Vegetarianism is the practice of following a plant-based diet including fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, nuts, and seeds, with or without dairy products and eggs. A vegetarian does not eat meat, including red meat, game, poultry, fish, crustacea, and shellfish, and may also abstain from by-products of animal slaughter such as animal-derived rennet, found in some cheeses, and gelatin. Vegetarians may consume these or other unfamiliar animal ingredients unknowingly, however. Vegetarianism may be adopted for ethical, health, environmental, religious, political, cultural, aesthetic, economic, or other reasons, and there are a number of vegetarian diets. A lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs, an ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products, and an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products. A vegan diet excludes all animal products, such as dairy products, eggs, and usually honey. Many vegans also seek to avoid using any other animal-derived products, such as clothing and cosmetics. Semi-vegetarian diets consist largely of vegetarian foods, but may include fish or poultry, or other meats on an infrequent basis. A pescetarian diet, for example, includes fish but no meat. Those with diets containing fish or poultry may define "meat" as mammalian flesh and may identify with vegetarianism. However, vegetarian groups such as the Vegetarian Society have stated that diets containing fish and poultry are not vegetarian, because fish and birds are animals. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Is there room for hundreds of vegetarian and explicitly vegan organizations in every large city in No America? Q. Recent history has shown that, when one group tries to supplant or supplement another, either group declines and fails, or both groups fail. Perhaps we've reached a new day in the consciousness and presence of vegetarians, and certainly NO group or set of organizers/administrators /values can appeal to all persons practicing vegetarian diets any more than PETA does or could speak for all pro-animal vegetarians. Asked by vegetarian - Wed Aug 22 22:48:31 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Locally or regionally, this may be true but the 'every large city' part is pretty obviously untrue. Non-meat lifestyles are not very well established, for example, in the traditional heavy beef states of the midwest. Another piece of evidence that this is not quite the right time for this nationally is the recent buy out of Wild Oats by Whole Foods- an indication that the market place is not supporting a broad base of organic chains. Maybe I am missing something, but if non-meat movements were really doing well, I would expect to see vegetarian restaurants doing very well, and I do not. i would expect to see more mainstreaming of the lifestyle, and while it is there, it is not very strong. I think it is doing well, but not quite to the… [cont.] Answered by Madkins007 - Wed Aug 22 23:03:20 2007 What vegetarian foods can give me all the vitamins and minerals of fish? Q. When I told my doctor I'm a vegetarian, he said it's fine, but that should eat fish once a week just to get some extra minerals and vitamins. He said especially since heart disease and osteoporosis run in my family, I should eat fish for the phosphorus and the omega fatty acids. I know I'm being difficult, but I don't want to give up my ethics. How can I replace fish? Thanks! Asked by Enn W - Thu Jun 19 23:19:03 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Fish has Omega 3, which you can take in form of Flax seed oil. There isn't anything else in fish that you can't also get in a balanced vegetarian diet.

Q. Does it have any actual chicken in or anything? It's really the only thing I miss from my pre-vegetarian days, but I don't want to eat it if a chicken was killed in the process. To the person who thinks that a true vegetarian should know what they should eat- I know exactly what I do and do not want to eat. I don't want to eat anything with meat. I may not be able to tell conclusively whether or not the product mentioned meets those standards, and therefore, ask for help in gathering information.
