Vegetarian

Vegetarianism is where someone eats a plant based diet (with or without dairy products) with the exclusion of meat. Many who chose to be vegetarians do so out of respect for sentient life. other reasons include health, aesthetic, cultural or economic. Semi- Vegetarians eat a mainly vegetarian diet, but it may include fish or poultry. This may be because they feel it is not right to eat mammals. The vegetarian society says that the word vegetarian comes from the latin word vegetus meaning lively or vigorous, where as some dictionaries say that it derives from the word vegetable and the suffix -arian. The different types of vegetarianism are:

• Ovo vegetarianism includes eggs but not dairy products.
• Lacto vegetarianism includes dairy products but not eggs.
• Ovo-lacto vegetarianism (or lacto-ovo vegetarianism) includes animal/dairy products such as eggs, milk, and honey.
• Veganism excludes all animal flesh and animal products, including milk, honey, and eggs, and may also exclude any products tested on animals, or any clothing from animals.^[23]
• Raw veganism includes only fresh and uncooked fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetables. Vegetables can only be cooked up to a certain temperature.^[24]
• Fruitarianism permits only fruit, nuts, seeds, and other plant matter that can be gathered without harming the plant.^[25]
• Buddhist vegetarianism (also known as su vegetarianism) excludes all animal products as well as vegetables in the allium family (which have the characteristic aroma of onion and garlic): onion, garlic, scallions, leeks, or shallots.
• Jain vegetarianism includes dairy but excludes eggs and honey, as well as root vegetables.
• Macrobiotic diets consist mostly of whole grains and beans.
