I am confused here.. ur vegetarian yet...??

Question

I dont understand why some vegetarians eat chicken. But they wont eat other meat.

Chicken is a dead animal so u cannot be vegetarian.

My question is,.... Why is that?

My mum is a vegetarian she eats products from meat but not meat itself.

Answer 1

They aren't vegetarians if they eat animals (chicken, fish, anything.) What they are, are omnivores in denial. When you say products from meat you mean, products from animals, such as milk and eggs right? that's is considered ok for vegetarians. because nothing has to die (well, not directly anyway) for them to eat it.

Answer 2

You said "Chicken is a dead animal so u cannot be vegetarian"
then you say ya mum a vege yet you go to say she eats products from meat so how can you say she's a vegetarian and the person who eats chicken is not?
I have been a vegetarian since I was able to say no to meat my parents could not and still do not accept this I am now 40!
No you are not a vegetarian if you eat meat, fish, chicken or any product from meat.
I think some people who eat fish and chicken call them selves white meat eaters. which is a good term to discribe themselves i think.

Answer 3

NO vegetarian eats chicken. Chicken is not a plant. I'm not sure what you mean by your mom eats products from meat. Meat is not an animal either, it's flesh from an animal. Sorry, you lost me!

Answer 4

I respect anyone who puts forth an effort to avoid eating animals....so if your mom eats chicken and products from meat occasionally- but tries to stick to a vegetarian diet most of the time, then you should be proud of her. It's not easy being a vegetarian when you are living in a meat-loving society.

Answer 5

They aren't vegetarians. Demi vegetarian would be the correct term to use it means 'half' vegetarian. They have cut all or most meat and poultry from their diet but still eat a little bit or use products with meat extracts in them.

Answer 6

I'm a vegan, i was a vegetarian for a year and i've been stricter towards it. I live in a non-free meat family, which is utterly scum.

Some people do eat one type of meat or just fish and think they are vegetarian, apparently, which is defeating the point of being a vegetarian in my opinion. If you have dairy products and eggs then thats part of the hurt process as well.

It's healthy and broadens your sences and free spirited when you are a passionate vegetarian or a stricted vegan. I've never felt more better about myself and towards people and how gullible i was before then.

Answer 7

she is not really a vegetarian in the ordinary sense of the word, but she abstains from red meat and certain other meats.

Vegetarian means someone who avoids eating animal flesh, but may or may not eat other animal products such as cheese, eggs or milk

In spain you can buy a vegetarian sandwich and it contains tuna. Because fish is sometimes not considered 'meat'

Hindus don't eat meat but eat dairy products.

Jaiinists avoid all animal products, and even vegetable parts that grow under the soil (potatoes garlic ginger carrots etc)

Vegans avoid eating any type of animal products including milk and eggs.

I am about to fry up some chicken livers, so I am glad to be eating a vegetarian meal according to your mum. With bacon, because pork is not red meat either.

Answer 8

If you eat meat or its products, you are not a vegetarian.

Answer 9

There is no such thing as a vegetarian that eats chicken. When I was a vegetarian people would tell me they were vegetarian but when we talked about food they would say that they ate fish. I never understood that.

Answer 10

if u r vegetarian u dont even eat chicken bcos its meat.
