There are numerous types of veganism lol. truly though there is and many different rules and things that people follow i was once confused too but i have to vegan friends and they both have different diet beliefs one eats no meat at all i mean at all it makes her ill if she does and the other only eats free range meats and only certian types like poultry and they werent killed they died naturally. Hope that helps its all different
there all types of vegetarians, for example, I dont eat red meat but I eat plenty of Fowl and Fish. I dont consider myself a vegan though
cut and dry there not vegetarians if they eat chicken
hey there. i think there are different types of vegetarians, i also know a person that eats chicken but is a vegetarian. i think its alright coz there are different types of vegetarians!
im totally on your side
good luck
I believe the true meaning of being vegetarian is not knowingly eating meat of any kind. Eggs/Fish I accept. But not chicken. You can't tell me your a vegetarian, and then order chicken nuggets! It's okay if you choose to not eat other meats but eat chicken, but just don't call yourself a vegetarian. That's my belief.
a vegitarian doesn't eat meat period, so in my opinion they are just picky eaters.
Whatever they like to call or think of themselves is none of your business... much like your diet is nobody else's business..People ususally were just called humans or well, people, until they came out with all the labels that just contributed to confusion, miscommunication and for some, a feeling of moral, ethical and intellectual superiority over others (none of which is true anyway)
There are several different variations of the vegetarian diet. Strict vegetarians, called vegans, eat no animal products at all. The staples of their diets are fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans and peas), grains, seeds, and nuts. Lacto-vegetarians eat dairy products in addition to plant foods. Lacto-ovo vegetarians include dairy products and eggs as well as plant foods in their diets.
People who eat animal flesh (meat, fish, chicken) are not considered to be vegetarians.

If you eat ANY animal flesh!! Hello? ANY MEAT!!!
Quit saying you are when your not !!!this IS VERY ANNOYING!!!
yes they are still vegetarian.
but not vegan
vegans dont eat any animal bi-products.
there are chicketarians
and fishitarians
and birditarians
I try not to eat so much meat, and sometimes I don't count chicken as meat, and certainly not fish.
Ok, vegetarians don't eat any meat but do eat dairy and eggs(generally free-range).
Vegans don't eat any meat or dairy or eggs and neither will they wear animal skins(inc.leather).
People who don't fit within the criteria listed are deluded fools if they claim to be vegetarian/vegan.
All other categories (piscatarian etc) are just labels for self righteous picky eaters.

From Encarta:
veg·e·tar·i·an
noun (plural veg·e·tar·i·ans)

From Cambridge Dictionary:
vegetarian
noun [C] (UK INFORMAL veggie)
a person who does not eat meat for health or religious reasons or because they want to avoid cruelty to animals
From the oldest vegetarian organization in the world, the Vegetarian Society... the one that coined the phrase "vegetarian":
We define a vegetarian as someone living on a diet of grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits, with or without the use of dairy products and eggs. A vegetarian does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, or slaughter by-products.
So... where in any of these definitions of the word vegetarian does it include eating chicken? Nowhere. Vegetarians don't eat chicken... ever.
while they still are eating a healthier diet than a traditional meat eater.. they simply do not fit the DEFINITION of vegetarian.. CHicken is meat, fish is meat.. IT is a pet peeve of mine too.. without a definition, "Vegetarian" doesn't mean anything...
good for them for eating healthier, but PLEASE don't call themselves vegetarian.. it only adds to the confusion.
Some of the other posters are correct. There are different kinds of vegetarians. Five, to be precise.
Lacto, ovo, lacto-ovo, strict, and vegan.
NONE of them eat ANY meat. Fish and chicken are meat.
If someone wants to call themselves "flexitarian" or "Pescetarian" or whatever else... fine. But those are levels of OMNIVORISM, NOT vegetarianism, and they should not be calling themselves vegetarians.
I've never heard someone still call themselves vegetarian that eats chicken...guess it must exist though..
For me personally as a vegetarian...red meat and veal and lamb are the grossest meats to eat followed very closely by pigs last would be birds on the gross scale...
I couldnt sit opposite a boyfriend who's eating a steak for example and even after mince meat (ground beef) there will be no kissing! No way..
