A vegan does not eat any food from any animal source. Vegans only eat foods from plant sources. A vegetarian can include various types. There are two types of vegetarians. Lacto-vegetarians eat dairy products along with plant foods. Lacto-ovo vegetarians eat diary produts and eggs along with plant foods.
At it's most basic it means as well as no meat and fish vegans also eat no eggs or animal milk or honey or anything made from these things.
Most people have already given you the standard answer, so I guess I want to say something a little different.
Vegetarianism is a lifestyle change which involves cutting out meat and fish from your diet. It is a step in the right direction towards reducing the cruelty suffered by animals but it does not remove you from the processes of dairy farming and egg production which, free range, organic or not result in the unnecessary deaths of many animals.
Veganism is a complete overhaul of your lifestyle to eliminate cruelty in all its forms. It goes beyond just not eating meat, fish, dairy, eggs, honey etc. and makes the step to avoid all animal products and products that have been tested on animals. It is also tied up with respect for the environment and a wish for fair trade. Veganism is not a "cult" as so many meat eaters like to tell you. It is not a freak show either. It is, however a truly cruelty free way of life which, if followed correctly can be healthy, fulfilling and wonderful.
As for being ill-tempered, well, only when people pigeon-hole us and try to tell us we're freakish, ill, pale faced and stupid and that's a right which I think everyone can reserve.
a veggie will eat things like eggs cheese and milk products which come from animals a vegan will not they only have food that has had nothing to do with animals at all.
