Types of Vegetarians ?!
Now I feel that I want to become a vegetarian. Currently, I don't eat red meat. The only meat I do eat is chicken. Are there different types of vegetarians? Are there any alternatives other than being a full pledge vegitarian? I heard that there is a type that can eat seafood, or did I hear wrong?
Either way, I'm willing to give up meat, but not ready to go vegan just yet.
Any advice/ comments are welcome!
Thank you

Answers: I'm thinking about becoming a vegetarian. Last year in english I did a research paper about fur factories and killing animals for meat. It disgusted me how horribly the poor animals were treated and then killed.

This is what I know: there is a "Lacto-ovo vegetarian" who eats dairy products & egg products, a lacto vegetarian who eats dairy products, but no egg products, a vegan who eats neither egg nor dairy products nor uses leather/suede products. In each case, the individual consumes plant products such as fruits/vegetables/grains. Personally, I have never heard of any type of vegetarian who eats seafood. Perhaps you should pick up a book or two on the subject. What you are doing is becoming a modified vegitarian, which is a good way to become a total vegitarian if that is your goal. Even if it is not, it is still a healthy & conscious way of eating and living.
You could go hardcore vegan and not eat and dairy or meat at all, or you could be like me, and just stick to not eating anything with a face. But yes, there are types who eat seafood.
yes there are various kinds of vegetarians, some more loose with their diet than others.
there's like locto-ovo vegetarian or somethingg like that that lets you eat seafood. you can easily look up the kinds with goodsearch.com
here we go again!!!! p
Just to clarify..
Fish, Chicken and Seafood is considered MEAT
Meat is a flesh from an animal..Fish are animals..so are lobster, crab, ect.
Well goodluck..
hope you can someday become a full vegetarian to help save many lives.
but for now you're on the right path.
=D
There are different kinds of people, but a vegetarian is a vegetarian. If your reasons are for protecting animals and not wanting to contribute to their horrible deaths, then why not just stop eating animals?
Fish are animals, chickens are animals, cows are animals, pigs are animals… anytime you eat one, you’re contributing to the “demand” for their death. It’s simple supply and demand – if you demand meat, the butchers, ranchers and fishermen will supply it. If you stop demanding meat, they’ll stop supplying it.
It’s a happy ending for the animals and a healthy lifestyle for you; a win-win situation for both sides.
Being vegetarian is a personal choice, and there are several different types. There aren't any "official" types, but there are loose classifications. The strictest is vegan, which means no meat, milk, fish, poultry, eggs, gelatin, or any animal product. In between are lacto-ovo, meaning you can eat eggs and milk. Finally, semi-vegetarians means no red meat, but they eat chicken and fish.
It's really up to you. Don't worry about official definitions or groups. Just do what feels right for you, and come up with your own system if none of the regular groups seem to suit your needs.
Vegetarians don't eat animals.
Cows, chickens, fish, worms and ants are all animals.
Vegan people do not eat or buy any product that comes from an animal such as dairy, eggs, meat, honey, leather, wool, silk.They don't buy products that are tested on animals or attend events such as circuses or rodeos. A vegan person would never buy an animal at a store or breeder, they would adopt one from a shelter or accept one from a person that was regretful that they could no longer care for the one that they had.
Eating any fish, meat, poultry or slaughter by-products would make you a non-vegetarian.
Please do not use words like semi-vegetarian, pescki-vegetarian or pollo-vegetarian. Its disprespectful to animals, vegetarinism and 160 years of history - the word was defined in 1847.
Rather than looking to define yourself by words, it might be much better to define yourself by your actions. A vegetarian diet has many advantages.
Bestof luck with your choices, a vegetarian diet is really simple to achieve.
I'm a vegan that eats some meat and wears leather on Thursdays and Mondays.

A vegetarian is someone who does not eat meat. Meat is flesh from an animal, any animal, fish, chickens, cows, pigs, etc. A vegan is someone who does not eat meat, milk, eggs, or anything else that come from animals. You cannot be a vegetarian and eat fish or chickens.
I would suggest starting out slowly, first not eating meat. Then, later on you can stop eating eggs. Then later stop drinking milk and eating cheese. Then even later you could stop eating all animal products all together. This is what I am doing.
Remember, though, it is just not meat, eggs and milk that come from animals. You are also going to have to look at ingredients on packages to make sure that they do not have gelatin or other disgusting animal products in them. Here is a website that can help:

Oh, and besides not eating any animal products both vegetarians and vegan do not wear any clothing made from animals or use products tested on animals and/or have animal products in them. Products not tested on animals and do not have animal products in them are easy to find. Here is a website that can help with that:
