WELCOME TO THE VEGGIE CLUB!

I thought it was about time to start a food club for the non animal/dairy eaters in the world. _smile.gif

Here's some vocabulary for those of you who are considering or questioning if you're one of the following:

Vegan: A vegetarian who omits all animal products from the diet.

Vegetarian: A person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.

Lacto-ovo-vegetarian: Eats both dairy products and eggs. This is the most common type of vegetarian diet.

Lacto-vegetarian: Eats dairy products but not eggs.

Ovo-vegetarian: Eats eggs but not dairy products.

Fruitarian: A type of vegan diet where very few processed or cooked foods are eaten. Consists mainly of raw fruit, grains and nuts. Fruitarians believe only plant foods that can be harvested without killing the plant should be eaten.

Macrobiotic: A diet followed for spiritual and philosophical reasons. Aims to maintain a balance between foods seen as ying (positive) or yang (negative). The diet progresses through ten levels, becoming increasingly restrictive. Not all levels are vegetarian, though each level gradually eliminates animal products. The highest levels eliminate fruit and vegetables, eventually reaching the level of a brown rice diet.

Raw- Foodists: People who only eat vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds that have not been heated over 118 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pescetarian: A vegetarian that consumes seafood as an exception.

---------------------------------

You don't have to be any of the following, you can just support it or even if you're planning on becoming one in time, join!

I'm a pescetarian, vegetarian in training.

ohmy.gif Well...then that would be misfortunate. But, hey, if a vegetarian wants to join a vegetarian club, who am I to say they can't? xD

My name's Britt.I'm a lacto-vegetarian.
Honestly, I just stopped eating meat, like, a week ago. pinch.gif biggrin.gif So far, I'm doing pretty good though.I'd told my mom a few months ago that I wanted to stop eating meat, but her took me a while to convince her I was serious. >__< She finally went out and bought me some food.XD

My best friend's mother freaked when she found out I was a pescet. She gave me the "you're still growing" speech. I never know how to explain to asian parents how I feel about eating meat. pinch.gif

Thanks, Jane. It shouldn't be too hard since I hate steak and don't eat other processed meat that much anyway. happy.gif

They cant FORCE you do eat things if you dont want to.What are they going to do chase you with a feeding tube and stick meat and fish down your throat?

Eh; that would've been cool if you got her to become one at a young age. But usually. The parents have to teach them when they're born. sad.gif

My parents were vegetarians before I was born.
I not only dislike the idea of "anything with a face" but I don't like the taste either sick.gif
