there alre all kinds of different types of vegetarians and I was curious, just because I had asked how long you had beena vegetarian, what type of vegetarian are you?


I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, although the only time i will eat eggs and drink milk is if they are organic.

semi-veg. I still eat meat, but am switching to more fish and seafood. My husband is a life-long "meat and taters" guy. It's hard to change after so long, but we are trying.

It is hard to change after so long, I at meat just about every day until I was 17 and I didn even gradually give it up, i just stopped one day. MY boyfriend hates the fact that I am a vegetarian, but he has learned to accept it. He is a meats and tators guy too

I do eat eggs if they are free range. The rule is, if it once had eyes and a brain, I don't eat it! also don't eat Gelatin.

Hmmmm I wonder? Teehee.
I'm kindof odd though - for a few reasons...

like Coliejo, I ate meat every day and often scoffed at Veggies, until last year when I was 17. Okay well, it helped that I got TMJ so I couldn't chew meat anymore (except fish), but then I lost a taste for meat and now, not only is it nasty tasting, but I realize how bad (especially in America - the way it's raised and all) it can be for you!

But for some reason I eat fish but not eggs. Hm... Well, I never was a big fan of them, only occasionally having some scrambled or something. So I just kinda skip eggs now; I might eat some if they were local, though, so I would know exactly what kind of environment they were in (and they might taste different, too!)

And also, I don't drink milk! I eat yogurt, and a love Kefir, but for some reason I also don't drink milk... goat's milk is better, but still, I just have this 'thing' with milk... :-p

Would that be a lacto-vegetarian maybe? I'm guessing since 'lacto-ovo' means milk & eggs then lacto would mean just milk... Wink

Ricky1146, Pleaseeeee stay away from soy. The danger to your endocrine system far outweighs any benefit you think you're getting from it. The marketing hype for soy products makes me so sad and angry. So many people have been hurt by this "poison" because they believed it was healthy for them. You're much better off with raw milk if you must have a milk product. Or almond milk. Or rice milk. I used to eat a lot of soy products and drink soy milk. Now I don't even consider them food products. Sooner or later, symptoms of a health problem will show up. Take care of yourself and drop the soy (in the garbage, where it belongs).

I eat white fish (fish fingers / fis cakes only), but tried sole whilst on holiday.

I also eat eggs and drink milk etc. Basically, I just don't eat meat right out. So I'm like a Lacoto-ovo-pescatarian. That's what I'm calling myself.

soy?
I am lactose intolerant so I drink eighth continent soy milk daily. Occasionally rice milk, but I am enlightened to know the dangers of soy?
