Vegetarian vs. Vegan
What's the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan? I heard about celebrities being vegans now and I am confused. Is being vegan the same as being a vegetarian or are they completely different?

Given that I'm the fourth person to answer, you probably don't need to hear this, but: vegetarians don't eat animals, and vegans don't eat animals OR animal-related products. That means that vegetarians eat cheese, yogurt, and honey, while vegans do not.

A vegetarian doesnt eat meat. A vegan doesnt eat or use anything that comes from an animal.

Here's the difference...
Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish or poultry but they tend to consume dairy products and eggs. Vegetarians also do not eat products that contain gelatine or other meat-based products.
Vegans eliminate all animal products from their diet, including dairy and eggs. Those following a vegan lifestyle generally do not wear leather and avoid products made from animals such as wool, silk and down.
