Different Types of Vegetarianism!

[[Matsuko]]

About
In the last guild, several new members of both the guild or the diet have asked what the different types of vegetarianism are. I just thought I'd post this now before repeats start popping up.

NOTE: The following is a list of types of vegetarianism and diets related to vegetarianism. Some people may not think some entries belong here, but this is a resource and I'm trying to make it thorough but at the same time not a drag to read.

One particular issue was how semi-, pollo-, and pesce- tarianism should not really be considered a type of vegetarian diet. Most of these can be transition stages towards lacto-ovo-vegetarianism. Also, depending on a person's beliefs (religion), chicken and fish (and probably many other types of meat), may not be considered meat at all.

Types of Vegetarianism
...feel free to suggest more types of vegetarianism to put on the list...

Freegan:
Will only eat food that has or is about to be thrown away by someone else.
Semi-/Half-/Transitional/Social Vegetarians:
Eat meat, but try not to, or not so often.
Pollotarian:
Eat no meat or fish. They do consume poultry however (also eggs and milk).
Pescetarian:
Eat no meat or poultry. They do consume fish and other seafoods however (also eggs and milk).
Lacto-Vegetarians:
Eat no meat, fish, or poultry. They do consume milk and dairy products however.
Ovo-Vegetarians:
Eat no meat, fish, or poultry. They do consume eggs however.
Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarians:
Eat no meat, fish, or poultry. They do consume milk and dairy products and eggs however.
Sproutarian:
Eat mostly sprouted seeds, grains, pulses, and rice. They believe in eating all their sprouts and vegetables raw as virtually all the nutrients are lost when heated past 47C.
Beegans:
Eat nothing that comes from an animal except honey.
Vegans:
Eat nothing that comes from an animal (including milk, dairy products, eggs, honey, etc.)
Fruitarians:
Eat only foods of plant origin that can be obtained without killing the plant (such as fruits, nuts, seeds, etc.)
Macrobiotic:
Mostly vegetarian, but seafood is allowed. In the highest 'level' of Macro, only brown rice is eaten (considered unhealthy). This diet is based on the Chinese principals of yin and yang. It can be followed for a philosophical nature or for health reasons.

I'm a non-wasting vegan. In other words, I will not eat animal by-products unless they're going to waste.

I think they call that a "freegan."

yeah thats called freegan...ive got alot of roadkill eatin friends...i think an important addition to veganism is anti-consumerist awarness...consumer capitalism (even of just vegan products) results in the death of many animals and destruction of the earth (the soybean industry is quite enviromentaly destructive) industiral agriculture itself kills animals using pestacides and in the harvesting process and denies animal natural habitat

I dont eat meat. I do however eat dairy and eggs. Would that also be consitered a strait "vegetarian" diet?

Yeah, when people talk about vegetarians, they generally mean ovo-lacto.

Most vegetarian cookbooks that you buy still contain ingredients of milk, egg, and cheese products, along with other non-vegan items. Usually one has to buy a vegan cookbook to get a truly animal by-product-free recipe.

I can proudly say that I am a Lacto-Vegetarian

Somehow I had failed to mention that I'm a Lacto-Ovo vegetarian. I hate it when people say I'm eating baby chickens. They weren't fertalized!!!
