What's the difference between vegetarian and vegan?
Answers:
Dietary Vegetarian: someone who does not eat meat or fish.
Ethical Vegetarian: same as the above, but will not wear leather, suede, fur or any product that involved the killing of an animal. Will often only eat free range eggs.
Vegan: Avoids all animal products. In food products this includes all meats including fish, any type of sealife, dairy, eggs, insect extracts/blood etc (cochineal and carmine food dyes), shellac and also products from bees (beeswax, propolis etc). Some vegans will eat honey as there are cases where honey can be retrieved without any suffering to bees, but most don't as many of us are vegan because we do not believe any creature is alive for humanity's 'use'.
In clothes, we wont wear any type of animal skin or fur, wool, silk. We also avoid lanolin (derived from wool).
We are also extremely conscious of how our money is spent. Most vegans wont put money into any companies linked to vivisection (cosmetic and scientific) such as Proctor and Gamble or Glaxo, not just because of animal abuses but also because their links to human rights abuses, especially in the third world.

Vegetarians might eat eggs but won't eat meat. They will eat dairy products.
Vegetarians don't eat meat (chicken, steak, fish, etc.) And vegans don't eat meat or dairy (chicken, steak, fish, milk, cheese, etc.)
vegans eat nothing animal, vegetarians can eat milk, eggs, honey, and other animal byproducts depending on the kind of vegetarian
Only looking at their diet, this is the difference:
Vegetarians dont eat meat (including fish and chicken).
Vegans dont eat meat, dairy, eggs, honey.
Vegans don't eat, wear, or buy anything that comes from an animal or contains animal by-products. Vegans believe in nonviolence and promote a lifestyle of nonviolence.
Vegetarians sometimes consume dairy foods.
