What type of vegetarian would I be if...?!


Question: What type of vegetarian would I be if...?
Since sixth grade I've been a vegetarian. When someone asks my answer is "I'm a vegetarian, but I eat seafood, eggs and dairy."
I suppose I'm pescatarian and lacto-ovo vegetarian.

Is there a better/shorter term for my diet style?

YOU ARE NOT DEFINED by your diet. You can call the type of diet anything you like.



Hi. The word "pescatarian" would be fine to describe you.
Pescatarians still eat seafood, eggs and dairy.

lacto ovo pescatarian - dont call yourself a vegetarian as this is wrong.
seafood is also meat....



vegetarians don't eat fish or seafood.



From your description of your diet, I'd have to say that the type of "vegetarian" that you are is known as a "NON-vegetarian". Pescatarians are not vegetarians. Please refrain from calling yourself a vegetarian when you're clearly not one. It might be no skin off your nose making false claims like that, but it makes life more difficult for genuine vegetarians, and confuses the feck out of everyone else.

I think simply "pescatarian" would suffice. Most people assume that vegetarians and the like will still eat eggs and dairy, so there's no real need to mention that you do; it's only when you don't that you need to mention it.



Well you are just a pescatarian because

Vegans-Don't eat anything or wear anything produced by animals

Vegetarians-Don't eat the meat,but eat milk/eggs/cheese ect.

What's even the point of being vegetarian if you already eat seafood..meat is meat br0...



Hi, you eat meat(the seafood--animal flesh), so at best you are a pescatarian.

I know that some people will eat fish or seafood and call themselves "vegetarian", but this is not correct:-)



Hello

What about saying "I don't eat red/white meat".

just say youre a vegetarian. If someone asks what kind, you say a presco vegetarian



Omnivore. Vegetarians don't eat animals. Fish are animals.



No sort of vegetarian at all, crack open a dictionary



If you eat anything that has a face, you're not a vegetarian.



Pescitarian. Pescitarians already eat milk and eggs, along with fish.
