I'd like to become a member I was veggie for 8 years but was severly anemic, I need to eat meat as supplements were not as effective and I do understand that eating meat is the 'natural' way to get your iron and I'm doing ok now. But as an honory member I'll join, I'm there in spirit and I think you do a good job!

ok here are the classifications:
Lacto-ovo veggie: the classic run of the mill type veggie which is what the food leabels cater for - you do not eat meat or fish, but do eat eggs and dairy.
Lacto - veggie: you do not eat meat,fish or eggs but do have dairy
Vegan: no animal products - no meat, fish, eggs or dairy
Semi - Veg: trickier this is a psuedoclassifcation - um you only eat white meat/fish -

I was a vegetarian for almost an entire year when i was 12, but i decided to turn back to my meat-eating ways. I still only eat fish and chicken though but that's more of a taste issue.(Original post by BlackHawk)

PS. Let me be an honourary member! I love broccoli! -

PROTEIN RICH FOODS –
ALTERNATIVES TO MEAT
2-3 portions daily. This group
would be traditionally looked
at as the meat section.
Vegetarians get a plentiful
supply of protein and iron
from pulses, nuts, seeds,
eggs, tofu, soya, mycoprotein
and wheat protein -

Does anyone get annoyed by the fact that most sweets are not suitable for vegetarians?
I wonder if anyone actually knows that one E number - which is for Cochineal - red colouring - is made from crushed beetles!?!
Ahh because of Gelatine I can't eat cola bottles although I have done mistakenly in the past. I remember buying a bag full and then remembering on the way home - my neighbour was pleased with getting a free bagful though. -

I'm a piscaterian - one of those odd fish-eating types. Basically, my morals are more emotive than systematic, and i just don't like fish as much as other animals. Wouldn't be bothered about the crushing beatles thing either. Guess I'm just heartless.
