What's the name for a person who doesn't eat meat, but eats everything else?!


Question: What's the name for a person who doesn't eat meat, but eats everything else?
From my understanding of the term, a vegetarian is someone who eats ONLY vegetables. But what if you eat everything except meat? Is it still categorized under the term "vegetarian" or is there a completely different term for it?

Actually, if someone ate nothing but vegetables they would probably die from malnutrition. A vegetarian actually is what you would be considered (if you're talking about yourself). A vegetarian doesn't eat meat, but eats "everything else" such as dairy, eggs, ect.



Vegetarians eat way more than vegetables. We also eat grains, fruits, nuts, and everything in between. If you a ovo-lacto vegetarian, you eat eggs and eat/drink dairy products. Ovo vegetarian eats eggs, and a vegan is a vegetarian that consumes no dairy, eggs, honey, etc. I am a vegan. It's really easy to be one, you should consider it and your health will thank you.



In contemporary culture, "vegetarian" is synonymous with "lacto-ovo vegetarian", which means someone who doesn't eat animal flesh of any kind (birds, fish, etcetera) but does eat other animal products (milk, eggs, and I presume they wouldn't have any problems with eating hair extracts). If you are asking about someone who doesn't eat flesh, but does eat gelatin, animal rennet or other things like that, then there isn't really a proper term for it.



Vegetarian does not mean eating only vegetables! A vegetarian in its broadest sense eats all vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains like rice, breads. Eggs and dairy are optional.

So it is pretty much everything except for stuff that comes from killing animals.



it depends on what you consider meat and evrything else. if someone only excludes red meat but still eats poultry and seasfood they are omnivores.

if they only eat seafood dairy and eggs they are piscatorians - everything else is a varying degree of vegetariansm



If you eat eggs you are an ovo vegetarian. If you eat eggs and drink/eat dairy, you are a ovo-lacto vegetarian.



Simply, a vegetarian doesn't eat meat, while a vegan doesn't eat any animal product.
