What is a vegetarian diet?
According to the Vegetarian Society, a vegetarian is someone who
does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or by-products of animal
slaughter. Vegetarian diets contain various levels of fruits, vegetables,
grains, pulses, nuts and seeds. The inclusion of dairy and eggs depends on the
type of diet you follow.
The most common types of vegetarians include:
• Lacto-ovo
vegetarians: Vegetarians who avoid all animal flesh, but do consume
dairy and egg products.
• Lacto
vegetarians: Vegetarians who avoid animal flesh and eggs, but do
consume dairy products.
• Ovo
vegetarians: Vegetarians who avoid all animal products except eggs.
• Vegans: Vegetarians
who avoid all animal and animal-derived products.
Those who do not eat meat or poultry but do
consume fish are considered pescatarians, whereas part-time
vegetarians are often referred to as flexitarians.
Although sometimes considered vegetarians, pescatarians and flexitarians
do eat animal flesh. Therefore, they do not technically fall under the
definition of vegetarianism.
