Types of Vegetarians - Vegetarian Food Pyramid
Types of Vegetarians & What They Eat
|
|
There are many reasons why individuals choose the vegetarian way of life. The common thread among vegetarians is the desire for the preservation of life.
While some vegetarians desire a vegetarian way of life with hopes of increasing the quality of life and life span, others may choose a vegetarian diet in an effort to preserve animal life - indeed, an extremely noble sacrifice.
What do vegetarians eat?
One would assume that the Vegetarian Food Pyramid contains all the blocks of the standard food pyramid - minus meats - but not so, because there are many types of vegetarians. Some abstain from meat while others exist on solely raw foods. Here is a line breakdown of the types of vegetarians and a capsule of what they eat:
Semi-Vegetarians: The only meat that Semi-Vegetarians eat are poultry and fish.
Vegans: Do not eat animal products or by-products (such as honey, eggs, milk).
Raw or Living Foodists: Exist on raw foods only.
Fruitarians: Exist on fruit and fruit-like veggies, seeds and nuts.
Ovo Vegetarians: Do not eat meat or animals of any sort and they do not eat any dairy, except eggs.
Lacto Vegetarians: Do not eat meat or animals of any sort, or eggs. They do however, eat dairy products.
