Answers:
vegetarians do not eat meat, and vegans do not eat any kind of animal product, and most vegans do not wear animal products!.
so a vegetarian would eat milk, cheese, and eggs, but a vegan would not!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. Vegans don't eat any animal products (honey, milk, eggs and fish included) while vegetarians consume a limited amount of animal products!. There are different types of vegetarians such as lacto-ovo (they eat dairy and egg products), pesco (they eat fish), pollo (they eat poultry), and lacto (they eat dairy)!. Some vegans might still wear animal products though but they won't consume the food (ex, they might wear leather shoes but don't eat meat)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are several forms of vegetarianism!. Vegan is one form, and the strictest!. As such they identify as vegans while several people of the other forms may just rely on the umbrella term!.

Vegan - dietary definition - won't consume any animal products whatsoever!. Most vegans extend this to a total lifestyle and will not use any animal products such as leather, fur, or by-products in cosmetics!.

Lacto-ovo vegetarian - most common!. Usually just called vegetarian!. Does not eat animal flesh that an animal had to die for!. Will eat milk and eggs!. Some may be just Lacto (milk) or just ovo (eggs)!. Usually will not eat gelatin (make of hoofs or rendered bone and fat)!.

Pescetarian - Lacto ovo vegetarian + will eat fish!.

There is also a category for one that eats a veg*n diet + poultry!. (polloterian or semi-vegetarian are often used!.)

These last 2 are not vegetarians, but will often see themselves as such since they do adhere to a dietary restriction!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

vegetarian will not eat any flesh
meaning no chicken, beef, pork, fish etc!. (i personally do not consider people who avoid all meats but eat fish/chicken vegetarian) but they will eat milk, eggs, dairy!.

a vegan will not eat any animal product!. no meat, or dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin, or anyother less obvious animal by products!. vegans will usually avoid using animals for anything else such as clothing or productsWww@FoodAQ@Com

A vegan is like a more 'hardcore' vegan!. Vegetarians avoid eating meat, but the vegan lifestyle is one that totally avoids animal products!. It's that a vegan does less than eat animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
