sea animals.

dairy products or any other product derived from an animal. Vegetarians,
on the other hand, tend to eat eggs and dairy products like milk and
butter.

make-up and skin creams, or products made from animal skins such as
leather belts and shoes. But vegetarians tend to be a bit more lenient when
