Some people have different ways to eat. Some reasons people have food preferences is because they are vegetarians, vegans, or they are allergic to some foods. Vegetarians will not eat meat, fish or poultry, but they might eat dairy products such as cheese, eggs, yogurt, or milk. On the other hand, vegans will eliminate all animal products form their diet.
