What type of vegetarian are you? Posted: 05-20-08 18:40pm
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

I am not sure what i fall into. I don't
eat meat at all that includes fish and I
don't eat eggs either. I still consume
other dairy products like milk , cheese ,
margarine and yogart.

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

I still get some dairy. However my milk
diet is gone to silk. I am trying to
supliment my dairy with soy alternatives.
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).
