Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 For me, I don't find it necessary to make people less vegetarian if they choose to eat milk products and eggs (ovo-lacto-vegetarian), or to eat fish (pesco-vegetarian). I find it to be a very personal and tolerant way of eating, tho some would disagree. I've had a couple go-rounds with strict vegans (NO animal products of ANY kind in ANY thing including clothing) and I just refuse to get into a mouth battle about it. It's just too great a way of peaceful living to have anyone be judgmental about the kind of ve*an I choose to be! Jillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I just joined recently and have been very interested in the conversations here as well as the wonderful recipe sharing. As I mentioned when I joined, most of my friends are vegetarian and although I personally am not, the way that I eat and the things that I choose to eat make many people think that I am. I just happen to like good-for-you food and no one can deny that the vegetarian diet is a super healthy one. My question is this: some of my friends allow only eggs and dairy products in their diet, some allow all kinds of seafood, some are vegan; not a one eats red meat or chicken, but all of them consider themselves to be vegetarian . These are intelligent, caring people who made this choice (many when they were teenagers)for all sorts of very good reasons. Do others of you take the same sort of liberal view of what it means to be a vegetarian? I'm a very instinctivley inclusive person and I have no quibble with how they want to view themselves, but I'm very curious what people's thoughts on this subject might be.
