What exactly do vegetarians eat?

This isn’t an easy question to answer – there seems to be a wide variety of vegetarians and I’m not sure there’s such a thing as a ‘REAL’ vegetarian.I’d suggest that most vegetarians choose not to eat meats such as beef, pork and mutton. Some other vegetarians will eat some amounts of poultry and/or fish. Others don’t eat any meat, fish or poultry but do eat dairy products.Vegans tend to be more ‘purely’ vegetarian and don’t eat any animal products – be it the flesh of the animal (meat) or something that the animal produces (milk, eggs). In addition to animals, vegans don’t use foods produced by insects – they won’t consume honey. In addition, vegans won’t wear leather.

vegetarians is a loose term i n general they dont eat meat, some vegetarians(octovegetarians??) check their products and make sure that egg, beef stock or chicken stock is not even an ingredient in their dry goods, while others are just against flesh. There is another kind as well PETA can give a lot of information on this I have a lot of family who are vegetarians, and they will not eat any steak or ham. No animal meat. They will have eggs, but that is as close to meat they get. They wouldn’t eat turkey. They drink milk for the calcium and cook with butter, but they would prefer to stay away from it. The nutrition is needed though. I hope I helped!

This question was asked and this was the best answer:depends here is an indepth breakdown of who eats what:Vegans don’t eat any products of animal origin. This includes not only meat, but also dairy products (milk, butter, cheese), eggs and even honey. Many vegans do eat onion and garlic. The strictest vegans don’t wear leather, wool or silk and also avoid health and beauty products made with ingredients derived from animals — for instance, lip balm with bees wax or skin creams with lanolin (an oil extracted from sheep’s wool). Although some people who choose a vegan diet do so because they are allergic or insensitive to dairy products or eggs, most choose veganism because of ethical concerns. Most vegans have a deep commitment to ending the exploitation and mistreatment of animals. The term vegan, formed from first three and last two letters of the word veg etari an , was coined in London in 1944 by seven vegetarians who founded the Vegan Society. Lacto-vegetarians/ Religion vegetarians / Lactose-Vegetarians are strict vegetarians who may consume milk and dairy products (optional) . Strictly No meat, no fishes, no eggs, no onion and no garlic. Lacto comes from the Latin word for milk.Ovo-vegetarians are people who still eat eggs. Ovo from the Latin word for egg.Lacto-ovo-vegetarians / Ovo-Lacto-vegetarians are those who eat both dairy products and eggs. Macrobiotics A macrobiotic diet is mainly vegetarian, but macrobiotic diets often include seafood. In this diet all other meat products are excluded, as are eggs and dairy products. They also do not eat “nightshade vegetables” (potato, pepper and eggplant), refined sugar and tropical fruits. This diet contains many foods found in Asian countries such as miso soup, root vegetables (daikon and lotus) and sea vegetables (seaweed, kelp, arame). It emphasizes eating locally grown foods that are in season. Meals consist of 50% to 60% grains, 25% locally grown produce, and the rest of the diet mainly consists of beans and soups. In lesser amounts fruits, nuts and seeds are eaten. This diet is based on the Chinese principles of yin and yang. Some people follow this diet as a philosophy of life and others follow it for health reasons. Flexitarian – a vegetarian who is flexible enough to occasionally eat meat or fish.Demi-vegetarians don’t eat red meat or poultry, but they do eat fish, eggs.Pescetarians / Pesco-Vegetarians / Pesce-Vegetarians eat a vegetarian diet but also consume fish. Pescetarians may avoid red meat and poultry because they do not want to support factory farming or other inhumane methods of raising animals. For many people making the transition to vegetarianism, pescetarianism is a stage along the way to an entirely meatless diet.Pollo-Vegetarians eat poultry, such as chicken, turkey, and duck. Meat Restrictors avoid red meat, but may eat fish and poultry. Pescaterians Vegetarian still eats fish occasionally. Vegetarian Sympathizers – Folks who do eat meat, fish, and chicken — but perhaps much less than they once did, and perhaps more carefully (they may choose organically raised meats). They lean somewhat towards a low- or no-meat way in their thinking. Frequently Sympathizers and Pesces are on the continuum towards a lacto- or vegan way of eating. Partial, occasional, casual, transitional and social vegetarians As the media releases more and more reports on the health benefits of a vegetarian diet, the number of people who are curious about vegetarianism continues to grow. Many of these people choose to reduce their meat intake instead of eliminating meat from their diet altogether. They may choose to give up just red meat, or they may only eat meat when they know it comes from small-scale producers who treat their livestock humanely. They may want to eat a stricter vegetarian diet but are temporarily prevented from doing so — for instance, parents with non-vegetarian children who aren’t ready to become vegetarians. Or they may eat a vegetarian diet with at home with vegetarian friends or family members and only eat meat when they’re out with non-vegetarian friends.

I can vary for the most part anything that is not meat. Vegetarianism is the practice of not eating meat, including beef, poultry, fish, and their by-products, with or without the use of dairy products or eggs. The exclusion may also extend to products derived from animal carcasses, such as lard, tallow, gelatin, rennet and cochineal. Some who follow the diet also choose to refrain from wearing clothing that involves the death of animals, such as leather, silk, fur and many down feathers. While most vegetarians consume dairy products, veganism is a stricter form which excludes dairy, eggs, and any foods that contain these or other animal products. Okay, Vegans dont eat any animal product. Vegetarians just don’t eat meat.
