What kind of vegetarian are you and what does that mean?

Question

I am flexitarian, meaning I rarely eat meats but do on exceptions and on occasions. And I hate the taste of meats, too! But, that is just me!

I mean what kind of vegetarian! If you don't know what type you are then how can you be a vegetarian?

OMG! If you don't believe me, then leave me! Okay?

Answer 1

Well..a flexitarian is not a a type of vegetarian first of all. Vegetarians do not eat any thing from a dead animal EVER.

I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian. That means I do use dairy and eggs. Dairy and eggs are not products of a dead animal.

Answer 2

I'm just a plain ol' vegetarian. I still eat things with dairy and eggs in them. I also avoid animal by-products at all costs. Like I said in your other question...a flexitarian isn't a vegetarian. I find it funny how you say "How can you not know what type of vegetarian you are? Then you aren't a vegetarian" hypocrite much?

Edit:
Calm down dude, it just irks vegetarians when people claim they're "flexitarians" or "pescitarians" sure don't eat fish or rarely eat meat but don't call yourself a vegetarian ::waits for another thumbs down because SOMEONE is too stubborn::

Answer 3

I am a vegetarian, which means I do not ever eat dead animals.

Never eating animals includes all animals, whether they walk, swim or fly. I also do not eat animal-meat-by-products such as gelatin or mono&diglycerides.

:)

I still eat some milk and cheese, which makes me a lacto-vegetarian.
No dead animal bodies ever, no eggs but little bits of dairy... for now.


EDIT for question #2- People can be vegetarians without knowing which kind because vegetarianism is the act and lifestyle of not allowing the flesh of dead animals into one's body.

Oddly, it does not work the other way around. People can label themselves and still not be what they decide to say they are. Take "pesco-vegetarians" *eek, even using the word makes me feel icky*. They call themselves vegetarians, and yet they are not because they eat dead animals.

A lot of misinformation has come out in the last few years... mostly from dot.com (commercially-owned) websites (people are paying for this misinformation), and wikipedia, which is similar to going to your buddy’s house and asking him a question. It is written by the general public, and well, the general public isn't really all that qualified to be considered a reliable source.

If a person consumes dead animals, s/he is no kind of vegetarian.

Answer 4

I'm VEGAN.

No offense but SERIOUSLY you are NOT a Vegetarian if you RARELY eat meat. It's unfair to all the people out there that are truely dedicated to animals and DON'T eat meat at all for you to include yourself in the description of Vegetarians.

I was a Vegetarian for six years before going Vegan.
I know how hard it is at first but it's soo worth it!

Answer 5

I'm a vegetarian,
which is someone who doesn't eat anything that has.....
or had a face, including fish.

Another type of vegetarian is a vegan which means you don't eat anything that
comes from an animal like cheese or eggs or meat, you also do not purchuse anything that is made from an animal like leather or suede.

Answer 6

I think that one way you can deal with your issue is to consider yourself "moving" towards Vegetarianism. It may take a while to completely get rid of dietary meat, chicken, fish, milk,etc. But you are making progress! There's no prize for who eats more or less of this or that. Just aim toward a more healthful diet and take the changes slowly.
Good Luck!

Answer 7

Lacto-ovo vegetarian. No gelatin, stearic acid, soups made with animal stock, etc. I'm still learning all the secret code names for slaughter by-products, but I do the best I can.

Personally, I also use dairy and egg substitutes whenever reasonably possible (in other words, when they don't make the final product suck), such as using soy milk on cereal and soy "sour cream" for dips. Does that make me semi-vegan? (Kidding!!!)

Answer 8

i am a lacto-vegetarian. this means that i do not eat meat, fish, or eggs, but i still eat dairy products. while i am not a huge fan of dairy, i am a very picky eater and cannot give it up.

Answer 9

I am a regular vegetarian.
Which means I don't eat meat or any meat products.

Answer 10

im a vegan

no meat or animal products
