not vegetarian.
There are strict vegans-no animals, eggs and seafood.
Personally I LOVE SEAFOOD. Stay away from shellfish, lots of cholesterol! (but I do LOVE LOBSTER AND SHRIMP!!!)
If you can't give it up, then go with "everything in moderation." i think that's a good rule for pretty much everything.
If you like them then you should eat them but they are animals so no they are not vegetarian.
If you eat seafood you are not a vegetarian
There are different levels of vegetarianism, some people just omit meat...vegans don't eat any animal product at all...it's your decision. Don't worry about the label.
a no
Nope
seafood is definately not vegitarian. eggs are. eggs are not vegan.
they are vegatarian as a pose to vegan which would not bhe allowed
do fish scientifically feel less pain when killed than a pig?
and why would it be ok to eat a baby chicken but not an adult?
for sure the seafood is not a vegetable, but eggs...sure, they're not animals for sure...if they were they wouldn't sell the egg
Eat what you want to eat. Do go with the trends.
vegetarians don't like to eat meat, and some vegetarians say that seafood is fine.
vegans dont eat anything that comes from animals, so they cannot eat fish or eggs.
but if your vegetarian you're allowed to eat fish (not technically meat) and eggs (not actually meat).
its all your choice, typically only vegans dont eat eggs, and vegetarians it varys whether or not you eat fish and stuff
depends on what you believe. when catholics abstain from meat during lent they are allowed to eat eggs and seafood. ive heard vegetarians say that they dong eat anything with a face. and then their are vegans who dont eat/drink any animal products (milk, cheese). so its up to you to decided what is right and wrong to eat.
eggs are unborn animals so technicly they are not vegetarian also seafood is shell fish so they too are animals eat what you want to vegetarian is and should be about choice and if you give up eating all the stuff that walks around then that is a start
Sea food is considered FISH.... if FISH is not a veggie, then eating seafood is NOT eating vegetarian.... Eggs? Well you KNOW they come from the back end of a CHICKEN... a chicken is poultry, and poultry IS meat---and anything that COMES from anything MEAT is NOT vegetarian either... Basically, to be a complete vegetarian, you must only eat those things grown from the ground... PLANTS.
it depends on what type of a vegetarian ur talkin about.
Lacto Ovo Vegetarian
A lacto ovo vegetarian does not eat meat, fish or poultry, but eats eggs and milk. They eat eggs and products made with eggs in them, yogurt, cheese, milk and ice creams.
Vegan
A vegan does not eat any fish, meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products or foods that contain any of these products. They also do not use any non-food items that contain products from animals, including wool from sheep, leather and silk. Vegans often do not eat honey, because bees may be killed while harvesting it.
Macrobiotics
A macrobiotic diet is mainly vegetarian, but macrobiotic diets often include seafood. In this diet all other meat products are excluded, as are eggs and dairy products. They also do not eat "nightshade vegetables" (potato, pepper and eggplant), refined sugar and tropical fruits. This diet contains many foods found in Asian countries such as miso soup, root vegetables (daikon and lotus) and sea vegetables (seaweed, kelp, arame).
Fruitarian
A fruitarian is a person who only eats fruits and vegetables that are actually classified as fruits such as avocados, nuts, seeds, eggplant, zucchini and tomatoes.
Raw or Living Food Diet
One who follows a raw food diet is a person who for the most part only eats raw foods that are not cooked. One who follows this type of diet believes that cooking changes food in a negative way and makes it less nutritious, diminishing the vitamin and mineral contents of the food. Most people who follow a raw-food diet only eat between 50% to 80% of their food raw.
Vegetarian...does that word resemble vegetable? Ask yourself seriously if eggs, fish, crabs and shrimp can grow in a vegetable patch.
Eggs are vegetarian, but seafood is not. Seafood is animal flesh. Eggs are unfertilized, therefore they are not animal flesh and do not have the potential to become an animal.

Eggs are vegetarian. Animal flesh of any kind is not, including seafood.
Vegetarians can eat eggs and dairy products, but not all do.
Vegans avoid ALL animal products.
Neither one eats seafood.
Eggs are vegetarian, seafood is not.
It's a NO! on the seafood ... and a qualified yes on the eggs.
Basically, if you feel you can't live without seafood, then eat it, BUT ... don't then call yourself a vegetarian, because you won't be one, and it's only going to further confuse the non-vegetarians around you as to what constitutes a vegetarian diet. If you feel that you have to call yourself by any label, then go with pescatarian.
As to the eggs, one of my non-vegetarian acquaintances calls them "chook abortions" (chook being Aussie slang for chicken, of course).
Its all a matter of levels, or extremes if you will. Eating seafood, eggs, and animal byproducts would probably be considered semi-vegetarain. It really just comes down to how you feel about animals being pulled out of the ocean and suffocating, or the famous Chicken Video hosted by Pam Anderson. If you like eggs like me, i suggest buying eggs from free range, no antibiotics or hormone, grain fed chickens, because I honestly dont know how those poor chickens from regular brands do it to pop one of those JUMBO XTRA LARGE eggs from their tiny bodies. I suppose it would feel like popping out a few 10lb babies every year.On the other end of the spectrum, I once saw a special on a couple who ate nothing but raw veggies and green gooey looking shakes from greens all day every day, and sure, they MIGHT live longer than the average person, but I would like to think that living life to the fullest is not going to extremes in either direction, whether it be eating beef like most of obese America eats ( I use to work at a buffet restaurant in my younger days, and to this day I still wonder WHY, WHY?? does most of the US believe they should get "their moneys' worth" at a buffet, and $6 spent MUST be justified by exactly 6lbs of food in one sitting) Also I dont think denying yourself the pleasures of the palate God gave us simply to live in this world a bit longer is appropriate. So to answer your question, Id say go ahead with whatever you feel comfortable first, theres always room for improvement in your vegetarian diet later when you feel more comfortable and if not, then at least you know you are putting your part in.
God loves us, that's why he created all kinds of animals for us, to enjoy their milk and meat. why you wanna be a vegetrian?
There are several types of vegetarians:
Lacto-Ovo: do not eat meat of fish -- which includes all seafoods--; but do eat eggs, dairy products and other plant matter.
Ovo-Vegetarians: do not eat meat, fish or dairy; but do eat eggs and plant matter.
Lacto-Vegetarians: do not eat meat, fish or eggs; but do eat dairy products and plant matter.
Pescetarianism is a dietary choice, in which a person — known as a pescetarian — will not eat the flesh of any animals other than types of seafood. Other animal products like eggs and dairy may be part of a pescetarian diet.
I highly recommend that you do reseach on vegetarianism before you start any of the lifestyles; so that you make sure that you get all the vitamins and minerals required for your health.
Seafood consists of animals that have been killed. Eggs may or may not have been fertilised, so may or may not contain a potential life.
They are both a source of protein, but then so are nuts, pulses, seeds and grains.
First of all - have you any allergies or intolerances that would prevent your eating (f'r instance) nuts or wheat?
How old are you? If you're going through adolescence I'd suggest you change your diet slowly cos your body's got a lot of changes to cope with anyway!
Personally, I've been veggie for 41 years and very happy. However I've friends who've tried it and been miserable. Given a choice, I'd rather see everyone in my village do one veggie day per week than convert one neighbour to total veganism. It would mean less suffering.
All my mates know I'm veggie, the only put-down I get is "Gosh, I thought vegetarians were SKINNY!" My existence proves that it's possible to be reasonably fit and presentable without eating meat.
Be gentle with your parents - if they want you to start by still eating fish, go along with that and go veggie in stages. Every journey begins with a footstep - your question was that first footstep!
Good luck!
seafood is not vegetarian, but eggs are. eggs aren't vegan, and their is still a lot of animal cruelty involved in how they are produced and manufactured. if you're doing it because you're against cruelty to animals, you should probably consider being a vegan, because animal products usually cause as much damage to animals, unless you buy 'free range'. people who eat no meat except for seafood are called piscetarians
Lacto-ovo vegetarians (like me!) can drink milk, eat cheese (dairy basically), and eggs. A pescatarian can eat seafood.
You should eat what you're okay with eating. A vegetarian is not okay with eating fish. They wouldn't be vegetarian if they did.
Eggs are up to the individual. You can be vegetarian and eat eggs, yes, but not all vegetarians eat them.
seafood is definitely NOT vegetarian
some vegetarians still eat eggs. if your still gona eat eggs only buy free range.
I dont eat eggs, fish or dairy coz i'm vegan.
yes.
