Hey. You asked me something about veganism yesterday, but I don't know if you noticed my answer, so I decided to post it here as well, with some modifications. Really, the book pages can be a little inconvenient for discussing things, sometimes. :)

Well, a vegetarian and vegan diet is the same thing. The difference is that veganism is more of a complete lifestyle, which means vegans don't use products that has been tested on animals, they don't use fur or animal skin and so on.

The types of vegetarians that drink milk or eat cheese or things like that have a different name.

Ovo vegetarian - consumes eggs but otherwise nothing animalic.

Lacto vegetarian - Consumes dairy products

Lacto-ovo vegetarian - consumes both dairy products and eggs

Pescetarian - Eats fish

As far as Jello goes, it's made of gelatine which comes from pigs, so that doesn't work for vegetarians or vegans. Where I live, we have a lot of substitutes for meat, so we can use that instead of meat and end up with pretty much the same thing. The substitute (often ground "beef", but can be other things as well) can be made of different things, like soy (not the liquid). My family sometimes makes tacos as well, but with beans instead of meat which means we still get the protein, and as tacos have a lot of toppings, I don't really feel the bean/meat anyway. Vegan pizza is also easy to do, if you have a vegan cheese.

I searched for vegan food, and found a list that you can check out if you want to.

Did I answer everything? I don't know. x) Feel free to ask again if you want to. :)
