Vegans, vegetarians and omnivores
To understand everything easily, we tend to classify, to name things in such a way that we know what to expect. We do it even according to what we choose to live on. There are vegetarians, omnivores, vegans, etc.
From a vegetarian point of view, an omnivore eats all types of food, including fish, flesh, fruit and vegetables, without the slightest concern about how that food is produced. Vegetarians strongly believe that if omnivores knew how animals are bred and slaughtered, they would probably become vegetarians.
For people who eat meat, a vegetarian is someone who eats plants, basically vegetables and fruit, and all vegetarians are the same. However, many vegetarians also eat products coming from animals. If they eat cheese, yoghurt or drink animal milk, they are still called vegetarians. The idea is that to obtain this food, no animal is killed. That is one of their deepest worries.
And there are also vegans or radical vegetarians. If a vegetarian refuses to eat not only meat but also eggs, dairy products and all other animal-derived ingredients, he or she is called vegan. In addition, most vegans do not use anything coming from animals, including leather, fur or wool. That is why they are sometimes called radical vegetarians, but what most clearly defines them is a profound respect for animal rights.
There are also pescatarians, raw vegetarians, flexitarians, etc but we are not going to go further on this. To start with, this is more than enough.
