I don't eat meat. I don't eat fruits or veggies. Does that make me a vegetarian? Or do vegetarians have to eat vegetables and fruit?

There are no rules to being 'vegetarian', its what you believe in. if you are against animal cruelty etc then dont eat meat, if you dont like fruit or vegetables then dont eat them, if you do like them, then do.
this is the definition of a vegetarian: a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.

You are a vegetarian. Vegetarians do not need to eat fruits and vegetables to be called a vegetarian.
The only requirements for being vegetarian is not eating any type of meat or animal product.

so if you don't eat meat or fruits or vegetables, then what do you eat? I know a vegetarian doesn't eat meat, so I'm thinking since u don't eat it that would qualify you as a vegetarian - from what I've read / heard there are different types of vegetarian like lacto-vegatarians, and other types Here's a link that will help you figure out if you really are a vegetarian and will tell you what type of vegetarian you are.

If you do not consume any animal flesh, but still eat milk (lacto) and eggs (ovo), you are considered a lacto-ovo vegetarian. Or more simply, a vegetarian. ALL humans SHOULD eat vegetables and fruits.

Vegetables and fruits are chock-full of the nutrients humans need... but we also need a source of protein. Ideally we need a varied, well-balanced diet to remain healthy which should include an abundance of vegetables (dark leafy greens are the best!). You're doing a terrible thing to your body by only eating bread and butter.

Something you eat is either part of the animal kingdom or the plant kingdom (fruits and vegetables). So IF you eat, then it has to be something from either of those (exception of dairy products without plants ingredients...which if you consume those than you can still be vegetarian, but not vegan).

Nonetheless, IF you don't consume any animals' flesh, you are a vegetarian.

Vegetarians may call themselves so because they have sworn off meat and dedicate themselves to eating a HEALTHY diet of fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains.

One who eats an exclusive diet of pasta, Doritos, cheese pizza and Mountain Dew (hey, I'm just guessing this is your diet???) is not by definition a vegetarian, only a fool.

Vegetarians don't eat meat-some also don't eat eggs or dairy products.
Sounds to me like you are mainly an unhealthy eater.
