor innocent bees, but alcohol and sugar are 100% plant-based so they're fine.Good luck!... ☺

Foster Padgette: It depends on the person. Most pescatarians simply cut out all meat except fish. Others follow a lacto-ovo v! egetarian diet (cutting out animal products such as non-fish derived ge! latin and rennet) with the addition of fish. I've even known a few pescatarians who were vegan except for the fish that they ate. Most, however, fall into that first category.

Julieta Suleiman: Alcohol often uses a substance called isinglass in production, which is derived from fish. It's not an ingredient in the alcohol itself but is used for filtration during the manufacturing process. Vegan alcohol uses a synthetic substitute. I don't think isinglass is used in spirits. It would be mainly beers and wines.White sugar may not be vegan because bone charcoal is used to bleach it. brown or golden sugar would be fine.Vegans do not eat honey because it's derived from bees.Also watch out for anything (candies, desserts etc) containing gelatin, which is usually made from animal bones....Show more

Denna Prudente:

Caleb Chapman: I was confused about the honey too. Technically, the honey doesn't COME FROM the bees, they just collect the nectar to make it. But I ! suppose it's still using animals for human benefit.

Ira Porietis: Not really.

Luke Creitz: do vegans or vegitarians and animal right activist know that they hurt animals as well. they eat vegetables the same exact vegetabnles that some little rabbit could have eatin if they didnt so for others to eat meat is good the lower the risk there being to many animals on the planet with nothing to eat or a place to live beaceus animal activist have to us picket signs or cardboard signs to strick its beacuse of them so many animals are losing there homes and the clothes they wear that matereial is made out of material that was once some little creatures home or food and some of them have pets wich should be running free so basically unless they live in thin air and disapear when they die they hurt the animals becasue the house they live in wether mabe from wood or brick was where an animals home was or the material was an animals home an the food they eat was food that! could have saved an animal so stop all the stupdi stuff like strikin! at design shows with fur in it i luv vegies...Show more

Buddy Ardd: ok VEGANS do not eat ANY meat or poultry (fish foul(bird) ) or dairy product (eggs cheese milk etc.) VEGETARIANS eat dairy products and maybe fish. Pescatarians don't eat any meat except fish.

Loise Mausser: survival of the fittest i guess...

Rebbecca Sorkin: Okay, first of all there is no such thing as shrimps. Shrimp can be singular or plural so it's always just shrimp. Fish is an animal and the flesh of an animal is meat. Vegans don't use ANY animal product. Fish, milk and cheese are animal products.
