What is vegan? What is vegetarian? Why would we want to pursue one of these paths? For some reason, which I think had to do both with health and spiritual views, I opted to become vegetarian at about age eighteen. By the time I was twenty-two I had become vegan, leaning towards raw foods. The years that ensued carried me through many versions of these lifestyle paths; always at least 50% raw, often more; sometimes vegan (no animal products) and sometimes vegetarian (consuming some eggs and dairy - preferably organic).
I'm none the worse for wear, in fact, people often think I'm much younger than my age, which I'm sure I owe some thanks to my gene pool, and the rest to my chosen lifestyle. I've been happy to see The China Study become a mainstream discussion on how a maximum of 7% animal protein in the diet reverses or prevents all degenerative disease. That's quite the confirmation, and yes, it was a thirty-five year study done in China, I don't think they're that biologically different than we are for there not to be some truth in the findings of this study that took place in sixty-five counties with 8,000 people. In following this study, perhaps the 7% animal protein we consume might be dictated by our blood type preferences.
So a vegetarian path would be a good one to live out the results of this study in pursuit of better health and longevity. It might include yogurt, cheese, eggs and other dairy products. Some consider themselves vegetarian who also eat fish and sometimes chicken. Others say they don't eat anything with "legs". One must follow one's own conscience and beliefs to create an individualized expression of vegetarianism. If animal products are consumed they ought best be organic, void of added hormones, free range vegetarian; if you have any doubt about how important it is to pay the little extra for organic dairy products, rent the movie "The Corporation". It will cure you forever of eating non-organic dairy products.
Ah yes, the gentle vegans. This is the path of St. Francis of Assisi - a true vegan eats nothing of animal origin, wears nothing of animal origin. So does this mean they wear petroleum made shoes? Many vegans are proponents of hemp - an excellent resource for making everything from clothes to shoes; and the hemp seed is an excellent source of protein and essential fatty acids greatly enjoyed by many vegans.
As we journey on the path of conscious eating, becoming vegan or vegetarian is often a key to exploring greater awareness and presence. When one eats more lightly, one lives more gently on the Earth. Upwards of 40% of our greenhouse gasses are caused by feedlot factory animal farming and chopping down rainforests to grow more beef.
There is some grace in moving towards a more humane lifestyle both for our own well-being and the future of humanity and the Earth.
Fruit salads are steady
new fun to eat exceptionally once a meal. Segmented oranges, Mix
grapes, sliced bananas, slices of apple add a plummet of honey, a petite
darling (just sooner than serving) and a insufficiently grated coconut.
Mix perfectly beforehand serving. If you are unenthusiastic to add mix
custard powder in cold milk, coconut, and boil plow it thickens. Fall
the thicken paste on to fruit mixture and you gain delightful custard
sooner than you. - See more at:

The answer is no .Both
types of diet and recipes are equally healthy and nutritious.
Vegetarians who consumes milk therefore need not worry about their
calorific intake as a glass of milk every day will take care of that.
