What Is the Difference between Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in Tehran?
Before starting to introduce the restaurants, let’s first define the difference between these two lifestyles. Vegetarians only avoid meat in their diet. That means dairy products, eggs, honey, and any animal products are allowed for them. Only products that lead to the killing of an animal are prohibited for vegetarians. The main goal of vegetarianism is body health.
Next to vegetarians, there is a group called vegans. In addition to meat, vegans avoid eating and using animal products. For example, dairy products, honey, eggs, animal leather, animal fur and hair, health products with animal testing, and things like this have no place in the vegan lifestyle. As the vegans say, their main goal, in addition to maintaining body health, is to defend animal rights, protect the environment, prevent global warming and forest fires, and fight animal trafficking.
