A vegetarian does not eat meat, game,poultry, fish, crustacea, shellfish, or products of animal slaughter such as animal-derived gelatin and rennet.There are a number of vegetarian diets. A lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but excludes eggs, an ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products, and a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products. A vegan diet excludes all animal products, includingdairy products, eggs, and honey. Vegetarianism may be adopted for ethical, health, environmental, religious, political, cultural, aesthetic, economic, or other reasons.
Semi-vegetarian diets consist largely of vegetarian foods, but may include fish and sometimes poultry, as well as dairy products and eggs. With these diets, the word "meat" is often defined as only mammalian flesh. A pescetarian diet, for example, includes "fish but no meat".The colloquial application of the word "vegetarian" to such diets has led vegetarian groups, such as the Vegetarian Society, to clarify that such fish or poultry-based diets are not vegetarian, due to the fact that fish and birds are animals.
Well.... I THINK i'm the Semi one. According to my mum, being a vegetarian is a good way of diet because vegetarians would have a longer life compared to the non-vegetarians. So... I'm supporting vegetarians here. Just like those Macbeth shoes... although sometimes I do eat meat...
