Vegetarians? Do you eat (meat) broth/stock?

Question

I do not eat anything that has been made with or using any sort or meat stock or croth...like chicken broth or beef stock. I was wondering if that is just me or does everyone do that?

Thanks for all the comments and answers!

Answer 1

yeah broth is a bit much.

a lot of the time it tastes meaty anyway. ew.

Answer 2

True vegetarians don’t consume meat based broths/stocks like chicken or beef broth. We consume vegetable broths/stocks instead. There are vegetable bouillons available and miso makes a good broth also.

Answer 3

I do not eat anything that used animal-based broth as well. A vegetarian would not consume it because although it is not meat itself, the broth was made from the "juices" of the meat.

Answer 4

I do not eat (meat) broth or stock. I am a vegetarian. If you eat (meat) broth/stock, you wouldn't be a vegetarian.

Answer 5

From Wikipedia. Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes all animal flesh, including poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, and slaughter by-products.[1]

There are several variants of the diet, some of which also exclude eggs and/or some products produced from animal labor such as dairy products and honey. Veganism, for example, excludes all animal products from diet and in some definitions from attire also,[2] whether or not the production of clothing or items has involved the actual death of an animal (dairy, eggs, honey, wool, silk, down feathers, etc.).

A generic term for both vegetarianism and veganism as well as for similar diets is "Plant-based diets".[4]

The reasons for choosing vegetarianism may be related to moral, religious, cultural, ethical, aesthetic, environmental, social, economic, political, taste, or health concerns.


Yes, I do not eat them. I'm not only vegetarian I'm vegan and alkalarian. I saved my life with foods and drinks of an alkalizing pH. Animal products are extremely acid and pathogen contaminated and therefore I do not eat them. It is science and religion for me. I have never heard of a vegetarian using meat. I have heard of some of them using dairy but not meat.

Answer 6

It's not just you. Many vegetarians do not eat chicken and beef stock because it contains beef and poultry which contradicts the idea of not eating meat

Answer 7

No I don't eat. Because there is no point in following vegetarianism if you eat broth. It is still from meat...

Answer 8

I don't either, I'm a strict vegetarian. I love miso soup but most places make it with fish stock so I just make my own miso soup at home with vegetable broth. And wouldn't that be a flexetarian?

Answer 9

Well, since broth and stock are made by boiling leftover animal carcasses I would say that no vegetarian eats it. If they do, they aren't vegetarians.

Mimori---vegetarians can eat eggs and many dairy products

Answer 10

Nope. I use vegetable broths and stocks.

Answer 11

any product from an animal is taboo to eat if you are vegitarian. that goes for everyone. there are alot of people who really 'bend' the rules of being vegitarian. no meat products. may i sugest some vegi broth instead? thats good too.
