Vegan Or Vegetarian?

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.
