The one-word substitute for “one who does not eat animal meat” is:

Correct answer: Vegan. A vegan avoids eating animal meat (and other animal products).

Background: Vegetarians avoid meat, while vegans avoid all animal products, including dairy and eggs.

• Carnivore: A carnivore eats meat.
• Omnivore: An omnivore eats both plants and meat.
• Herbivore: “Herbivore” describes plant-eating animals, not a person’s diet.

Did you know? The term “vegan” was coined in 1944 by Donald Watson in England.

Memory trick: Vegan = no animal products at all.
