The word "vegetarian" is a generic blanket term used to describe anybody who does not eat meat, poultry, fish, or seafood!. This encompasses vegans and also the various vegetarian sub-groups!. Vegetarians are generally those people who have chosen a diet with far less restrictions than those chosen by a vegan!.
The differences between the various vegetarian sub-groups may appear to be small, but they are very important to the members who belong to each groups!. In many cases the distinctions are important dietary or ethical decisions taken by the individual!.
Here are the various vegetarian sub-groups:
SEMI-VEGETARIAN

The best answer that I can think to give you is from the dictionary!.
Vegetarian - noun - a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc!.
Vegan - noun - A vegetarian who eats plant products only, especially one who uses no products derived from animals, as fur or leather!. Coined by Donald Watson to distinguish those who abstain from all animal products (eggs, cheese, etc!.) from those who merely refuse to eat the animals!.

Vegetarians don't eat dead animals, so no meat and no slaughter byproducts!.
Vegans don't eat, use, wear, purchase or otherwise consume anything of animal origin whatsoever, regardless of whether the animal died for it!. So no meat, no slaughter byproducts, no eggs, no dairy, no honey, no leather, suede, fur, wool, down, silk, and no consumer goods made with animal ingredients or animal testing!.
(Samuel F is highly confused about protein!. Protein is the building block of life, meaning plants are made of protein, too! Protein is abundant on a plant-based diet and does NOT need to be supplemented with pills or powders!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetarians have made a decision not to eat meat as a rule!. There are several kinds of vegetarians- some still eat fish, for example, as its not a red meat!.
Vegans, however, don't eat any kind of meat whatsoever, but take it to the next level- they don't consume animal byproducts either!. They don't have things like milk, cheese, (any dairy), eggs, gelatin, etc!. True vegans also do not wear animal products- no fur, no leather!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
