It's a lot different than being vegan. Vegans, a type of vegetarian, don't eat any animal products at all.

I agree. Vegans do not eat meat at all and I think that is unhealthy. Vegans are missing important sources for HDL "good" cholesterol that help reduce the amount of LDL "bad" cholesterol in the body. They may have lower risk for cancer but they can be at greater risk also for heart diseases and other disorders. We need cholesterol in our body for our cells to function properly. Balance is the key to quality life not perfection.
