In vegetarian food there is also no consumption of any type of animal meat, be it red or white. Only soy and natural foods, such as vegetables, vegetables, grains, and fruits, but vegetarians consume food derived from animals. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRdVtYpQaERbZimYEeiJWTxnookwQSNj2HR3rkx9vsbAa/racao-vegana-para-animais.jpg

*Vegan food for dogs
