What's the difference between a Vegetarian and a Vegan?

Question

Didn't know there was one.

Answer 1

Vegetarians don't eat anything from a dead animal.  Vegans don't eat anything from an animal, period, dead or alive.

Vegetarians don't eat meat or slaughter by-products, like lard, tallow, meat broths, gelatin, rennet, or anything else that comes from a dead animal.

Vegans don't eat the same things vegetarians avoid, but in addition, they don't eat dairy products, eggs or honey.

Vegetarianism *can* be just a dietary choice (though many vegetarians extend their choice beyond diet.)  Veganism, by it's definition, implies a moral concern for animals and it always extends beyond diet.  Vegans don't eat, use, wear or otherwise consume anything from animals whatsoever (to the extent that that's possible.)  We don't wear leather, suede, wool, silk, down, fur, feathers or pearls; we don't buy toiletries, makeup or other consumer products that are made with animal ingredients or are tested on animals; and we don't support industries that exploit animals for entertainment, like circuses or rodeos.

Answer 5

A vegan will not eat eggs/milk products aswell as meat/fish and refrain from using wool/silk and usually will not use products that involve animal testing, i.e cosmetics/household products,although some vegetarians will adhere to this aswell.

Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes all animal, including poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, and slaughter by-products[1] [2]. The reasons for choosing vegetarianism may be related to morality, religion, culture, ethics, aesthetics, environment, society, economy, politics, taste, or health.

There are several variants of the diet, some of which also exclude eggs and/or some products produced from animal labor such as dairy products and honey. Veganism, for example, excludes all animal products from diet. By some strict definitions, animal products are not used for attire either, whether or not the production of clothing or items has directly involved the actual death of an animal (dairy, eggs, honey, wool, silk, down feathers, etc.). [3] A generic term for both vegetarianism and veganism, as well as for similar diets, is "plant-based diets".[4]
