Are you still a vegetarian if you eat turkey?!


Question: Are you still a vegetarian if you eat turkey!?
I was doing a little research on becoming a vegetarian and it says that there are servral types of vegetarians! Is this true!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
these are the only types of vegetarian:

lacto vegetarian: no animal flesh, but does consume dairy products

ovo vegatarian: no animal flesh, consumes eggs

lacto-ovo vegetarian: no animal flesh

and vegans eat no animal products what so ever!. They dont even eat food products that have animal in them (for ex: no honey, no gelatin, no personal care products that were tested on animals)

a pescetarian, etc!. are not types of vegetarian!.

A VEGETARIAN DOES NOT EAT ANIMAL FLESH not even fish, shrimp, chicken, turkey, NOTHING!. Look it up in any vegetarian site!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As you can see from the number of thumbs down to answer #1, the answer is no!.

Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, poultry nor slaughter by-products!.

Some eat eggs, soem dairy, some niether, hence the lacto/ovo designations!. but generally speakign they are all called vegetarians!.

eg: I don't eat dairy, but i would never call myself an ovo-vegetarian, i just call myself a vegetarian and privately watch out for any dairy ingredients as I go!.

Words like semi/flexi/demi/partial etc are just made up phrases and not really welcomed by vegetarians as they confuse the issue and real definition!.

"FINGER" illustrates the problem perfectly!. If you eat turkey, all vegetarians get generalised and insulted!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

LOL!.!.!.no!. turkey is a living ANIMAL, not a plant!.
Vegetarian=vegetable!.

plants!.

there are vegans, who do not eat eggs, cheese or any animal by product!.

then, there are vegetarians who eat eggs, cheese, milk, yogurt etc!., since their vegetarianism is based on morals, such as not killing animals for food!. But!.!.!.since animals are not killed to produce by products, they do not see it as being morally decadent to eat by products!.

good!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

What's the point in being a vegetarian if you pick and choose between what animals that you want to eat!?

How is a turkey any more justified than a chicken or cow!?

I don't understand vegetarians sometimes, if you're opposed to the suffering of animals or the 'negative' attributes of eating them, why then make exceptions for animals that are just as badly off!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not exactly!. Vegetarian, as we commonly say it, usually means ovo-lacto vegetarian, a person who consumes no animal flesh but will eat eggs and dairy products!. A pure vegetarian, or a vegan, consumes absolutely no animal products whatsoever, including dairy, eggs, and honey (though some vegans as I understand it do eat honey!.) Some people still call themselves vegetarians though even if they eat only one meat such as fish or poultry!. I personally think that you're only vegetarian if your food is animal flesh free, but it doesn't really matter to me!. Call yourself whatever you want, only you know the truth of your decisions!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it is true!.!.!.!. but as far as i am concerend you are not vegetarian if you eat ANY meat!. Which means a part of anything living!. Milk is not a piece of the animal, it leaves the body but the body is still complete without it!.

Bottom line!.!.!. No you are not a vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, you aren't!. Vegetarians don't eat animal flesh!.

if you can grow a turkey from a seed in your garden, you can eat it and be a vegetarian!.

Vegetarian in my books means that you don't eat any meat what so ever!.!. anything that once had a face on it is meat!.
Anyone who still eats meat is not a vegetarian!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, unless turkeys do are not vegetables, beans, grains or dairy!.

Therefore turkey is not vegetarianWww@FoodAQ@Com

Haha you are only a vegetarian if you eat no meat whatsoever!.

If you eat turkey you are an omnivore, plain and simple!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

vegetarians don't eat meat!. turkey is meat!. therefore!.!.!. i seriously doubt it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
