is there some vegans and vegatarians that eat white meats?

Answers:
If it is a guide to vegetarian starters, then they must want you to first cut out all red meat (which is what I did), and eat only chicken and fish for awhile (I wouldn't eat pork either). Then start to cut back on the white meat, and get most of your "meat" protein from cheese, milk, eggs, and yogurt. When you get to this point, then you are vegetarian because then you won't be eating any animal flesh (meat) and only animal by-products (dairy and eggs). It took me about a year or so to change into full time vegetarian (just finding food that I like to eat and could buy easily at the store). After two years of being vegetarian, I made the switch to vegan. And that was hard too (another year).
I think if you ease into it slowly, your body will acclimate easier (slow removal of toxins from the body instead of fast elimination that results in headaches and fatigue/flu-like symptoms) and you can change your lifestyle to vegetarian/vegan permanently (instead of trying it for two weeks and quitting after all the headaches and the inconvience of finding foods, etc.)
May peace be with you on this incredible journey of helping the world.
There are many different types of vegitarians, Iam a full on veggie eater!!
but yes some people include fish in there diet.
I suggest if you are first starting out you should try eating fish and then lower the amount you eat slowly this way it wont shock your body.
Also, your body may seem achy after taking meats out from your diet. To solve this, just begin taking plenty of vitamins drink tons of water, and try doing yoga!
I hope this helps!!
Vegetarians are called vegetarians because they do NOT eat any meat. No flesh from no animals. Ignore the person above, he is wrong about what a vegetarian is.
I’m not quite vegetarian, but it is a goal of mine to become such before the end of the year (Ack! Look at the time! I gotta get working on that!)
There is such a thing as partial-vegetarians or part-time vegetarians; people who will either eat meat once a blue moon, or will only eat, like, fish or white meat chicken, whereas normally a “full-time” vegetarian doesn’t eat meat at all.
Now a Vegan wouldn’t eat white meat even a little bit. Vegans don’t eat any animal products of any kind; no meat, no dairy, no food coloring (some varieties of red food coloring have insect ingredients I’ve heard); I’ve even met some vegans who won’t even eat bread because it has yeast in it. I couldn’t do that, I like cheese a little too much. So, vegans wouldn’t eat meat by any stretch of the imagination.
I hope this answers your question and good luck on going vegetarian yourself.
Vegans eat no meat at all...No eggs or anything that was an animal before hand. A true vegetarian does'nt eat any animal !
Vegans do not eat any animal products or by-products.
Vegetarians are not quite so strict. But they eat no direct animal products.
Ovalacto-Vegetarians eat cheese and eggs.
People who are kidding themselves about being vegetarians eat fish and other white meats.
If you become a 'total vegetarian', you will suffer from anemia and stunted growth. It is not healthy. You will not receive enough iron, calcium, B vitamins or protein and other trace nutrients.
I was raised vegetarian, and I now have no problem eating either meats or tofu, but completely eliminating all meats for more than a temporary diet is as foolish as living on hamburgers and french fries.
Expect dizziness, weakness, fatigue, loss of concentration, loss of appetite, irritability, muscle atrophy and sexual dysfunction as well as reduction in bodily production of male/female hormones and Human Growth Hormone.
Eat a sensible healthy diet, and if you are not a big meat eater, model your diet on the Mediterranean/Greek diet where meat is only consumed once a week, and fish/poultry twice a week in small portions.
There is no way to replace or substitute for the proteins and vitamins, no matter how many legumes and vitamin supplements you eat.
Trust me, I know from personal experience.
I am an ovolacto vegetarian and do eat dairy products and eggs, but I would never consider someone who eats white meats to be a vegetarian. It would just mean that they dont like red meats.
I dont, I dont know any vegetarian let alone any vegan that does
There are many different types of vegetarians. I am a vegetarian myself and I eat dairy products but no meat. There are certain vegetarians that eat white meat or fish too.
A vegetarian that eats still eats some meat would be considered a "semi-vegetarian", and that is a good place to start. Whatever animal products you can eliminate from your diet helps to reduce animal suffering and improves your health. Just take it one step at a time. Before you know it, the site of any meat will no longer be appetizing. Good luck!
Im a vegetarian. ive been one for 3 years and I do eat shrimp ocasionally. If you want to be a vegetarian, good for you. Thats my point of view.
Vegetarians, by definition, do not eat meat. That includes white meat. One of my pet peeves is when someone calls him or herself a vegetarian but still eats certain types of meat (such as fish, chicken, etc.). They just don't eat red meat. In that case, they shouldn't be called vegetarians. You are only a vegetarian if you eat no meat at all. Vegans also would not eat meat, since they are even more strict than vegetarians- they don't eat any animal products at all, including cheese, milk, eggs, etc.
"is there some vegans and vegatarians that eat white meats?"
No; absolutely not.
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/vegetarian#...
I did enjoy the girl whose cousin "is a vegetarian but eats chicken." That's so thoroughly confused that it's confusing me. People can, I suppose, tell themselves that they're whatever they want; I just wish they wouldn't do it in public. Makes it hard for me to order in restaurants and all that.
Scroll down on that Wikipedia page for "semi-vegetarian" stuff; note that they're not really "vegetarians" per se. There's nothing at all wrong with not eating red meat, but it is "not eating red meat," not "vegetarian."
Also, I swear I'm not just agreeing with "Karin" because she looks so much like me...
And, why don't you post a URL for that site? I'm very curious as to what gave you the idea.
Finally -- what's a tootle?
some vegetrians eat fish some eat chicken. i, on the other hand, think eating any animal is wrong. i say avoid meat on all cost, no matter what it is.

a true vegetarian doesnt eat any meat. A fish or a chicken is not a vegetable. Its still an animal. There are some websites that say there are pollo vegetarians or pesco vegetarians eg (chicken eaters or fish eaters). These people aren't really vegetarians. They are just fussy eaters.
Don't listen to the person who said you will get anemic etc. If you are smart you wont. There is plenty of iron in lentils and pulses, brocolli, spinach, etc. Just as a precaution take a B12 supplement, but I have not been anemic at all being a vegetarian and this is someone who almost had to have a blood transfusion for severe anemia whilst eating animal products. If you eat a balanced diet you will not be ill, and you will feel better.
