Well, most vegetarians (and apparently the type you want to be) don't eat any meat. Meat is what comes from animals, you know, things that are neither plants, rocks, nor bacteria. Gelatin has animal bone meal in it, which comes from animals. Basically, if you want to consider yourself a vegetarian, don't eat anything that came from a dead animal.

vegetarian's are people too. They can eat anything. Anything they want.
They just choose not to eat the following:
meat (you knew that)
anything with gelatin (some sour cream, jello, marshmallows, gummy worms/bears, etc)
animal derived enzymes/renet (in cheese, alot of the time)
beef/chicken fat (obviously derived from a dead animal)
lard (even the word sounds gross. commonly in pie crusts, canned beans, and torillas)
white cane sugar (filtered with some bones & tissue stuff, ick)
twinkies and hostess cupcakes (animal shortening)

uhm... thats all i can think of. ha, if im missing some it's because im trying to avoid getting my vegan thoughts of my mind in this and probably forgetting it :P

vegans are the ones that can't eat gelatin...vegans can't eat ANYTHING thats from an animal. anything at all. no milk, meat, eggs, stuff with gelatin, butter, anything dairy...NOTHING.
i became a vegetarian a year ago and its pretty great. ive experimented with tons of recipes and i dont even think about meat or remember that it exists. lol
but anyways...there are different kinds of vegetarians: lacto-vegetarians, ovo-vegetarians, and lacto-ovo vegetarians. lacto-vegetarians can't eat any kind of meat or eggs, but they still have dairy products. ovo-vegetarians don't eat any kind of meat or dairy, but still have eggs. lacto-ovo vegetarians still eat eggs and dairy, but just not any kinds of meat. i'm a lacto-ovo.
for a while, i never ate pork or red meat, but i still ate chicken and fish. that's what you call a pescatarian.

Of course if you are a vegetarian, then you obviously do not eat animal products - or use animal products from deead animals. Same thing.

So, we do not wear leather shoes, leather belts or watch straps - or even leather sears in your car (or of course your friends car too)
If we went to hospital for an X-Ray, we would say to the doctors that we did not want one taken because the film was made with gelatine...
Talking of gelatine again, most drugs are contained in gelatine capsules - sorry doctor, I cannot take that antibiotic you perscribed to me...
We would never use most branded skin anti wrinkle or beauty creams.
We would never use photo grade inkjet paper

And so on.
Be a vegetarian....

Vegetarians CAN eat whatever they choose.
They CHOOSE not to buy or eat meat.

Meat is the flesh of an animal.
Chickens, fish, cows, pigs, etc are all animals.

Therefore one who eats such
is NOT a vegetarian.

meat, fish, chicken, chicken/beef broth, gelatin (it's in MANY products, gummy worms, cakes, yogurt, etc), lard, animal fat, cheese made with animal rennet. Vegans also avoid dairy, eggs and honey.

Vegetarians can eat anything that non-vegetarians can, they just choose not to eat meat.

No, there is only one type of vegetarian, the kind that does not eat meat.

Vegetarians don't eat meat.
Hence the 'vege'.
p.s. it makes your bones brittle, like mine.

k

It depends what type of vegetarian you are. I use to be a vegetarian 10 years ago until i gained weight because of it - my doctor told me that my blood type is not suitable for it. My blood type is O positive & best type to be vegetarian is actually type A.

Varieties of vegetarianism

Roadside café near Kullu, India.There are a number of types of vegetarianism, which exclude or include various foods.

Ovo-lacto vegetarianism includes animal products such as eggs, milk, and honey.
Lacto vegetarianism includes milk but not eggs.
Ovo vegetarianism includes eggs but not milk.
Veganism excludes all animal flesh and animal products, including milk, honey, eggs. May also exclude any products tested on animals, also any clothing from animals.[18]
Raw veganism includes only fresh and uncooked fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetables. Vegetables can only be cooked up to a certain temperature.[19]
Fruitarianism permits only fruit, nuts, seeds, and other plant matter that can be gathered without harming the plant.[20]
Su vegetarianism (such as in Buddhism), excludes all animal products as well as vegetables in the allium family (which have the characteristic aroma of onion and garlic): onion, garlic, scallions, leeks, or shallots.
Macrobiotic diets consist mostly of whole grains and beans.
Strict vegetarians also avoid products that may use animal ingredients not included in their labels or which use animal products in their manufacturing e.g. cheeses that use animal rennet (enzymes from animal stomach lining), gelatin (from animal skin, bones, and connective tissue), some sugars that are whitened with bone char (e.g. cane sugar, but not beet sugar) and apple juice/alcohol clarified with gelatin or crushed shellfish and sturgeon.

Individuals may describe themselves as "vegetarian" while practicing a semi-vegetarian diet.[21][22] In other cases, they may simply describe themselves as "flexitarians".[21] These diets may be followed by those who reduce animal flesh consumed as a way of transitioning to a vegetarian diet or for health, environmental, or other reasons. The term "semi-vegetarian" is contested by most vegetarian groups, which state that vegetarians must exclude all animal flesh. Semi-vegetarian diets include pescetarianism, which includes fish and sometimes other seafood; pollotarianism, which includes poultry; and macrobiotic diets consisting mostly of whole grains and beans, but at times may include fish.

Hope these infos help you out :o)) good luck!

I thought they could eat gelatin.
