What is a vegetarian?
A vegetarian is someone who lives on a diet that is free of meat, fish and fowl or the flesh of any animal.
While all vegetarians exclude meat from their diet, many eat dairy and eggs (lacto-ovo-
vegetarians); and some go further and exclude eggs, dairy and honey from their diet (vegans); a small number eat a type of vegan diet that includes only those plant foods that can be harvested without killing the plant (fruitarians).
