A vegetarian does not eat meat.  This usually means not eating anything that
requires an "animal" to be killed (as opposed to vegetable or mineral).

This means that dairy products and eggs can be eaten.

A vegan eats as if there were no other animals on the planet, ie farming does
not include any animals in any way, hence not even dairy products or eggs are
eaten.

I'm sure there are precise definitions at www.beyondveg.com .
