Am I a vegetarian?!


Question:

Am I a vegetarian?

I have just found this definition on Biology-online.org:

Pescovegetarian: A vegetarian who consumes dairy products, eggs, and fish, but does not consume other animal flesh.

Whilst I don't eat meat (including fish) I do eat dairy products and eggs. I also buy leather shoes, but this is usually because I forget to look until I'm confronted by the leather logo after I've brought them home!!

So because I eat eggs and dairy products does this make me a vegetarian or a pescovegetarian - or something else altogether?


Answers:
You are an ovo-lacto vegetarian if you just eat dairy and eggs but no meat.

Well you sound the same as me and I call myself a vegetarian so...! = )

I think that it's vegetarian.

Biology-online is wrong. It's pescotarian. Vegetarian's don't eat fish.

Sure you are a veg-head. Most vegetarians do eat eggs and dairy.

Most vegetarians don't worry much about leather items or wool or other things that come from animals. They're only concern is not eating them.

It's good that you DO think about where the leather comes from. But it doesn't kick you out of the Veg Club to buy leather shoes.

no

a pescovegetarian

Possibly a pesky vegetarian? Joke... Yeah, you sound pretty veggy to me... and why not go for giving up leather as well? Apart from the fact that it can be tricky to find comfy shoes... ooh, me feet...

Some people can't read! You state you don't eat meat (including fish), so folks, what? You are a vegetarian. :)

You would be considered vegetarian. I am pescatarian, which means I do not eat meat, but do eat fish and seafood. I personally could care less what I am called, as long as I am eating the foods I enjoy. SO many versions of alternative diets, and everyone "afraid" they might be consuming what they "shouldn't be. The key thing is it is YOUR diet, eat what you want. Stay Healthy..........

Yep your a Veg Head

if you do not eat meat you are
if you do not eat dairy and meat then you are called a vegan
so if you are a vegetarian you can eat dairy and you can eat fish but no meat

You are a vegetarian.
The person who eats fish in the story is not a vegetarian.
Misinformation like that article is enough to drive girl insane.
There is no such thing as a vegetarian who eats dead animals.
:)

You can be a vegetarian and wear leather, but why bother? If you don't need dead things to eat, why have dead things to wear?
If you are interested, I'm sure you can find plenty of shoes with the label "all man-made materials."
These stores have lots of cool things like that.

your veg dude =]


consuming eggs, milk, cheese, ect. iSN'T meat. and since you're not eating the actual flesh, then your good


and usually the leather is for VEGANS. aka scrict vegatarians, who don't even wear leather, eat eggs, or any of that.

no if you eat any flesh you are not a vegetarian if you eat dairy you still are a vegetarian

your a vegetarian. your not a vegan, they use no animal products.
although if i were you i wouldnt use leather.

If you eat fish then you are not a vegetarian. You are a sea animal eater.

you're definitely a vegetarian, but not a vegan. obviously dairy products and eggs aren't meat, but you should try to find the eggs that come from cage-free chickens who are vegetarian-fed and all that... and you should try to check if your shoes are leather before you buy them, but vegetarianism is about what you eat and not what you wear. so just don't eat your leather shoes...

Yes

you are a vegetarian. when you dont eat flesh or animal byproducts(eggs or dairy products) you are a vegan.

The term pescovegetarian is made up and does not make any sense. Vegetarians do not eat animals and fish are animals so the word is cancelling itself out. There are no vegetarians that eat fish.
