You are not a vegetarian if you eat seafood!.

I respect vegetarians for at least doing something, but I think a lot of them are ignorant about how much the dairy industry is related to the meat industry!. Spent cows and chickens are killed for meat!. Male offspring of milk cows (who have to give birth to give milk) often become veal!. I can't imagine a single vegetarian who isn't disgusted by veal, but they're supporting the industry by drinking milk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Some vegans may criticize vegetarians, but most of us were vegetarians at one time ourselves!. I don't see any point in criticizing vegetarians; they are doing a whole lot more than most people to ease animal suffering!. If I hear a vegetarian talking about eggs and dairy as "cruelty-free" I will let them know the truth, but that's not to criticize their choice, it's to make sure they're armed with the facts!.

Vegetarians don't eat dead animals!. That includes sea creatures, which are certainly not plant!. Vegetarians don't eat fish, crustaceans, mollusks or any other sea creature!. Each vegetarian makes his or her own call on foods like dairy products and eggs, which come from living animals!.

The definition of vegetarian, by the people who coined the word in the 1840s: http://www!.vegsoc!.org/info/definitions!.h!.!.!.

And what they have to say about fish: http://www!.vegsoc!.org/fish/index!.htmlWww@FoodAQ@Com

There is no answer to your question!. Vegan people are individuals and cannot be grouped together in this way!.

The only people that criticize other people based on diet are those that never learned how to properly interact with or relate to other people!.

Vegetarians do not eat animals!.
Cows, chickens, fish, shrimp and clams are all animals!.
http://www!.vegsoc!.org/info/whatis!.html
Strict vegetarians do not eat anything that comes from an animal!. Lacto-ovo-vegetarians eat dairy and eggs!.

Bread, pasta, cereal, rice, beans, peas, lentils, nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies can easily offer everything that you need except B12!.

All vegetarians should take a B12 supplement regularly since most people eat meat, dairy AND fortified cereals yet still have a B12 status that is lower than recommended!.

It may help if you see proof that vegetarian people have the same potential as anyone else!.

If you need meat or dairy during any stage of your life or to live any certain lifestyle, why does the American Dietetic Association say otherwise!?

It is entirely your decision!
If you want to be a real veggie you are allowed milk and eggs but NO meat - this includes fish!.

I'm vegan and although it would be nice if more people would also become vegan, I wouldn't criticise anyone for their decision!

You might find once you have stopped eating meat you decide to stop eating fish too!.

So, in answer to your question - yes it's ok, if that is your decision!

Good luck :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most of us (including me) was transformed from a semi-vegetarian to strictest vegetarian (vegan they called) today!. There should no reason why the vegans should "laugh from distance" seeing the "kinda" arguments are still going on like !.!.!.dairy, eggs, honey, etc if compassion is primary reasons for US!. WE ARE IN SAME FAMILY!.

There are controversy all the times upon "vegetarianism" blooming extremely fashionable lifestyle!. But i fell it is a good TRANSITION tract!. To be at SAFER side, since the definition is always WELL DEFINED for VEGANISM (at least everyone would agree to this point here) A RIGHT track of TRANSITION as i assumed, WELCOME to STRICTEST VEGETARIAN sub-group ANYTIME!.

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
===================================
Semi-vegetarians are people who have chosen to live a lifestyle which is not strictly vegetarian!. A semi-vegetarian may be a person who only eats meat occasionally, or perhaps doesn’t eat meat, but eats poultry and fish!.

1) Ovo-Lacto-Vegetarian
--------------------------------------!.!.!.
Ovo-lacto vegetarians are vegetarians who do not eat meat, poultry, fish, and seafood, but do eat eggs and milk!. This is by far the largest group of vegetarians!.

2) Ovo-Vegetarian
--------------------------------------!.!.!.
Ovo-vegetarians are people who would be classed as vegans if they did not eat eggs!.

3) Lacto-Vegetarian
--------------------------------------!.!.!.
Lacto-vegetarians are people who would be classed as vegans if they did not consume milk!.

VEGAN
======================================!.!.!.
This is by far the strictest vegetarian sub-group or category!.
A vegan is a person who has chosen not to consume any animal products or byproducts!. Some will even so far as not consuming honey and yeast, and others will not wear any clothing made from animal products!. Veganism is a diet and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose!. Vegans endeavor not to use or consume animal products of any kind!. The most common reasons for becoming a vegan are ethical commitment or moral convictions concerning animal rights, the environment, human health, and spiritual or religious concerns!. Of particular concern are the practices involved in factory farming and animal testing, and the intensive use of land and other resources required for animal farming!. Veganism never stops at eating habit alone, but continuous journey beyond!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Its not fair to classify all vegans in one way!.!.!. I am vegan and don't criticize others for their diet!.!.!. But well it is all up to you!.!.!. Can you drink cow's milk!?!?!? and would you be able to eat seafood!?!?!? its up to you!.!.!. you are the one decding this!.!.!. its your diet!.!.!. all up to you!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Seafood is meat!. No meat!.

If vegans criticize vegetarians it's simply delusions of grandeur as vegans themselves are far from perfect too!.

"many vegetarians eat white fish"--no, they don't!. Those are not vegetarians then!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My roommate is vegan, she tries, but I remind her that the gas in her car was once a dinosaur :-)
In real life vegans and vegetarians respect each other, but in forums like this there tends to be some conflict!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have a Vegan sister who critizes me eating eggs!
also there has been Vegans right on yahoo critizing vegetarians calling us vegetarians cruel for supporting the cruelity of chickens because we eat eggs!Www@FoodAQ@Com

many vegetarians eat white fish, it just depends on your reasons for becoming vegetarian, be it cruelty to animals, health considerations, or you just dont like the taste of red meat!.
only obnoxious people criticise what other people eat, people who try and force their opinions on you are the people you want to avoidWww@FoodAQ@Com
