What does vegan and vegetarian mean?!
Answers: I'm actually a pescetarian, which means that I only eat fish, dairy products, etc... but no meat, but somehow, I notice that I haven't eat any fish at all, what am I suppose to be?
VEGETARIANISM is just VEGETARIANISM.
It has it's unique philosophy. (I WOULD NOT WASTE THE TIME TO ELABORATE "TYPES" OF EATING HABIT WHICH SURELY A PHILOSOPHY COLLAPSE).
In modern concept of “vegetarian” or “vegan” often MISUNDERSTOOD. There is no need for self-acclaim, manipulation nor customize to suit you the term "vegetarianism" if you intended to consume animal, or anything derived from them. There is nothing to shame about being called as a non-vegetarian.
Veganism :
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.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.
The word vegan, pronounced /?vi?g?n/,was originally derived from "vegetarian" in 1944 when Elsie Shrigley and Donald Watson, FRUSTRATED the term "vegetarianism" had come to include the eating of dairy products, egg, fish, etc .He founded the UK Vegan Society. They combined the first three and last two letters of vegetarian to form "vegan", which they saw as "the beginning and end of vegetarian".The British Vegan Society defines veganism in this way:
The word "veganism" denotes a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude — as far as is possible and practical — all forms of exploitation of, manipulation of breeds, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals. Other vegan societies use similar definitions now.

That will tell you all you need to know.
Good day!
well then your a vegetarian
vegetarian: many branches of it but generally a person who does not eat meat and that means fish and sea food
vegan: does NOT eat any kind of animal product and I think they can't eat refined sugar either.
Vegetarians do not eat meat or fish
Vegans do not eat/wear any animal products (including eggs, milk leather)
Vegetarianism and veganism are conscious choices. You don't accidentally become one.
You're still an omnivore even if you haven't eaten fish in a few meals.

To answer your topic question:
Vegetarian is a blanket term. It covers the 5 levels. There's none of this "pollo pesce semi" crap. Those are levels of omnivores, NOT vegetarians.
NO vegetarians eat meat. Fish and chicken are meat. Anyone who eats ANY meat, however picky they are, is an omnivore, not a vegetarian.
Lacto vegetarians - milk, no eggs.
Ovo vegetarians - eggs, no milk.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians - eggs and milk
Strict vegetarians - strictly plant based diet. Some call it a vegan DIET (which is NOT the same as being vegan) No animal products. No dairy, no eggs, no honey, nothing animal-derived.
Vegans - plant-based diet (as above). Vegan implies moral concern for animals and extends to lifestyles as well. We avoid animal products in our consumables such as shampoo, make up, cleaning products, and so on. No leather, wool, suede, silk, and so on, and we avoid animal testing, circuses, traditional zoos & aquariums, horse/dog racing, bullfighting, etc.
First of all: FISH IS MEAT!!!! It was once a living animal, therefore it is meat.
Vegetarian: doesn't eat any meat, including fish and chicken
Some kinds of vegetarians don't eat eggs or milk.
Vegan: doesn't eat any meat, dairy, eggs, or honey.
