Definition of Vegetarian and VegetarianismThere is no exact definition of the words 'vegetarian' or 'vegetarianism.' They cover a wide range of meat-restricted eating habits. In general, a vegetarian is someone whose diet omits animal products, but some vegetarians do eat some meat-products (milk, eggs, meat fats) and some "vegetarians" eat fish, although we prefer a stricter definition of vegetarianism which excludes ALL flesh or meat-eating. The strictest type of vegetarian is a 'vegan' who avoids all flesh as well as all meat-by-products and who avoids all products of animal origin. Main Types of Vegetarian and VegetarianismThe most common types of vegetarian are: Semi or
Part Vegetarians
