Global View ‐ Vegan Or Vegetarian? (C0296)
A: Hey Julie, you want to go grab something to eat?
B: Sure! What do you feel like having?
A: I really feel like having a big juicy steak!
B: Oh. ok. I don’t eat meat, but that’s fine, I am sure wherever we are going they will have other options right?
A: I didn’t know you were a vegetarian!
B: I’m not, I am a vegan.
A: A what?
B: A vegan. I don’t eat or use any animal based products. I don’t wear leather, eat eggs, drink milk or anything that comes from an animal. I used to be a pescatarian before, which basically means you don’t eat meat, but still have fish and seafood.
A: Wow! That’s interesting! It must be tough!
B: It’s a bit difficult to find vegetarian friendly restaurants sometimes, but since more and more people are vegetarians or vegans nowadays, it’s getting a bit less difficult.
