What do you count as vegetarian?!
I know somebody who has recently started eating foods that have animal ingrediants like chicken broth in them!. She was a vegetarian for three years before this and still considers this to be vegetarian!. I tell her it is not and that she should go back to being a pure vegetarian!. What do you think!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
The flavors are from a reduced stock!. What happens is you take the leftover meat, sinew, tendons, ligaments, bones, and fat, then you boil it in water for a few hours!. This gives you a stock, like "beef stock" or "chicken stock!." This stock is then powdered by removing all the water, and this powder is shelf-stable!. This is also what boullion cubes are made from!.
Let her know this and see how comfortable she feels!. If she's okay with Bessie the cow, Babe the pig, and The Little Red Hen's bones being boiled for hours in a pot so she can enjoy their broth, then she's not a vegetarian!. So what if she's not eating the meat!? She's still consuming their suffering!. And hey, I don't give a rat's a$$ if she's a vegetarian or not!.!.!.I just don't like people being hypocrites!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You are correct, but ultimately what she eats is her business, not yours!. Not that you aren't allowed to care, just that her body is under her jurisdiction so she is entitled to eat chicken broth if she wants to!. There is a brand that sells both chicken and beef stock that isn't made from chicken or beef!. I'm not sure what it is made of though!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
As a lifelong vegetarian ---If an animal had to be killed to get that product (broth, gelatin, rennet etc) then it is not vegetarian in my opinion!. Of course this includes meat, poultry and even fish!.
I find eggs, milk, honey etc to be vegetarian!. I have the utmost respect for vegans since they learn to live w/o these things!. GO VEGANS!! AND YEAH VEGETARIANS!!!!!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most vegetarians don't eat meat, but many will still eat animal products (seems odd to me, but hey, the less meat the better)!. I cannot imagine how one would classify chicken broth as vegetarian!.
I would advise against telling your friend that she should eat a certain way!.!.!. it tends to not go over well!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't consider that person to be a vegetarian!. The chicken had to die for the broth to be made!. It is made of parts of the chicken!. That is way different from eggs, which come from the chicken, but aren't necessary for the chicken to live!.
Same thing with gelatin!. Ew!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Chicken broth is not vegetarian!. This is not what I "count" and it's not just my opinion - the accepted definition of vegetarianism is not eating any meat, fish, poultry, or slaughter by-products!. Since chicken broth is a slaughter by-product, it is not vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
not eating animal flesh, but consuming some but not all animal bi-products like, eggs and milk or cheese!. but passing on actually eating the cow or goat!.
i don't drink milk but i eat eggs because i like cake and i eat cheese because i love mac and cheese and pizza!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

She's fooling herself!. Or lying to herself!. Chicken broth is made from chickens, so she is eating chicken!. That makes her not a vegetarian!.
And for those who state ridiculous notions as to say that the broth isn't of the animal flesh so you aren't intaking the flesh then you are wrong!. The bones and meat on them are cooked to produce that broth, so part of them is going to be in that broth!. Just because they have liquefied doesn't make them not there, you are still ingesting meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The criteria is quite clear and is spelled out in the link below:Www@FoodAQ@Com
Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, poultry nor slaughter by-products
it really is that simple
Check my profile to links to the main vegetarian organisations in the world, including the one that defined the word for the Oxford, Chambers and Cambridge dictionaries in 1847
If she claims she is a veggie ( and is confident in her beliefs ) i challange her to approach these organanisations and ask them!.
Of course she will not, she will just continue to use the word vegetarian for no sensible reason I can think of!.
There is no such thing as "pure", "semi", "flexi" vegetarian!. It makes no sense to modify a word that already has an absolute definition!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Typically, vegetarian to me means not eating the 'flesh' of animals; chicken, pork, beef!.!.!. stocks and animal by-products are usually acceptable!.
If you don't eat anything that comes from any animal, including things like eggs, milk and honey, then you are a vegan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
