What happened to vegetarianism?

Once upon a time there was this thing called vegetarianism, meaning people who didn't eat meat but ate other things that come from animals: eggs, dairy, honey, etc.

Nobody seems to be vegetarian anymore. It's either vegan or non-vegan these days. Any reason why? Why did veganism become so mainstream and push vegetarianism to the side?
