What is a Vegetarian?
There are different types of people in
this category
It is often thought that people who prefer a vegetarian diet
are one homogeneous set of people who just don’t eat
meat. This is a world away from the actual truth of the
matter. There are many categories within this Lifestyle
and these categories are as as diverse as the reasons for
becoming a vegetarian or eating a vegetarian diet in the
first instance.
So then What is a Vegetarian? Generally a person is
defined as a vegetarian if they don’t eat meat. However
such a person could conceivably eat cheese and eggs and
drink milk - all the dairy products. A person who doesn’t
consume fish, poultry or meat,, but does drink milk or eat
cheese or eggs is known as a lacto ovo vegetarian. A lacto
vegetarian on the other hand takes cheese and milk
products, but doesn’t consume eggs.
A person who doesn’t eat any animal product or by
-product, including dairy food is known as a Vegan. ~
Vegans consume only fruits, nuts vegetables, legumes and
grains. Vegans also will not use such things as leather as
they are products, derived from animals. As white sugar
uses a substance, in the process to whiten it, which is
derived from the bones of animals Vegans don’t use white
sugar either.
