Being a vegetarian who eats fish I often get questions (actually more like drilled) about why I don't eat normally - that is meat and three veg type meals. I'm not really one for labels and mostly either don't mention it or just say I don't eat meat. People are always quick to find out whether I'm vegan, vegetarian or have some allergies and now I have found the answers!
Couldn't resist putting this on here. They made me laugh at how far people will go just to have a label to be able to pigeon hole you with.
Vegan: A person who doesn't eat meat, poultry, fish, seafood, eggs, or dairy. They usually avoid honey and foods processed with animal products like gelatin, lanolin. Often, vegans avoid wearing animal products like leather, silk, down feathers, and wool. Vegans are sometimes called "strict vegetarians."
Vegetarian: A person who doesn't eat meat, poultry, or fish, but does eat dairy products and/or eggs.
Pescatarian: A person who doesn't eat meat or poultry, but does eat fish; they may or may not eat dairy products and/or eggs.
Pollotarian: A person who doesn't eat red meat or fish, but does eat chicken; they may or may not eat dairy products and/or eggs.
Lacto-ovo Vegetarian: Someone who eats eggs and milk products, but is otherwise a vegan.
Lacto Vegetarian: Someone who eats milk products, but not eggs, and is otherwise a vegan.
Beegan: A vegan who eats honey. Sometimes this is because they don't truly believe it to be an animal product.
Dietary vegan: Someone whose diet is vegan, but who doesn't avoid all non-food animal products, like for clothing and toiletries.
Flexitarian: Someone who primarily eats vegetarian food, but allows for exceptions occasionally.
Lessetarian: A person who tries to reduce their consumption of animal products, but doesn't necessarily eliminate them.
Hopefully that gave you a smile for the day too!
