I have just found this definition on Biology-online.org:
Pescovegetarian: A vegetarian who consumes dairy products, eggs, and fish, but does not consume other animal flesh.
Whilst I don't eat meat (including fish) I do eat dairy products and eggs. I also buy leather shoes, but this is usually because I forget to look until I'm confronted by the leather logo after I've brought them home!!
So because I eat eggs and dairy products does this make me a vegetarian or a pescovegetarian - or something else altogether?

You are an ovo-lacto vegetarian if you just eat dairy and eggs but no meat.

Biology-online is wrong. It's pescotarian. Vegetarian's don't eat fish.
Sure you are a veg-head. Most vegetarians do eat eggs and dairy.
Most vegetarians don't worry much about leather items or wool or other things that come from animals. They're only concern is not eating them.
It's good that you DO think about where the leather comes from. But it doesn't kick you out of the Veg Club to buy leather shoes.

you're definitely a vegetarian, but not a vegan. obviously dairy products and eggs aren't meat, but you should try to find the eggs that come from cage-free chickens who are vegetarian-fed and all that... and you should try to check if your shoes are leather before you buy them, but vegetarianism is about what you eat and not what you wear. so just don't eat your leather shoes...

The term pescovegetarian is made up and does not make any sense. Vegetarians do not eat animals and fish are animals so the word is cancelling itself out. There are no vegetarians that eat fish.

You are a vegetarian.
The person who eats fish in the story is not a vegetarian.
Misinformation like that article is enough to drive girl insane.
There is no such thing as a vegetarian who eats dead animals.
:)
You can be a vegetarian and wear leather, but why bother? If you don't need dead things to eat, why have dead things to wear?
If you are interested, I'm sure you can find plenty of shoes with the label "all man-made materials."
These stores have lots of cool things like that.

If you eat fish then you are not a vegetarian. You are a sea animal eater.
