How specific is the term vegetarian?!


Question: How specific is the term vegetarian!?
I have a friend who was a vegetarian for about 8 years!. No meat, fish, or poultry!. But after a while he started eating fish and then after a few more years he started eating chicken!.
Is he still technically a vegetarian or not!?

Answers:
Technically, no!. Fish and chicken are meat!. Some people who just eat fish would call themselves "pesco-vegetarian," but more hard-core vegetarians would probably disagree with that!. If you eat chicken, you're just someone who avoids red meat, not any kind of vegetarian!.
But to each his own!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nope!

Vegetarian to me is if you don't eat dead animals!.
Vegan is if you don't eat ANY animal products (honey included)

I find it amusing that people seem to rate fish and chicken as the second class citizens of the animal world!. Is it because they're not as cute!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

He's not a vegetarian at all anymore, he needs to give it up!. Maybe he still feels a teeny bit guilty eating it and has to compensate by keeping the term vegetarian attached to him, but he is 100% a carnivore!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no!. they say if you eat just poultry and fish then you are a semi-vegetarian but that is ridiculous!. If you have fish and poultry you aren't a vegetarian!. Fish, turkeys, and chickens feel pain too!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!.!.he is not a vegetarian!. Vegetarians eat no animal flesh or slaughter by productsWww@FoodAQ@Com

No, not at all!. The definition is really very simple: no dead animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No he's not at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

He's a semi-vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
