Vegetarians do not eat meat, and depending upon their morals or preferences, may or may not eat eggs or dairy. Most commonly, they do eat eggs and dairy.
Vegans do not consume, use, or buy any product derived from animals, including eggs, milk, honey, leather, wool, beeswax, and anything dyed red, in case it's an insect based dye.
Nutritionally, the only difference is that vegans need to take a B12 and amino acid supplement, since they have no dietary source of these nutrients.
You can get all the nutrients you need on a lacto-ovo (eggs and milk) vegetarian diet without supplements.

The first 2 answers are partially right. The part about the vegans is right. The part about the vegetarians needs clarification. There are different types of vegetarians.Lacto-Oval vegetarians don't eat any flesh but they eat eggs, milk and cheese and they also eat any dishes prepared with fat from animals. Then you have Vegetarians that will not eat any flesh or by products but they still use soaps and lotion made with animal fat and collagen, wear leather and use fur from animals. Vegans on the other hand will not ingest any animal by products not even thru the skin (e.g. lotion or soap etc.)

vegetarians don't eat meat. within the heading of vegetarians there are people who eat no meat of any sort (including poultry & fish), people who only don't eat red meat, and people who eat no meat except seafood. the difference with vegans is that they eat no meat of any sort (like strict vegetarians), but they take it a step further & don't eat any animal products (such as eggs, milk, cheese, butter, etc...).

Vegans will not touch anything that has any form of animal product in it. No meat, milk, eggs, honey anything, also including wool and leather and sheep skin.
Vegetarians eat no meat, and some wear not leather, wool, ect. but they still (can) eat eggs,cheese,honey, and milk.
hope that helps

Vegan does not eat any meat or dairy products or anything that comes from an animal, while vegetarians do not eat meat, but they still eat dairy.

Vegans don't eat meat or anything that comes from an animal, eggs, milk, yougurt, etc. Some vegans do not even cook their foods because a lot of things you cook with, butter and such is from an animal or one of it's ingredients contains something from an animal.
Vegitarians don't eat meat.

Not only do vegans not eat meat or dairy I believe that the food is always raw. Some vegetarians eat dairy and eggs, that is something a vegan would never consider

Why does someone ask this EVERY SINGLE DAY? A vegan is a strict vegitarian- no dairy products. Absolutely nothing that came from an animal.
