vegetarians dont eat meat but a vegan does not eat any animal produce such as butter, eggs, cream, etc. my mum is vegetarian but in my opinion it isn't very healthy to be vegan so if your thinking about it, DONT DO IT! be a veggie instead. :)

Answer 3

vegetarians dont eat meat or meat products*such as beef gelatin,but vegans dont eat anything that has come from animals...such as milk eggs cheese ect...so they dont eat thing with that in ...bread for example has eggs in so they dont eat bread.they cant eat cakes as they contain eggs and they cant eat most sweets because they contain eggs milk or gelatin...no chocolate for them!they are left with things such as fruit veg and things such as just plain sugar...Vegans do not consume, use, or buy any product derived from animals, including eggs, milk, honey, leather, wool, beeswax, and anything dyed red, in case it's an insect based dye.

Answer 4

Ones more of a pain in the backside than the other to cook for.

Answer 5

Chinese69boi has it mostly right, except for the bit about vegans needing to take amino acid supplements.  Amino acids are simply the building blocks of protein, which is plentiful on a vegan diet.

The major difference is that vegetarians don't eat dead animals, whereas vegans don't eat anything of animal origin whatsoever, regardless of whether or not the animal died for it.  Vegetarianism may be simply a dietary choice, but veganism by it's very definition, extends beyond diet to lifestyle.  We don't wear animal fabrics, use consumer goods like toiletries made with animal ingredients or support industries that exploit animals for entertainment.

Answer 6

A vegetarian doesn't eat animals and a vegan hasn't had s*x yet.

Answer 7

A basic vegetarian will eat dairy and some other animal products. a vegan is a vegetarian who will attempt a diet of eating plants and plant products only.

The terms apply grammatically in relation to humans only.

Answer 8

I'm not COMPLETELY sure, but I think vegetarians won't eat meat at all, and vegans won't eat meat or dairy products either.

Answer 9

Vegetarians do not eat meat, and depending upon their morals or preferences, may or may not eat eggs or dairy. Most commonly, they do eat eggs and dairy.

Vegans do not consume, use, or buy any product derived from animals, including eggs, milk, honey, leather, wool, beeswax, and anything dyed red, in case it's an insect based dye.

Nutritionally, the only difference is that vegans need to take a B12 and amino acid supplement, since they have no dietary source of these nutrients.

You can get all the nutrients you need on a lacto-ovo (eggs and milk) vegetarian diet without supplements.

Answer 10

Vegans eat no animal products at all...no dairy, no eggs, no honey. They exclude all additives based on animal byproducts. They refuse to wear wool or leather, usually only buy organic foods, and often do a lot of research into the ingredients of makeup etc.

Answer 12

Answer 13
