Answers: my friend says she is a vegetarian yet she eats all white fish, chicken, turkey and pork. she says she is , because a vegetarian is some one who doesnt eat blood i.e red meat.

Sigh.
Vegetarian is a blanket term. It covers the 5 levels. There's none of this "pollo pesce semi" crap. Five. That's it.
NO vegetarians eat meat. Fish and chicken are meat.
Lacto vegetarians - milk, no eggs.
Ovo vegetarians - eggs, no milk.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians - eggs and milk
Strict vegetarians - strictly plant based diet. Some call it a vegan DIET (which is NOT the same as being vegan) No animal products. No dairy, no eggs, no honey, nothing animal-derived.
Vegans - plant-based diet (as above). Vegan implies moral concern for animals and extends to lifestyles as well. We avoid animal products in our consumables such as shampoo, make up, cleaning products, and so on. No leather, wool, suede, silk, and so on, and we avoid animal testing.
wow, that is SO incorrect.
you are right, eating sushi, fish, chicken, ham, turkey, pork OR ANY MEAT than you aren't a vegetarian.
Wow, that is the craziest thing I have EVER heard.
Vegetarians do not eat MEAT. Meat would be any sort of animal flesh, be it seafood/fish, turkey, beef, pork, chicken, etc.
There is blood in all meat, meat that humans eat is essentially the fat, muscle and gristle and bones of animals... blood supplies all animal flesh whether it's beef or chicken or fish...
Wow, I am reeling over her definition of vegetarianism.
Wow. I really am speechless.
No, it is not-but if she is so deluded she tries to say she is you will never change her mind. You could tell her the word for what she is is "omnivore" and let her look it up.
Vegetarians dont eat meat.....now I do know some that will eat fish, seafood, eggs and dairy products. Their feeling is warm blooded animals they wont eat. Its all a matter of choice and your choices for your life and what you choose or not choose to eat. Nothing is engraved in stone as to what your choices are.
i would say she is a semi-vegi
eating cows is less bad than eating smaller animals though cause a cow provides more food
vegetarian is not eating any animal at all - fish, chicken, pigs, etc
but vegetarians still eat eggs, milk, etc
unless they are vegan
Definitely not vegetarian.
Vegetarian means usually you get your sustenance from plant foods.
Vegetarians do not consume any flesh. I'm not sure but she might be a pescetarian (although they don't eat pork.) Hope I helped. Have a happy new year!
She is definitely not a vegetarian. She just doesn't eat red meat.
Vegetarian: the practice of not eating meat, poultry or fish or their by-products, some eat eggs and milk.
Vegan: does not eat animal flesh (meat, poultry, fish and seafood), animal products (eggs and dairy), and usually excludes honey and the wearing and use of animal products (leather, silk, wool, lanolin, gelatin...) it is really more of a lifestyle than a diet.
Dietary Vegan: follows a vegan diet, but doesn't necessarily try and exclude non-food uses of animals.
Semi vegetarian: Eliminates most meat, but may eat fish or chicken. does NOT eat eggs or drink milk. (this person is NOT a true vegetarian, as they eat meat.)
Semi Ovo vegetarian: Eliminates most meat, but may eat fish or chicken. Eats eggs. Does NOT drink milk or milk products. (this person is NOT a true vegetarian, as they eat meat.)
Semi Ovo Lacto vegetarian: Eliminates most meat, but may eat fish or chicken. This person eats eggs and milk products. (this person is NOT a true vegetarian, as they eat meat.)
It sounds like your friend needs to do some research and realize that the way they kill cows in slaughterhouses is much the same if not better than the way they treat chickens and pigs and other animals too. Check out peta.com and peta2.com, they have lots of slaughterhouse videos and stuff like that. But yeah, your friend is definitly wrong.
No, she's totally incorrect. A vegetarian is someone who does not eat any type of animal including beef, pork, turkey, poultry, veal, fish, or any other animal meat. A vegan is someone who doesn't eat any animal products - meat, eggs, dairy, etc.
She's probably just trying to sound cool or sophisticated by saying she is a vegetarian. D=
But its good that she's not eating red meat as it contains alot of fats and cholesterol and isnt very good for you.
ahahahahah. *pause* NO! My friend says she is a pollo-pesce-lacto-ovo-vegetarian ha!
Next time, haul out a dictionary.
VEGETARIAN - a person who does not eat meat, and sometimes other animal products, especially for moral, religious, or health reasons
That's the definition! It speaks for itself.
No, she's definatley not a veg. The point of vegitarian-ism is not to kill the animals and to let them live. White meat comes from animals, and to obtain the white meat, you must kill the animal. She needs to learn some stuff....
PS- i like your saying "bull spit" lol
No. It isn't. Vegetarians do not eat animal flesh.
http://www.vegsoc.org/info/definitions.h...
She doesn't sound very bright.
Taber's Medical Dictionary give the following definition:
"Vegetarianism: The belief and practice of eating vegetables and fruits only, may or may not exclude dairy products."
The American Dietetic Association states: "A vegetarian diet is defined as one that does not include meat, fish or fowl."
http://www.eatright.org/cps/rde/xchg/ada...
Some people will insist they are "vegetarian" when they eat fish, poultry or whatever. In my experience, they usually ignore it when you show them the definition and go on saying they are "vegetarian" anyway.
Nope. Your friend is a delusionarian. Some vegetarians may eat dairy or eggs, but anyone who eats poultry, fish or pork is definitely not a vegetarian of any stripe. If you want some facts to throw out your friend, check out the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarian
(You will note the definition states: "Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes all animal flesh, including poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, and slaughter by-products.")
And here's a dictionary definition:
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary
(Note the definition says that it's a diet that consists "wholly of vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, and sometimes eggs or dairy products." Nothing there about fish, poultry or pork.)
And one last one:
http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-907...
(Note here that this article specifically states: "All forms of flesh (meat, fowl, and seafood) are excluded from all vegetarian diets.")
Have fun doing the "I am so right!" dance for your friend! LOL
well whats the use of being vegetarian
Your friend is crazy. Vegetarians don't eat dead animals. She's just an omnivore who doesn't eat dead cows. She's several species away from vegetarianism. What the H-E-double hockeysticks ever gave her the idea that pigs and chickens don't have blood?!? Seriously, the fish thing comes up a lot, but I've never heard someone try to pass off a dead pig as vegetarian. The Vegetarian Society adopted the definition of the word "vegetarian" in 1847 and it's meant the same thing ever since. Look here: http://www.vegsoc.org/info/definitions.h...
Your friend is a nut job. A vegetarian doesn't eat any animals. Not just cows. Pigs, chickens and turkeys bleed too! what sense does that make?
She's what is called a pollo-terian they still eat meat, just not red meat. The correct definition of a vegetarian is someone that only eats vegetables, vegan eat no animal products what-so-ever. However vegetarian has the 4 different overall types, Vegan, Vegetarian, pollo-terain, and pesco-terian (which I am) meaning that the only meat we eat is fish. So, you are both right.
ROFL thats just as vegetarian as eating nothing but cow for every meal every day for your life.
Many people use to call themself vegetarian and do like your friend but these days most are educated so they made up new words like flexitarian so they can call themself something although that is rearly an omnivore just like someone who eats cow.
cow is just one animal. thats like saying your vegetarian for not eating kangaroo or your vegetarian because you dont eat puppy dogs or something stupid like that.
use that on her might work.
Check the link i posted it defines all the types of vegetarian and vegan and behond
It sounds like she has an undisciplined approach to her diet. Unless the majority of her diet is plant-based ... I mean 70-90% . .. she would not fall into the rule of thumb even for flexitarian vegetarians. "Strict" vegetarians eat no meat at all . .. she certainly is NOT a "strict" vegetarian.
NO she is NOT a vegetarian.
definition: a vegetarian does not eat any type of meat or fish; the only thing a vegetarian eats that is related to animals is diary products
:)
She's a meat eater, and an idiot if she thinks that's vegetarian. She's eating flesh, let her know about that lol
Vegetarian is someone who does NOT eat the flesh of an animal: fish, cow, pig, bird.
She's a blanco vegetarian
It's a new thing
Lacto Vegetarians consume dairy. Ovo Vegetarians eat eggs, and Blanco vegetarians only eat white meat.
She is not a vegetarian. A vegetarian doesn't eat meat! I eat fish on occasions, but not very often. I am a vegetarian. Tell her she is 100% not a vegetarian.
I hope this helps!
Happy 2008! :]
