The word "vegetarian" is a generic blanket term used to describe anybody who does not eat meat, poultry, fish, or seafood!. This encompasses vegans and also the various vegetarian sub-groups!. Vegetarians are generally those people who have chosen a diet with far less restrictions than those chosen by a vegan!.
The differences between the various vegetarian sub-groups may appear to be small, but they are very important to the members who belong to each groups!. In many cases the distinctions are important dietary or ethical decisions taken by the individual!.
Here are the various vegetarian sub-groups:
SEMI-VEGETARIAN

Yes, you should definitely become a pescetarian :D It's a great way to live and if you ever decide to switch to vegetarianism, it would be really easy!. Basically pescetarians don't eat any meat except for fish!. So no chicken, poultry, red meat or pork!. You can still eat seafood though, like shrimp, lobster and crab!. It's actually a very simple diet and pretty easy, too :D Well good luck to both you and your sister!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Chicken is not part of a pescatarian diet, no matter what anyone posts here!. It seems a bit like splitting hairs to start labeling diets by the kinds of meats you eat!. The various labels for types of vegetarian refer to how encompassing your sense of compassion for fellow living creatures!. Limiting your meat choices to fish still makes you a meat eater - which is just like a vegetarian except you eat meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Erin - vegetarians don't eat any flesh that comes from an animal, and a fish happens to be an animal!. If you eat fish and call yourself a "vegetarian" - you are not a vegetarian, but a vegetarian's a**hole!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
why don't you eat what you want to eat and don't worry about pesky labels!? life's to short! :) Basically its the same as vegetarian, but you eat fish too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
A pescetarian diet is very healthy!. Pescetarians eat a vegetarian diet that includes fish and seafood!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
it's not as bad!. You pretty much get to eat chicken and fish, i am a pescartarian!.
