Here are some food pyramids (different for vegetarians and vegans)

that you can bookmark or print out and stick on your refrigerator.

There are others, but these have the virtue of being pretty LOL

 

VEGETARIAN FOOD PYRAMID:

<a href= " http://www.dietobio.com/dossiers/en/food_guide/pyramid.html " >http://

www.dietobio.com/dossiers/en/food_guide/pyramid.html</a>

 

VEGAN FOOD PYRAMIDS:

<a href= " http://www.nutrispeak.com/vegan_food_guide1.htm " >http://

www.nutrispeak.com/vegan_food_guide1.htm</a>

 

and HERE is a good (vegan) link to bookmark since you can click into each

section of the pyramid to get details. I like this one.

<a href= " http://vegan.uchicago.edu/nutrition/06.html " >http://vegan.uchicago.edu/

nutrition/06.html</a>

 

I hope this helps anyone relatively new to vegetarianism in all its forms -

lacto-ovo vegetarianism (eggs and dairy), ovo-vegetarianism (eggs, no dairy),

lacto-vegetarianism (dairy, no eggs), and veganism (no eggs, dairy or honey).

In all cases, of course, no dead animals are consumed (including those that

swim or those that hang out near those that do) and no dead animal products.

 

Best, Pat

In regards to the uchicago link, they open with " VEGETARIANS are those who do

not eat the flesh of animals. There are several different kinds of vegetarians: "

 

and conclude with " There are also people called “semi-vegetarians” who consume

fish and sometimes even chicken. They tend to do so for health reasons, since

red meat is particularly high in saturated fat and cholesterol. "

 

I'm curious...How can one be considered a semi-vegetarian? Either one is or

isn't. Why would eating the flesh of chicken and fish be considered any less

humane than eating that of beef or pork for whatever reason? With that said, I

guess any one that eats any kind of meat is considered a semi-vegetarian or a

semi-meat eater which means they are not vegetarians.

Any other views on this?

Yeah, I hear that, " I'm a vegetarian except I still eat chicken. " (or fish,

usually) I don't consider them vegetarians but I don't get into it with them

either. Semi-vegetarians mayyyybe could be someone like me who isn't a

vegetarian but makes/eats more vegetarian than non? I personally just consider

that NON-vegetarian. But maybe that's who is being referred to.

>Why would eating the flesh of chicken and fish be considered any less humane

I think your answer is contained in your own post :) You quote the page as

saying that

these 'Semi-Vegetarians' abstain from red meat for _health_ purposes. Clearly,

according

to that statement, such semi-vegetarians are not primarily concerned with the

humane

reasons for cutting back on the consumption of me*t. Some others, however, could

be

making the transition towards vegetarianism. (It's not quite like being

semi-pregnant or

'almost' a virgin :) but- whoops - don't want to open up that topic here LOL)

 

Btw, we have a number of members here who might well consider themselves to be

semi-

vegetarians out there in the Real World. We do prefer they don't call themselves

that to

others, because it confuses people a lot about what a vegetarian is. But it

seems to me,

the more the years ramble along, that the world is already confused about

vegetarianism

and is unlikely to be made more so because those few people like to ally

themselves with

the rest of us in some way :) Just mho.

 

Love, Pat
