The same as vegetarians that eat camels and kangaroos-- not vegetarians.



No such thing. There are a few meat-limiting diets out there, but none are vegetarian (seeing as how vegetarian means that one does not eat animals).

Here are the three most common meat-limiting diets out there. For some reason, they are often erroneously lumped in with vegetarianism.

A person who eats seafood but not land animals is a pescetarian. This term is pretty widely known, so you can probably use it.
A person who eats birds but no other kind of animals is a pollotarian. This is less-known, but most people can probably guess what it means.
A person who avoids mammals, but will eat birds and sea critters is a pescepollotarian. This term isn't too widely-known, so it's probably faster for them just to say, "I don't eat red meat."

I hope this helps. It's great that you are looking for the correct term for the particular meat-limiting diet you're interested in! If this is a stepping stone to vegetarianism, I wish you luck on your journey.

EDIT: I completely forgot! Eggs are suitable for most vegetarians. A lacto-vegetarian or total/strict vegetarian won't eat them. Neither will a vegan. But for someone who is an ovo-lacto vegetarian (what most people mean when they say "vegetarian" without a qualifier), it's fine. When in doubt, though, you should ask whether they eat eggs.



Not vegetarians at all. Kind of like a guitarist that doesn't actually play guitar or any instrument like it.

Here is a handy little chart to explain things (feel free to copy and use it just don't alter it):
Pescetarian-a vegetarian fish
Pollotarian- a vegetarian chicken
Flexitarian- a flexible vegetarian (a dancer or maybe a gymnast who is also vegetarian)
Semi-Vegetarian - a crash between a semi trailer truck and a vegetarian. Not a very pretty site. Vegetarians need to watch out when crossing the street or driving.
Lacto-ovo- eats dairy and eggs (no meat or slaughter by products)
Lacto- eats dairy (no meat or slaughter by products)
Ovo- eats eggs (no meat or slaughter by products)
Strict/Pure Veg (often mis-refered to as veganism)- eats no animal products or by products whatsoever
Raw- eats from 80-100% raw vegetables and fruits, nuts, grain and legume sprouts, seeds, plant oils, sea vegetables, herbs, and fresh juices as in heated to no more than 118 degrees (basically a strict/pure veg diet just made raw)
---------
Vegan- a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude — as far as is possible and practical — all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, including humans and the environment.
In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

vegan because animals are not property



Smart vegetarians. The Mayo Clinic refers to these people as "flexitarians which they define as vegetarians who on occasion would eat meat". Be reminded that the Mayo clinic is a far more respectable, credible and certainly a very intelligent source for nutrition information being made up of actual nutrition professionals. Much better than people whose only source are vegetarian/vegan propaganda sites like vegsoc, vegan.org, PETA etc and better than an "anarchist" who follows rules that do not exist.



They are people who do not eat mammals. Unfortunately, there is no good word for that, so for practical reasons, those people often refer to themselves as vegetarians, as there is no other practical way to make sure they don't get served beef, pork, etc.

Pescetarians eat fish and seafood, but not birds.



Vegetarians don't eat fish or birds. They don't eat any kind of animal flesh at all, but some eat eggs and most have dairy.
There is no special name for someone who only eats fish or only eats birds or fish *and* birds besides a meateater.



Omnivores.

I don't think I'll ever understand where confusion over the term 'vegetarian' comes from. The word has no meaning when you attach all these exceptions to it. It's like me saying I'm an atheist, but I believe in Jesus and read the bible every day.



"omnivores"
"omnivores that don't eat red meat"
"picky omnivore"

that is not a vegetarian though.



They aren't vegetarians. Check your garden: vegetables don't have fins or feathers. Basic biology.



Eat fish & seafood: pescetarian.

Eat birds: not a vegetarian.



Not vegetarians.

I personally think of them as merely picky eaters.



There arent any vegetarians that eat fish or bird products.

If you eat them you're a meat eater.



A Faketarian, a Non-Vegetarian, an Omnivore, whichever you like best.



No such thing. Vegetarians eat no dead animals. Most do eat eggs though



Vegetarian- one who eats no animals

Fish and birds- animals



Vegetarains do not eat fish.



Not fooling anyone but theirselves.



Not vegetarians. Are you a Troll or an idiot?



Schizophrenic.



not a vegetarian.



They are in denial.



liars



i THINK, and im not SURE, but i think thats called being a pesketarian
