What type of vegetarian would I be?!


Question:

What type of vegetarian would I be?

I eat dairy products, fish, eggs (but not very often), and I am forced into eating poultry (although I eat very little and when I eat it my parents pratically have to write a verbal essay to get me to eat it). I do not eat beef, or pork, what type of vegetarian would I be?


Answers:
Pescetarian, I think.

"Pesco/pollo vegetarianism", "pescetarianism" or "semi-vegetarianism" are neologisms coined in the media to describe certain lifestyles of restricted diet. Most commonly, these include the practice of not eating certain types of meat (most commonly red meat such as beef, pork, lamb) while allowing other meats, such as seafood. As with lacto-ovo vegetarianism, there are usually no restrictions on non-flesh animal products such as dairy and eggs.

why are you vegetrian go eat meat its all good being a vegetrian will ruin your life wen u get older

you would be a level 2 veg
to move to level 3, you need to eat 5000 more carrots

a wishy washy one

I believe it's pescovegetarian, occasionally pesco-pollovegetarian.

well, i've heard of like "ovo-lacto" vegetarians.. ovum is egg and lacto is milk... the fish thing means your not fully vegetarian.
from what you've posted, your diet sounds sensible. don't eat refined grains.

none
cuz you eat fish and eggs and dairy products
vegetrian on eat plants or soy
try fry tofu instead of meat
its really good
dip in this asian soy tofu sauce

Did you know that "Vegetarian" is an indian word? It means "Lousy Hunter"

the kind that cheats but seriously i dont think eating eggs and dairy products is bad because they would be wasted if they werent eaten and their nutritious just get organic milk


little known fact: cows must be milked or their udders will eventually explode. so just think of it as saving the cows. Thats a two for one deal right there

You wouldn't be one.

To be a vegetarian you cant eat poultry or other meats etc... However when it comes to a vegan, they don't eat ANYTHING that may have come from an animal such as dairy products.

By the sound of it, your not a vegetarian nor are you a Vegan

You are not a vegetarian. You eat meat.

your not one!
u still eat chicken

you are a pesco/pollo vegetarian....meaning you live on a restricted diet consisting of mainly veggies/fruit/dairy and selective meat usually that selective meat is seafood. this is the vegetarian that i am. i can't stand the texture of meat. i could care less about the cow being killed i just don't like to eat it.

You're not a vegetarian, you still eat fish and chicken. Why are your parents forcing you to eat fish and chicken anway? You can get the nutrients by taking a multi-vitamin.

You are not one by any means.
You are just a person who does not eat beef or pork.

Give up fish and chicken completely and you would be a standard lacto-ovo vegetarian.
Give up the dairy and egg as well (and a few other things such as gelatone, etc.), and you would be a complete vegetarian, a.k.a. a vegan.

you can eat fish and still be considred a vegetarian. I don't know why but i know you can. I'm a vegetarian and i don't eat fish becasue i don't like fish. eggs and milk are fine unless you're trying to be a vegan. You can consider yourself a vegetartian until you start eating bird and animal meat. So you're not really a vegeatrian, but you're closer then most people. LOL

As has been said, if you are eating fish and poultry, then you are not a vegetarian. The term "pesco-vegetarian" is a bit like saying I am a "socialism-fascist."

Yup, I think you'll have got the message by now. You are not a vegetarian of any description. You are just someone who, from what you say, doesn't eat red meat.
The reason that chefs and restaurants are commonly confused by the term vegetarian is entirely because of people claiming to be veggie, then ordering tuna or salmon or even chicken.
Please, please, please, if you really want to be a vegetarian, then be one! Take the plunge, take the responsibility - give up the fish, the chicken, check you're not getting gelatine. Research the subject online - the Vegetarian Society website is a great resource.

Um.. wannabe vegetarian? Sorry, but eating poultry and fish is against vegetarian. But great job for limiting the beef!

Scientifically you are a Pesco/pollo vegetarian, otherwise known as a pescetarian or a semi-vegetarian

You are no type of vegetarian. Vegetarians do not eat fish or chicken.

Just to make it clear. A pescetarian is not any kind of vegetarian and there is no such thing as a semi vegetarian.

Not a very good one, u eat chicken yucky.

Normal Vegetarians good

A GUILTY one:) It's better to have a chicken (fish etc.) in ur belly than in ur MIND... Just eat what u feel like eating and stop worrying. Eventhough being a veggie is hip nowdays, not being one aint a crime!

if you eat fish or poultry (even if it is forced) you are not a vegetarian. not yet.

If you eat fish and chicken you are not a vegetarian. Plain and simple.

You aren't any type of vegetarian at all you are a flesh eater, stop kidding yourself and others.
