I've always figured the heirarchy goes about like this:

1. Well-balanced omnivorous diet.
2. Well-balanced vegetarian diet.
3. Poorly-balanced vegetarian diet.
4. Well-balanced vegan diet.
5. Poorly-balanced omnivorous diet.
5. Poorly-balanced vegan diet.

I'm no vegan sympathizer, but I think you can pretty easily switch 3 and 4.

Yeah, probably. I've known a few vegetarian buddies whose diet consisted primarily of 7-Layer Burritos, and that can't be terribly healthy. But there's also a degree of difficulty factor here. Going vegan is far more a total lifestyle commitment than going vegetarian.
