Vegetarian question......

Question

okay, so i just became a vegetarian and i am kind of confused. i don't eat any type of meat but i only eat eggs, cheese, shrimp and lobster. am i still a vegetarian or not?

Answer 1

eggs and cheese are ok but shrimp and lobster are animals so if you are a vegetarian by definition don't eat them. but really it's up to you, so if you don't want lobsters and shrimp to be harmed then don't eat them but if you really don't care............. eat them. i think they're good for you.

Answer 2

you can eat eggs, dairy, tofu and other soy pruducts!

Answer 3

you are a pescetarian (sp?) i.e. not a vegetarian. Vegetarians don't eat the flesh of any animal

Answer 4

absolutely not!  shrimp and lobster are animals.  there's another definition and word to describe someone who only eats seafood.  but i forgot it.  

but it's okay to eat dairy.  a Vegan is someone who is a vegetarian but doesn't eat dairy either.  so your good on that.

Answer 5

theres like all kinds of vegetarian..

im like you too..i dont eat any meat but seafood.and i still consider myself as a vegetarian.but u can also eat some soy stuff too..

i would say that u r still a vegetarian...

Answer 6

Sam, you're mixing up vegan with vegatiarion...

Answer 7

definitely not. shrimp and lobsters are animals.

Answer 8

yea you could

Answer 9

Everyone needs to calm down!! You are off on a good start. Yes you are not a veggie yet, but cutting out what you have is wonderful. I started out by cutting out land animals and then cutting out sea creatures. You are helping the enviroment and your health by not eating land animals. Hopefully one day you will not eat any type of animal. Sometimes vegertairans and vegan forget that for some it is a process. We do not want someone to give up. So I comend you for starting your journey to a cruel free life.  

Answer 10

nope.. get rid of the dairy and the meat.. then maybe you'll be a vegetarian.

the answers before me are jokes,  the claims of vegetarianhood  are simply put,  ignorance in this case.   NO DAIRY!  dairy comes from animals.   NO  EGGS!  get it?   eggs come from chickens...    not  vegetarian.

no seafood, no chicken, no any meat whatso ever.

the confusion,  lack of education and interest is amazing.

Answer 11

Those things are okay to eat as long as you get the ones that grow from the ground.  (sarcasm)

Answer 12

no, you are a pescetarian. vegetarians dont eat animls, and fish are animals

Answer 13

Okay so your a pescatarian. That is okay too. At least this way you will get the protein and nutrition of meat from fish.

Answer 14

Lobster and shrimp are meat and are an animal, so you do still eat meat, and no you are not a vegetarian yet.

Answer 15

Eggs cheese--OK

Lobster, shrimp---not OK

Answer 16

no shrimp and lobster are animals.

some say they are vegetarians but eat seafood. but the real vegetarians say that you are not a vegetarian if something is still dying.

Answer 17

Nope,you're not a vegetarian.

Forget any crud about lacto/ovo varieties.This is just people trying to out-pious each other.

If you're a vegan you eat no animal products.

If your a vegetarian the only thing you eat which has eyes are potatoes.

To put it another way,nothing with a face.

I'm afraid lobsters and shrimps fall into those catagories.

Don't feel the need to have a label,whatever you've stopped eating you are effectivley doing a favour.
