From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Vegetarianism is the practice of following a diet that excludes meat (including game and slaughter by-products; fish, shellfish and other sea animals; and poultry). There are several variants of the diet, some of which also exclude eggs and/or some products produced from animal labour such as dairy products and honey. The vegan diet is a form of vegetarianism which excludes all animal products from the diet, such as meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, eggs, and honey. Those who practice veganism for ethical reasons often exclude animal products from their diet as part of a larger practice of abstaining from the use of animals for any purpose (e.g. leather, fur, etc.), often out of support for animal rights. Most vegetarians consume dairy products, and many eat eggs. Lacto-vegetarianism includes dairy products but excludes eggs, ovo-vegetarianism includes eggs but not dairy, and lacto-ovo vegetarianism includes both eggs and dairy products. Semi-vegetarianism consists of a diet largely of vegetarian foods, but may include fish and sometimes poultry, as well as dairy products and eggs. The association of semi-vegetarianism with vegetarianism in popular vernacular, particularly pescetarianism (also called pesco-vegetarianism and described as a "vegetarian" diet that includes fish), has led to what vegetarian groups cite as improper categorisation of these diets as vegetarian. The Vegetarian Society, which initiated popular usage of the term vegetarian as early as 1847, condemns the association of semi-vegetarian diets as valid vegetarianism; the organisation points out that the consumption of fish is not vegetarian. The reasons for choosing vegetarianism may be related to one or more of the following: morality, religion, culture, ethics, aesthetics, environment, society, economy, politics, taste, or health. A generic term for both vegetarianism and veganism, as well as for similar diets, is "plant-based diets". From Wikipedia under the

My cooking skills are very limited, most of which are for non-vegetarian meals. What cookbooks are good beginners guides for vegetarians inexperienced in making vegetarian meals? Asked by Yahoo Sucks - Mon Aug 27 12:02:03 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. This is an older book, but has some good, simple recipes: Quick Vegetarian Pleasures: More than 175 Fast, Delicious, and Healthy Meatless Recipes by Jeanne Lemlin This is another good one for easy recipes with some good variety also: Student's Vegetarian Cookbook, Revised: Quick, Easy, Cheap, and Tasty Vegetarian Recipes by Carole Raymond Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian: More Than 650 Meatless Recipes from Around the World is one of my favorites.

I dont think its wrong to catch fish because other animals hunt animals. Asked by Marc C - Tue Mar 17 12:20:29 2009 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. What can replace 'vitamins'? flax Why is it wrong? Because we overfish the oceans to the point that dozens of species are now bordering on extinct. Fish species along with sea birds and sea life. Yellow Fin & Big Eyed Tuna will be extinct in 3-5 years beacuse of overfishing. Because we value the death of the fish over the life of other sea animals. Millions of seabirds are killed in fishing gear each year. Thousands of turtles, dolphins, sea lions, manatees, seals, otters, and whales are also killed by fishing gear. By eating fish, you say all this waste of life is ok. In Oregon, they've started shooting sea lions who eat Salmon in the Columbia. Why? Because they are taking fish away from fishermen. They want to kill the sea… [cont.] Answered by Moxie - Tue Mar 17 14:25:31 2009 Does every Benihana restaurant have a vegetarian meal option?
Q. I am attending a family dinner at a Benihana restaurant after Christmas. As a vegetarian, I am looking through their menu to see what sort of vegetarian options they have. Google results say that they have some sort of "secret" entree that is veggie-friendly, but I obviously don't see it on their online menu. Apparently, it is called "Vegetarian Saishoku" but if anyone can clarify that this is true? Just wondering if I should eat beforehand! Asked by Bryan B - Sun Dec 16 19:37:24 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I got stuck going to Benihana for lunch a couple of weeks ago. They do have a veggie entree and (at least this was the case with our cook) they do the veggies first before they start with the meat, so the grill is clean. They start cooking them in oil, but then they slap in a big wad of butter towards the end of the cooking. If you're vegan, be prepared to ask them not to. I don't remember what it was called, but you couldn't miss it on the menu. They will also serve you white rice. It's not the most creative or satisfying meal I ever had, but it was a fairly nice selection of veggies, so it could have been a lot worse. The problem with Benihana is that, because they cook at the table, you have to watch them cooking the meat and you… [cont.] Answered by mockingbird - Sun Dec 16 23:19:33 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "vegetarian" Vegetarianism is a practice that consists of a diet that excludes meat (including game and slaughter by-products), fish (including shellfish and other sea animals) and poultry.
