What does a "vegetarian diet" mean? The term "vegetarian" is really a misnomer, since vegetarians eat more than just vegetables. Vegetarian simply means a plant-based diet. There are several kinds of vegetarian diets, defined by what types of foods are consumed.

* A strict vegetarian, a vegan, avoids all foods of animal origin, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, and eggs.
* Lacto-vegetarians include dairy products in their diet. Lacto-ovo- vegetarians also eat dairy products and eggs.
* Pesco-vegetarians eat fish, dairy products, and eggs along with plant foods. (We believe this is the healthiest diet for most people).
* Finally, there are semi-vegetarians, who cheat a little and eat a little poultry along with fish, as well as dairy products and eggs. Most veggie lovers are not strict vegans.

Answer 2

You can still consider yourself a vegetarian since there are many types of vegetarian out there such as lacto (who drink milk and still consider themselves a vegetarian) there is a name for people who eat chicken and only vegetable but I'm not too sure about seafood. However you can still consider yourself a vegetarian just another kind.

Answer 3

I've been called a quasi-vegetarian. Just because I'd prefer not to eat slabs of meat, but little bits are OK sometimes. And I don't care if something's made with meat broth. I hate picking meat chunks out of my food, so if I have the choice I order vegetarian.

Answer 4

every person on the face of the earth is a "semi-vegetarian" cuz everyone eats veggies sometimes. the term "omnivore" means exactly the same thing, and thats what you are. just like about 90% of the rest of the human race. what you should call yourself is: an omnivore who doesnt eat red meat

Answer 5

I think it really depends. I mean, no, you are not a complete vegetarian but if you refuse to eat commercial meat products but you'll eat homegrown/organic fish/chicken I would still consider you vegetarian. To me a vegetarian is a person who refuses meat or certain meat based on moral beliefs. So... call yourself a vegetarian, but maybe clarify what you will eat and why.

Answer 6

Meat eater.Some people who only eat chicken and fish call themselves pesco-vegetarians.But I think that if you are eating meat then you can't really be a vegetarian.But I guess some people don't consider fish and chicken meat anymore.Beats me...

Answer 7

There are different types of vegetarians, yes. Some won't eat eggs or drink milk, some won't eat meat or poultry but will eat fish, etc. There is a variety of vegetarian types.

Answer 8

Yes, there is such thing. My friend won't eat red meat but she eats chicken and turkey and everything else
