Whats the difference between vegan and vegetarian?!
Of particular concern are the practices involved in factory farming and animal testing, and the intensive use of land and other resources required for animal farming.
Vegan diets are a subset of vegetarian diets, which are credited with lowering the risk of colon cancer, heart attack, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, and stroke. However, vegan diets can be low in levels of protein, calcium, iodine, vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Vegans are therefore encouraged to plan their diet and take dietary supplements as appropriate.

Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes all animal flesh, including poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, and slaughter by-products. 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 involved the actual death of an animal (dairy, eggs, honey, wool, silk, down feathers, etc.). A generic term for both vegetarianism and veganism, as well as for similar diets, is "Plant-based diets".
Vegetarian diets have been found to completely satisfy nutritional needs for all stages of life, and large-scale studies have proven vegetarianism to increase longevity, improve health, and significantly lower risks of cancer and other fatal diseases. Some evidence also suggests that vegetarian diets can improve mood and mental ability.
Answers: Veganism (also strict or pure vegetarianism) is a philosophy and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. Vegans do not use or consume animal products of any kind. The most common reasons for becoming a vegan are ethical commitment or moral convictions concerning animal rights, the environment, or human health, and spiritual or religious concerns.

Vegans do not eat anything that is a product of an animal or comes from an animal.
vegetarians dont eat meat or meat products
Vegans dont eat these either, but also dont eat anything else dirived from an animal, so any dairy products are out.
A vegan eliminates all animal products from their diet, including dairy. Those following a vegan lifestyle generally do not wear leather and avoid products made from animals such as wool, silk and down. Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish or poultry but most likely eat diary products.

Confuzzled
vegatarians think that it is only meat that is murder. They don't eat meat but will eat eggs, milk, and cheese, and gelatin.
Vegans know that the dairy industry, meat, and other animal industries kill and abuse animals. so thry don't eat ANY animal product at all/
Vegetarians have a brain.
Here are the definitions: http://www.vegsoc.org/info/definitions.h...
A vegan lifestyle also excludes animal products and animal ingredients from all other asects of life, not just diet. So, we don't wear leather, silk, fur, wool, suede, feathers, etc. We source cleaning products, toiletries, etc. that are made without animal ingredients or testing and we don't support industries that exploit animals (like circuses.)
