Why is vegetarianism generally considered a diet, while veganism is considered a lifestyle?

Question by fred on "Veganism":

I noticed that not only does wikipedia have them marked like that, but most people consider veganism a lifestyle choice and vegetarianism just a dietary choice. Is there any distinction, or is this a matter of diction?

Answer by Zach
Because that's what they are. Vegetarianism only governs what you eat, veganism is an attempt to remove all animal products from your life. Anonymous, vegans do use wool, it's ok as long as it doesn't harm the animal, which sheering doesn't.
