Do you consider yourself a Moderate Vegetarian, and how do you define that?!


Question: Do you consider yourself a Moderate Vegetarian, and how do you define that?
Answers:

I'd think that a "moderate" vegetarian might be ovo-lacto, one that eats eggs and dairy products. World wide most vegetarians just don't eat meat. They still consume eggs and dairy products.



I don't define myself and don't like labels- which are for the insecure.

If you're really not into eating meat for reasons of animal cruelty, there's no way you can also eat cheese or drink milk or wear leather.

Some don't eat meat cos they don't like it, that's fine too.

Labelling yourself is something psychologically askew.



No, I don't consider myself any kind of vegetarian--I eat meat every day.

Everyone's definition of "moderate" is different, but I'd describe someone as a "moderate" vegetarian if they were true to their own beliefs and didn't eat any meat (including fish) or other products made from animal body parts, and at the same time didn't force their beliefs on others, or try to claim to be morally superior somehow.

Examples of people I would NOT describe as moderate vegetarians/vegans: Craig, Dilara Gingerich, Herbert Lom, Karina, ★single serving friend★, dna habitue, G C



Not possible. Being vegetarian is like a light bulb. Its either ON or OFF. There is no 'moderate'. Ok, yes you can dim or brighten a light, but that is still ON. If you only eat meat at certain times, or only certain types then you're still a meat eater. 'Moderate vegetarian' is a term for people who want to have their cake and eat it too. They can APPEAR supportive of vegetarians, they probably ACT self righteous, but they really aren't either one.



i would suppose so
im not as 'fundamentalist' in my vegeism as i used to be when i was younger,

and i dont freak out over mistakes nowadays, i just say a fk i didnt know that had gelatine, not buy it again and move on

i accept soceity doesnt share the same ideas as i do so sadly i cant always have things the way i want, i estill have to have leather and all that rubbish, cos thats the life we live

but im still pretty anti crulety, that never goes away, once you know of that, you cant forget it
at least id hope not, cos that wouldnt say very good things about us



There is no such term. You either eat meat/meat byproducts or you don't. There is no in-between. If by moderate you mean only eating meat on holidays or weekends, you are confused as to what vegetarianism really entails.



I'm pretty sure there's no such thing...



moderate vegetarians eat fish and chicken
