Whats a strict vegatrian?
Answers:
It depends on who is saying it because we each have our own definition of what is strict.
This isn't a name or a title like "strict-vegetarian," but simply saying someone is strict.
For some misguided people, they believe a vegetarian is strict when they understand the very concept of vegetarianism, and simple things such as -vegetarians do not eat animals (they don't quite get that vegetarian does not mean
I-like-vegetables- as-a-side-dish-next-to-my-big -dead-salmon.)

Oftentimes vegans are called strict vegetarians, but no, they are just vegans. If someone didn't know what a vegan was, *a strict vegetarian* would be a good way to begin to describe the lifestyle because it gives the person a reference point.
And sometimes, people refer to vegetarianism itself as strict because they are referencing the amount of discipline they feel is needed to lead a vegetarian life.
But yes, there is no *strict-vegetarian* term; some people just like to use adjectives.

Strictly vegan. No meat at all including fish. Also sometimes no egg or dairy in some people's cases...
I use to work for a Airline and we had to enter special meals into our system. So I'm familiar with special diets.
A strict vegetarian would be one who is ovo-lacto(eggs and dairy) but is very strict in which eggs and dairy they eat. They will only eat vegetarian fed eggs, and chese that does not have animal enzymese in it. Sometimes chese will have enzymese from a cows stomach linning in it, but often they are microbial vegetarian enzymes however most ingredients just say "enzymes" so a strict vegetarian would not eat this unless it specifically states it was vegetarian enzymes (which most don't even if they are.)
Sometimes vegans are also considered strict vegetarians, they don't eat dairy or eggs, but I don't know why they would call themselves that and not jsut vegan as the name was made to differentiate them from vegetarians.
I would say strictly vegetrain can be either a fruitarian or a vegan. I say fruitarian because they don't eat seed as they consider that they have life too and it's equvivalent to killing one life.
No such thing.
There are vegetarians, and non-vegetarians.
Its simple.
People should not confuse things by making up thier own definitions for words that have been in the dictionaries for over 100 years.
The internationally accepted definition of a vegetarian is someone who does not eat Meat, fish, Poultry or slaughter by-products.
So simple.........
Please ignore all this strict/flexi/demi/fishy rubbish
A mean teacher, giving out homework and eating broccoli.
The strictest is a fruitinarian. They only eat the parts of plants that don't kill the whole plant.
There is no such thing as a strict vegetarian. You are either vegetarian, or vegan. That's it. The term strict vegetarian is used by people who never heard the word vegan. Vegetarians never eat any dead animal parts. They do however eat the products live animals make like milk, eggs, and honey. Vegetarians may or may not use leather. Vegans use no animal products of any kind at all. They should also be careful about previous uses of animal products to produce their food, such as animal based fertilizers. Vegans should not also eat certain types of sugar which are refined using animal bones, or certain types of alcoholic drinks refined with animal body parts. There is another type of vegan called a raw foodist. A raw foodist will go even a step farther than a vegan. They only eat food which has already been released from it's source and is eaten in it's uncooked form. For example, the apple will have already fallen from the tree when it is eaten.
Just to collect some downward thumbs I'll admit to often using that terminology to describe myself. Why? I won't insult our 'five letter friends' by using the term for me since I occasionally use products that contain traces of dairy and/or egg. While technically I fall under the lacto-ovo label I don't use that term since it results in me getting served glasses of cow goo, scrambled ovum etc.which I haven't touched in decades.
Most of the omnivorous world seems to understand the term "strict vegetarian" to mean no animals (including fish), no milk, no egg! It's (for me) just a practical term to avoid hassles with folks that don't really understand what vegetarians are!
A recent example of this was a business dinner/meeting where they were simply told I'm vegetarian. They had flown in a large wild caught Salmon as the centerpiece of the 'festivities'. My lack of appreciation (i.e. I wasn't about to eat it) blew the deal and two of the nabobs apologies for the blunder contained the phrase "We didn't know you were a *strict* vegetarian". Using the term avoids this kind of
Most omnivores still think vegan means you're into Star Trek and only eat Vulcan Plomik soup or they just gaze at you with the dull glazed eyes of their favorite slaughtered animal. Thus the use of the term "strict vegetarian".
'nuff said?
A strict vegetarian is a vegan. A vegan not only eliminates the consumption of meat, but doesn't use animal products of any kind whatsoever.
