Veggie is a slang term which can be used for one of four things:

• A Vegetarian
• A Vegetable

Vegetarianism is the practice of not consuming meat or fish, with or without the use of dairy products or eggs. This includes products derived from animals, such as lard, tallow, gelatin, rennet and cochineal. Some vegetarians also choose to refrain from wearing clothing derived from animals, such as leather and fur. Veganism excludes all animal products from diet and attire, whether or not this involves the actual death of an animal (dairy, eggs, honey, down feathers and silk). Still stricter is fruitarianism, which excludes all food but the fallen botanic fruits of plants.
