What are the different kinds of vegetarians? Could you tell me your source of information?

Question

I know there are different kinds such as those who don't eat meat but eat eggs. Please help.

Answer 1

Actual vegetarians-

Strict-
breathatarian- They just breathe air (and shortly die)
Fruitarians- they only eat fruit that doesn't kill plants.
vegans- consume no animal products (in diet or in lifestyle.

Dietary-
ovo-vegetarians- they eat eggs
lacto-vegetarians- they consume dairy
ovo-lacto-vegetarians- they consume eggs and dairy


That's it, anyone else calling themselves vegetarian is lying.
There's no pescovegetarian or poulovegetarian, only pseudovegetarian. Vegetarians do not eat any meat, (including fish, chicken, or other birds.)

Answer 2

A lacto-ovo vegetarian includes eggs and dairy
An ovo vegetarian includes just eggs
A lacto vegetarian includes just dairy
A vegan uses no animal products whatsoever.

Some unknowledgable people will tell you that some include fish but that is wrong information. No vegetarian eats any flesh from any animal.

My source of information came from many places over the years..not just one source.

Answer 3

Ovo lacto vegetarians eat eggs, cow milk and cheese, butter, etc. Vegans eat only plant based foods, no honey, no dairy, no eggs. There are people who call themselves vegetarians who eat chicken or fish. I don't know what to call them.

I have been an ovo-lacto-vegetarian since 1970. My daughters are vegan.

Remember that what you eat is your choice. Eat for your health and what you like! Don't let others coerce you into eating what they think is right unless it's what ou want to eat.

Answer 4

Vegetarians eat eggs and dairy, vegans eat nothing that comes from an animal at all.

That's it, other types are tall, short, skinny or fat.

But none eat any kind of meat from an animal whatsoever, including fish.

Answer 5

I dont have an actual answer, but if someone calls themselves vegetarian but still eats fish, they're NOT!
And people like my mother, who goes all out with the "veg pride" but still eats poultry- is NOT veg either!
