Answer 1

VEGETARIANS – THE BASICS

Vegetarians don’t eat:
• Meat
• Poultry
• Game
• Fish, shellfish and crustacea
• Slaughterhouse by-products such as gelatin, rennet and animal fats.

Vegetarians do eat: :)

• Vegetables, pulses, grains, bread, cheese, eggs, fruit, nuts, cereals and seeds.
(they list much more, but those are the basics)
________________
A slaughterhouse byproduct is something an animal had to die for. Just check labels. Gelatin is from bones and tendons of animals and found in marshmallows, gummy candies, frosted pop tarts etc.
Rennet is found in some cheeses and comes from the 4th stomach of a baby calf.
_______
While vegetarians can eat eggs if they choose (chicken eggs are not fertilized by semen and therefore not an animal or "life"), the basic question is the same.

Basically, if you do not eat something in its true form, you do not eat it at all. If a dish has 1tbsp of fish sauce in the mix, then it is not vegetarian.

If you choose to not eat eggs, maybe you can cut just eggs, and then move on to products that contain eggs, like egg noodles.

Also, many vegetarians choose to eat free range eggs and milk, but be warned that free-range and cage-free does not mean cruelty-free.

Good luck

Answer 2

You can eat eggs and still be a vegetarian. If you're trying to be vegan, though, you do have to check the labels for such things (noodles don't typically have eggs listed as an ingredient, though...unless you're using, you know, egg noodles).

The best advice I can give you is to not be dictated by the vegetarian and vegan labels and definitions. This is a personal choice, not a club you're trying to join. Do what is comfortable for you. If you don't want to eat eggs, don't. If it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it.

Answer 3

vegetarianism has many different perposes for many different people. it has so many different takes that it is impossible to set standards for what vegetarians dont eat. vegetarianism is not an institution. I personally feel that it is wrong for me to personally be involved in the meat market, therefore I do not eat of purchase meat, but a small detail such as a tiny bit of egg in noodles does not bother me, nor does a spot of meat on fried eggs.

Answer 4

Vegetarians eat everything but meat.
Lacto being dairy and ovo being egg, Lacto veg means you don't do dairy, ovo veg means you don't eat eggs, lacto ovo means no dairy or eggs. Vegans have no animal products or biproducts.

Answer 5

understand the difference between vegeterian and vegan, whose proponents avoid all meat, as well as honey , butter, and leather products. Basically, if it has a face, don't eat it.

Answer 6
