Vegetarianism I supposed is the practice of diet that excludes meats (including fish, shellfish, and poultry). There are several kinds of this practice, some of which also exclude eggs, dairy products and even honey. They are called Vegan, Lacto-vegetarianism, Ovo-vegetarianism, Lacto-ovo vegetarianism and last but not least called Semi-vegetarianism.
The Vegan diet excludes all animal products from the diet as mentioned above. This is more so called 'plant-based diets'.
Lacto-vegetarianism includes dairy products but not eggs.
Ovo- vegetarianism includes eggs but not dairy products.
Lacto-ovo vegetarianism includes both eggs and dairy products.
Semi-vegetarianism: is a diet that consist largely with vegetarian foods, excludes certain meats, particularly red meat but may include fish, shellfish, and sometimes poultry, as well as dairy products and eggs. If any of you are interested of reducing the amount of animal flesh consumed or thinking to become vegetarian for the first time, you can try this for a start, gradually cut off the animal flesh at all and follow any other practices mentioned above.
Semi-vegetarianism, it breaks into 3 categories, they are:
Pescetarianism: is a diet that excludes all meat except fish, shellfish, and crustacea (large group of aquatic species, living in either marine or fresh water environments, includes crab, crayfish, shrimp, and lobster). In my case, I fall into this category but strickly no poultry. Perhaps oneday, I will become the true vegan, who knows.
Pollotarianism: is a diet that excludes all meat except poultry and fowl, and
Flexitarianism: is a diet that consists primarily of vegetarian food, but that allows occasional exceptions.
Most of vegetarianism may be related to religion, ethics, environment, taste , or even the biggest factor is being healthy as an individual. Well, at least that's what drove me to become vegetarian, or "Pescetarianism". And slowly from here, I am starting to appreciate the raw taste of the food itself.
