Here is what I gathered, hoping it is correct:
Vegans: a strict vegetarian; someone who eats no animal or dairy products
at all.



Vegetarian: eater of fruits and grains and nuts; someone who eats no meat
or fish or poultry.

The most common definition of vegetarianism, however, accepts the inclusion
of animal-based products such as honey, milk and other dairy products, as
well as eggs. This is more precisely called ovo-lacto vegetarianism.





Lacto Vegetarian:

A Lacto Vegetarian is someone who eats dairy products and plant-based foods
but not eggs.



Ovo Vegetarian:An Ovo Vegetarian is someone who eats eggs and plant-based
foods but no dairy products.



I don't know what one would call a person who ate no red meat, but ate
everything else.

That's almost me -- I 'hardly' eat red meat, 'hardly' eat pork, but I do;
but never would enter my mind to buy it or include it in any menu if it were
it not for DH.
