  Animal carcasses are not vegetarian…

    anything that causes an animal to die to be consumed would not be vegetarian.

    That would explicitly NOT include gelatin, which is made from the hooves and the like of animals already slaughtered for the parts people eat. Literally no one is slaughtering animals to make gelatin.

      It would also decidedly not include pork tenderloin, which is made from the tenderloin of animals already slaughtered

        Now you’re just being wilfully obtuse.

    There’s no real question with honey. Honey is vegetarian, but not vegan.

    Vegetarian = does not eat animals, vegan = does not eat animal products.

  It’s actually one of those things that varies for each person, how extreme they are with vegetarian. They might avoid anything that contains geletain including gummies because it requires an animal byproduct to make.

  Eggs and dairy are not part of an animal carcass. You don’t have to kill an animal to enjoy it.

  Vegans believe using animals for any food (or maybe even product) is wrong so they avoid eggs, milk, dairy, etc. Or maybe it’s they are vegan in that they only eat eggs or whatever from their own free range chickens.

  Basically often both diets are often moral choices so there can be as much variety to how restrictive or serious it is just like any human will have variety in their morals details even if there is overlap on general idea (ffs just look at Christianity)

  And oh there are people who are vegetarian just because they don’t like the taste or texture of meat!

  Sorry for the ramble I found this really interesting when I became friends with people who have different diets. It’s interesting how much variety they can have.

    Some vegans won’t get vaccines if they contain egg protein.

    Vegan here, that seems a little extreme, and I haven’t heard of any vegan who does that. Also for many vaccines they make egg-free vaccines anyways. There are not really many good excuses to not get vaccinated if you ask me

      What about all the people that don’t know to ask you?

  last time I checked, bones, hooves, tendons, and ligaments, are meat, not just animal products, and most vegetarians would agree

    None of those things are meat, no. Meat = muscle tissue. Bones, hooves and connective tissue are not muscle tissue.

      Hmm yes, I’m sure the average vegetarian would make that petty distinction

      source

      • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It’s not a petty distinction, it’s an accurate and meaningful one: when I eat meat, an animal has been slaughtered for that purpose. When I eat or otherwise use gelatin, no animal has been slaughtered for that purpose as those parts are byproducts of animals already dead. Thus, no animal is killed for gelatine

      I mean this implies that brain, blood, tripe, cheek, etc are vegetarian
