Vegetarianism is the practice of avoiding the consumption of animal flesh. Animal-derived products such as eggs, cheese and milk are often still included.

This often leads to an increase of other types of foods such as vegetables and alternative sources of protein and iron.

Veganism is similar, with the exclusion of animal-derived products. Vegans will not eat honey (that comes from bees) or wear leather (that comes from cows and other livestock).

It can be due to religion, society, personal beliefs or health. In Hinduism, vegetarianism is a requirement and meat is strictly prohibited.

"Pure" vegetariancan mean a few things. It can refer to people who are vegan (those who do not consume or use animal products of any kind). It can also refer to a person who is very strict about their diet and does not stray or consume meat ever. It can also refer to a person who grew up vegetarian and has never eaten meat in their entire life.
