Answers:
get a few books at the library on cooking vegetarian or vegan foods*
find out all that you can and explore it*
Most dry pasta you buy in stores is vegan! And I suppose you'd be considered a semi-vegetarian cuz you eat chicken. If you stopped eating chicken you'd be a vegetarian but not vegan cuz you still drink milk. Hope this helps! =)
you fall under picky you are not vegan
You aren't a vegetarian until you give up meat as a whole. Your still a vegetarian even if you eat/drink eggs, milk or other dairy. Vegans don't eat meat, or eat/ drink any dairy products.
Why do you need to categorize yourself with this at all? If you eat chicken at ALL you are not a vegetarian. Vegetarians do not eat chicken or seafood at all, in no form at all! Vegetarians can eat eggs and drink milk - Lacto-ovo vegetarians. Not being mean, just truthful and blunt.
You need to check the labels. Some pastas have eggs...others don't. I wouldn't say you're vegetarian...I recently went back to being vegan. I don't eat any poultry, pork, beef, dairy or eggs. I have on occasion still have had fish but am cutting back. Just remember that it isn't always easy to make the change...if that's what you're considering. Some people can't do it all at once.
If you are still eating chicken then no you aren't vegetarian...but pasta is. if you are looking at becoming vegan then you should watch for pasta that has dairy and eggs.
Hope that answers your question.
That would mean you are a half vegan poultry veg but its ok because there is flour pasta too and I used to be a seafood veg so its all good
You are not technically a vegetarian but sounds like you are headed that way. Start reading ingredient lists-some pastas are not made with eggs, some foods you would be surprised have animal products in them. It's good to be in the habit of knowing what you are eating regardless of what "category" you are in.
"Pollo vegetarians" avoid red meat and fish but eat chicken. Also, just called "semi-vegetarian". That seems to be an adequate description of your diet. There are many different types, but I encourage you to read about the environmental and ethical advantages to cutting out chicken as well! Good luck!
don,t be affraid all you have to do is to fuiifiill the balance of you protein in your body,vitamin,mineral,fluid.
Picky. And I'm not being mean.
You're not a vegan- not even *close*
and you're not a vegetarian by a long shot either (sea food is meat)
You don't need a label you know, and if you really feel the need to have a label, then make sure you become a proper pescetarian/vegetarian before doing so.
And most pasta doesn't contain eggs, you just need to read the label.
I am not a vegetarian myself but I think I am on my way thanks to my teenage daughter who has been a vegetarian for years now....go figure.
Sounds like you are on your way to being a vegetarian, but not quite there yet. Depends on who you ask and how strict they are with it.
My daughter started out like you are now, she stood there for about 2 years, then she proceeded to remove all meats including seafood, chicken, tuna, etc. I suspect that she is getting ready to make the transformation to extreme vegan soon.
a Vegetarian doesn't eat meat but still eats eggs & milk.
a VEGAN stops eating all meat and everything that comes from an animal such as milk and eggs. This is extreme.
One thing that I have witness for myself first hand is that she is extremely healthy.... at her age she should be having acne problems but she has none. Her allergies, asthma, and illness have disappear. She rarely gets flu /colds.
Good luck with your journey!!!
:-)
if you want to quit eating chicken, you can buy fake chicken
and for some reason vegetarians can eat eggs, so you're ok...
you can make pasta yourself at home for pennys, just dont' add eggs
Well you really aren't anything. You could be considered a Vegitarian. You coulde also just be a picky eater! LOL!!
some vegetarians choose to eat dairy, fish and egg products so even if you drink milk you are still a vegetarian but If you eat chicken then you arent a vegetarian you just dont eat red meat. pasta contains egg but there are some that don't you just need to shop around.
You're an omnivore. Poultry is meat. I'm not being mean, it's just what you are. I personally do not believe there is such a thing as a povo-vegetarian or pesco-vegetarian. Flesh is flesh is flesh.
As for egg and dairy products, vegans do not consume or purchase any animal products (to include leather, silk, honey, dairy and eggs). Ovo/lacto-vegetarians do eat egg & dairy products. There are pastas available which are eggless (and some that are wheatless too) -- See the first link below. Many Asian noodles are vegan too.
Another thing to consider if you are trying to be careful, you may wish to avoid cheeses made with rennet. There is a link below (2nd link) is an info page about rennetless cheeses.
you fall in the category of lacto-vegetarians if u drink milk but not eat eggs!
if you eat eggs but not meat , u r a lacto-ova-vegetarian!
if u eat meat and sea foods u r a pure non-vegetarian!
here is your catagory:
"Pesco/pollo vegetarianism",
"pescetarianism",
"pollotariansm" or
"semi-vegetarianism"
ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/pescetarian...
Pasta is generally not made with any milk or eggs, but with durum wheat, also called semolina, and water, salt, oil, preservative, and then dried for storage and shipping. No eggs are included in the ingredients.
If you are allergic to gluten, there are alternative types of pasta, such as those made with rice, and these also are egg and milk free.
Only in very specific conditions and circumstances,such as the use of pasta that does contain egg, the fact that egg is included should be clearly and distinctly marked as such, such as the name "Egg Pasta" on the cover, as the title.
You REALLY need to do some research on this topic for yourself. The human body is designed as an OMNIVORE. We require both red and white meats, vegetables and fruits, grains and dairy products in order to meat our nutritional needs.
Many people embark on a vegetarian or Vegan diet for health or ethical reasons, but it is not as simple as just not eating certain foods. If you eliminate certain classes of foods from your diet, you need to know what vitamins, minerals and proteins that we get from those foods and replace them. Because legumes and nuts do contain proteins, they can be substituted for meats, but you need to eat them in VERY specific combinations and quantities to get the proper COMPLETE proteins that you need for optimum health.
If you plan on a long term Vegan or vegetarian diet, you will pro ably also need to look at supplements of some kind.
If there is a health food store in your area, they would be a good place to start. Also, read a few books on Nutrition or consult a nutritionist that specializes in vegetarian diets.
Done properly, a vegetarian diet can be healthful and energizing, providing proper nutritional balance; done poorly, it is a recipe for malnutrition and organ failure, ketosis, and amemia.
Good luck in your choices.
Nearly all dry pasta is 100% durum wheat and completely and utterly safe! Authentic Italian pasta seldom uses eggs, anyway. I always thought that adding egg to pasta was a bit... well, weird!
Egg pasta, although can be found in the dry section, is usually always in the fresh section.
So, stick with the 100% durum wheat kind and you'll be eating not only vegetarian pasta, but vegan pasta :-)

The omnivore argument above is so lame. Humans don't have claws, don't have proper canines, have the digestive system of a herbivore AND perspire, rather than pant.
If humans weren't meant to be vegan or vegetarian, we would die trying. Dogs (omnivores) and cats (carnivores) will die without taurine and cartine. The only animal-based vitamin that presents a problem is B12 (and only to vegans at that). B12 only appears in very small amounts in plant-based foods (the human body only needs small amounts anyway). It is suggested that intensive farming that has destroyed our soil has caused this problem in plant-based foods.
Supplements? Man, in this world, we all need supplements. Vegans and vegetarians probably need less than the meat eaters, who although may have higher B12 levels, probably have vitamin a-k defiencies, high cholesterol. Should I go on?
I eat lots of pasta (whole wheat) and there are no eggs in it. If you eat chicken and fish, you are an omnivore and fall under no vegetarian category.
There is no such thing as a semi vegetarian, pollo vegetarian or pesce-vegetarian. Those are made up oxymorons.
Just read the labels and it will tell you if there is eggs. Most pasta (like spagetti) don't have eggs, unless it says "egg noodles" (usually amish products).
dont worry about fitting into a catagory or label. If you eat chicken, you are an omnivore. If you eat no poultry or meat, but eat fish, you are a pescavore. If you eat no animal flesh at all, then you are vegetarian. Eat what suits you and dont worry about having a "title". Yes, pasta is vegetarian, but not vegan. You can get rice based pasta (Tinkyada brands is best) that have no eggs. Just make your own choices and dont worry about what others think
Read the label. Most pasta is just flour, water and salt. Egg noodles, contain egg (obviously). There are lots of asian pastas, like soba, udon, and rice flour. Read the label, most are egg free.
personally, i dont count you as any sort of vegetairan, because i beleive that vegetarians dont eat anything with flesh, but by deffinition, you fall under the catigory lacto-pesco-pollo-vegetarian
lacto meaning you drink milk, pesco meaning you eat seafood and pollo meaning you eat chicken. you said that you dont eat eggs, but if you eat products that have eggs in them such as many pasterys than you fall under the catigory ovo-lacto-pesco-pollo-vegetari... ovo meaning you eat eggs
if you eat chicken or fish then you automatically are not vegetarian. veggies can have egg products, vegans cant. they also can have dairy products (vegans cant, again) but once again, if you eat fish or poutry you arent vegetarain, your just a picky omnivore
It's vegitarian to begin with. The only catagory you fit under is meat eater.
To become a vegitarian you have to give up ALL animals. Which means no more fish or chicken.
u just eat funny.
You're a meat eater cause of the chicken you eat and the sea food. How much of that you eat depends on whether you're semi-vegetarian or nearly a vegetarian!
To answer the pasta part...
eggs are not eaten by vegans, but are by vegetarians.
