Well, I found my category. They called us lactovegetarians….

There are several categories of vegetarians, all of whom avoid meat and/or animal products. The vegan or total vegetarian diet includes only foods from plants: fruits, vegetables, legumes (dried beans and peas), grains, seeds, and nuts. The lactovegetarian diet includes plant foods plus cheese and other dairy products. The ovo-lactovegetarian (or lacto-ovovege-tarian) diet also includes eggs. Semi-vegetarians do not eat red meat but include chicken and fish with plant foods, dairy products, and eggs.

It has been exactly one month since I have refrained from eating flesh, for today. Now and then I feel like I need not to be a total vege, but again mind changes. Anyway my test run is over and it was perfect. And now the application is live.

I think that as a matter of clarity, the term vegetarian should be applied only to people whose diet is exclusively of plant origin.

All others should properly be described as people who do not eat meat.

I find terms like lacto-vegetarian rather cumbersome and quite frankly, ugly.

Naturally, this is not to quibble with your choice of food, just the use of the English language.

Yes, its something with use of the language. Those literary people also should have some work to do (lol). FYI: I found that description from Google definitions.

Hey Null, Thanks for commenting, i'm a reader of ur blog as well.

If I can contribute to save at least one life from killing for flesh, that’s my achievement.

Well, I guess that makes two of us. For the record I'm generally vegan* (But I make an exception for Ice Cream**).

*People confuse that with Vogon (see H2G)

**Who can say no to Häagen-Dazs
