Vegetarians don't eat meat.

Vegans don't eat ANYTHING having to do with animal products what so ever or food that has been cooked in the same location as animal products. You'd be surpassed the amount of things you can't have when your vegan >.<

But both live much longer and healthier lives than meat eaters!

My mother is a true vegetarian. Her system cannot tolerate meat and it makes her very ill. In her opinion, Vegans are just fashionable vegetarians...just because it's the "in" thing. LOL! I think she's entitled to that opinion because she get's a lot of attitude from people at restaurants when they screw up her order and she has to send it back. They think she's just being a pain in the azz. I've told her to get sick on the table and see what kind of pain she can cause them.

Vegetarians don't eat meat. Vegans don't eat meat, don't use butter, don't eat ice cream that is made with dairy, don't drink or use milk, don't eat or use eggs, don't eat, etc. Any food that comes from eating an animal or using an animal byproduct (such as dairy products) a vegan doesn't touch. Vegetarians are understandable but vegans are nutty fruit baskets. Oh, wait nuts and fruit are one of the few things vegans can eat..... crap......

Vegetarians only don't eat meat (which includes fish), vegans eat nothing that come from animal such as eggs, dairy, honey, gelatin, and bug dyes. Also, many vegans refuse to wear leather, wool, or furs.

Vegetarians, like myself, don't consume any meat of any kind-red meat, so forth(however, some eat seafood). Vegans don't consume meat or dairy products. There's no way I could be a vegan because I love cheese and ice cream way too much.

Vegetarians don't eat meat, but still consume dairy products such as milk and cheese. Vegans do not use or consume any animal products, including dairy, eggs, leather, wool, etc. However, it's pretty difficult to be a true vegan unless you live by yourself in a cave or something, because so many things are made from animal products in one form or another - wallpaper and medicine, for example.
