I am a vegetarian. I am not vegan. Vegans eat nothing that comes from animals in any way. No milk, no cheese, no eggs. I do not eat any meat, chicken, fish, seafood, etc. Nothing that has a face or a mother. But I do eat eggs, cheese, etc. However I have been moving toward soy milk rather than cow milk. I get plenty of protein from soy based meat alternatives.

A vegetarian doesn't eat any , some vegetarians are more strick and don't eat fish, gelatin or camine. A vegan doesn't eat anything that comes from an animal including milk, cheese, eggs, honey and all the rest. Vegans also don't use or wear anything that comes from an animal such as fur, some cleaning supplies and other products/

I think you have had a fairly accurate response to this question but I will just give you a short and simple difference. A vegetarian is someone who will not eat any meat such as fish, chicken, beef, pork and all the other meats. These people however usually eat the by products of animals such as eggs, milk, cheese and other dairy related foods. Vegans on the other hand do not eat meat or the by products of animals. They will mainly eat your fruits and vegs, wheat and any products that do not come from animals at all. Hope this was a helpful short definition!
