What's the difference between vegetarian and vegan?
Answers:
A vegetarian is a person who eats no meat (including fish or chicken) or seafood.
A vegan is a person who
* eats no meat, seafood, eggs or dairy
* avoids wearing clothes and accessories made from animals eg leather shoes
* tries not to use products derived from or tested on animals
Vegans also don't use honey, as this is taken from bees.

vegetarian- no poultry ( includes chicken..someone on here didn't know that for some odd reason),fish, red meat and gelatin.
vegans don't eat the above and avoid- casein, whey and other animal by products. they don't consume dairy or eggs.
Vegans are vegetarians, as both avoid eating animal flesh (beef, poultry, fish).
Not all vegetarians are vegans, however, since vegans also avoid eating any product that comes from an animal (eggs, dairy, honey). They also avoid using products that include ingredients that come from animals. For instance, a vegan doesn't wear leather or wool. They also wouldn't use a moisturizer that contains animal byproducts.
Lets take a look at some of these groups:
VEGETARIAN:
Vegetarian is a blanket term used to describe a person
who does not consume meat, poultry, fish, or seafood.
This grouping includes vegans and the various sub-
categories of vegetarian; however, it generally implies
someone who has less dietary restrictions than a vegan.
SEMI-VEGETARIAN:
The term semi-vegetarian is usually used to describe
someone who is not actually a vegetarian. Semi-vegetarian
generally implies someone who only eats meat occasionally
or doesnt eat meat, but eats poultry and fish.
OVO-LACTO-VEGETARIAN:
Ovo-lacto vegetarians are vegetarians who do not consume
meat, poultry, fish, and seafood, but do consume eggs and
milk. This is the largest group of vegetarians.
OVO-VEGETARIAN:
Ovo-vegetarian is a term used to describe someone who
would be a vegan if they did not consume eggs.
LACTO-VEGETARIAN:
Lacto-vegetarian is a term used to describe someone
who would be a vegan if they did not consume milk.
VEGAN:
Vegan is the strictest sub-category of vegetarians.
Vegans do not consume any animal products or byproducts.
Some even go as far as not consuming honey and yeast.
Others do not wear any clothing made from animal
products.
Take some time to figure out what group you will belong
to when you become a vegetarian. You will want to consider
both dietary and ethical reasons for choosing this
lifestyle.
A vegan my dear is a person who dosen't touch dairy,meat,seafood,milk or poultry. A vegan only gets an appetite out of vitamin B12 which helps them to gain their strengh and health, carbs (bread, potatoes, biscuits etc) which is the most important part about going vegan, fruit helps because fruit is most likely to be the only thing vegans snack on and vegetables. A vegan is really tough because I tried once but I now only stick to being a vegetarian. Learn more about veganism here look at

Now Vegetarianism is where you can still have your dairy, your crisps your chocolate (not Mars incorparated) but you still can't eat meat. Vegetarianism only eats the dairy from the animal only if it's still alive and running. I'm myself a vegetarian and I eat dairy because I know it's only from the animal not from the body of the animal. I don't eat eggs because I don't like them. I don't really like dairy because I get a funny taste in my mouth afterwards. Thats it you know the difference my dear and look at these websites for vegetarianism not veganism.

Hi
:)
VEGETARIANS:
*Eat no dead animals, whether they walk, swim or fly
*Vegetarians do not eat foods that are *code words* for
dead animal, such as "gelatin"
*they can eat dairy and eggs but some choose not to
___________________
VEGANS
*Same as vegetarians
*They also do not eat products that come from animals,
including eggs, dairy or honey
*They do not eat code words for products that come from
animals such as casein (and many others)
*Vegans do not wear products from animals either. This
includes: leather, wool, suede, down, silk etc.
*They purchase products that were not tested on animals or contain animal parts (soaps, health&beauty, toiletries etc.)
________________________
Both lifestyles are on different levels of the same cause. Both
contain people who are trying to wrap their minds around a
new concept (of what the meat-industry actually is, whether for health, environmental, religious or ethical reasons) and
figuring out what they can do to not be a part of it.

I know this is pretty similar to answers you already have, but I wanted to add that yeast is a fungus, like a mushroom. Vegans can eat yeast.

vegans dont eat eggs or anything with milk and so on and so forth, anything that comes from an animal basically
A vegetarian is someone who doesn't eat animal flesh. Various kinds of vegetarians exist: a lacto-vegetarian will consume dairy foods but not eat eggs, an ovo-vegetarian will eat eggs but not consume dairy foods, and a lacto-ovo-vegetarian will consume both eggs and dairy foods. A vegan, on the other hand, consumes no animal products. Some even turn away from honey, since bees produce it in a honey 'stomach' inside their bodies, and gelatin, since most gelatin is produced from rendered animal bones.
