vegetarian?

Question

am i still a vegetarian if i eat seafoodm, milk, eggs, cheese?

i am not wondering if i am a vegan. just a vegetarian.

Answer 1

no, you are considered a pescetarian.
screw everyone who is pissed cause you eat fish.

i'm a vegetarian saying that at least you don't support the awful factory farms.

Answer 2

If you eat seafood, no.
Vegetarians do not eat animals, and shrimp, fish, etc. are animals - thus, to eat them is not vegetarian. But you can eat as you wish without the need for labels... if someone asks, you can tell them you only eat seafood (as far as meat goes).

Edit: In case you'd like a source, the Vegetarian Society is where the definition itself originated, and the definition of vegetarian does -not- include fish.

Answer 3

Vegans don't eat ANY kind of animal protien- including milk, eggs, etc. Vegetarians, however, don't eat anything that an animal had to die to make. That means that on top of vegetable-type things, they do eat milk, cheese, eggs, etc. Some are more strict- my sister, for example refuses to eat things like Skittles or use mousse in her hair because those contain gelatin which is sometimes derrived from animals. I'm not so careful- I do eat things containing gelatin as well as things that have milk, eggs, etc. in them. I also eat fist, shrimp, etc. I've heard that the term for people like us is "pescatarian." It means that you're not a full vegetarian because you eat dead animals, but only ones from the sea.

Answer 4

I'm a vegetarian and I don't eat seafood, eggs, or drink milk. But I do eat cheese. So I'm not technically sure. Vegetarians eat dairy products but I'm not to sure about the seafood factor. I'm sorry if I didn't help.

Answer 5

If by "seafood" you mean "sea animals", then no, you're not a vegetarian. Vegetarians don't eat animals.

Sea vegetables, though, are fine. Totally underrated in Western society.

Answer 6

Sea animals are animals, vegetarians don't eat ANY animals. So no you would not be a vegetarian until you cut out the sea animals.

Answer 7

Sorry you are eating a very healthy omnivorous diet. Those are animal products. Vegetable means vegetable, fruit, plants, roots, seeds, fungi, leaves, cellulose, legumes, flowers, petals, seaweed, stamens, and bark.

I'd even go on to say anything with legs and walks or anything that comes from something with legs and walks is animal, non-vegetarian. In the Philippines people eat swallows bird nests from caves thinking its non-carnivorous. They are eating the saliva from the swallows.

You are omnivorous like coyotes, raccoons, bears, rodents, and all other simians.

I don't know about honey. Honey seems acceptable.

Find out how vegans get their protein. It's important for your physical development.

Answer 8

If you eat shrimp or fish, you are not a vegitarian. If you eat milk, eggs, and cheese, then you are a vegitarain. If you don't eat milk, eggs, and cheese, then that would make you vegan.

Answer 9

Seafood is meat and so is chicken...ever heard of white meat chicken?
I've been a vegetarian for a year and a half..if you cut out the seafood, then you're a lacto-ovo vegetarian.

Answer 10

if you eat seafood, you're not vegetarian. it's actually called something like pescetarian (which is what i am) yeah... i didn't find that out until a few months ago. =]

just fyi: vegetarians dont eat any animals. vegans don't eat animals or animal products. pescetarians don't eat land animals (chicken, pork, beef, etc.)
