A vegetarian is someone who does not eat anything that has ever had a heartbeat, a face or a mother. In other words, no animal flesh in the minors. Someone claiming to be a vegetarian but eats fish or poultry, for example, is not a vegetarian but an omnivore with a diet characterized. Omnivores eat plants and flesh. For carnivores, meat is the mainstay of their diet. There are three general types of vegetarian: 1. Vegan 2. Lacto 3. Ovo-lacto.

“Vegan” ( “pronounced; vee-gun”) describes one who eats no animal products at all. This includes the failure of eggs, egg whites and all dairy products. ‘Vegans’ type behave as strict vegetarians. “Lacto” is referring these vegetarians who include dairy in their diet but no eggs or egg whites. “Ovo-lacto” is this group which includes eggs and dairy. They comprise the largest class of vegetarians. However, no vegetarian does not consume any product whose ingredients are derived from the flesh of living creatures. Vegetarians avoid cautious even soups and broths made with bases of beef or chicken and foods containing gelatine which is made by boiling animal remains.

Vegetarians are growing in number. Because of the many benefits of this healthy diet, it is not inconceivable to consider that eventually more people will ‘vege-heads’ and that ‘flesh-heads’. It is simply a process of education and experience and desire to live a healthy and spiritually a lifetime. Being a vegetarian, once heralded as strange and weird, is now fully accepted. With the relative abundance of foods and products other than meat on the market today, a number that grows rapidly, it is easy to make the switch. Each must do is overcome the inertia of his salary – not a difficult task when one considers the difference and benefits of the transaction.
