because if they eat a pig they would be eating there own kind (fattys)
They are vegan. Vegan means that you do not eat dairy products. Some vegetarians don't eat dairy products and therefore vegan.
Dairy products can contain a sugar called 'lactose' to which some people are intolerant.
Some vegetarians eat no dairy products, but they eat eggs. They're often called ovo-vegetarians. Vegetarians who eat no animal products at all are called vegans.
Most cakes are vegetarian, however, I have seen cake batters which contain beef fat, so check the ingredients!! Some vegetarians do not eat eggs or dairy products, which many cakes have. There are also concerns about white sugar, which is processed with charred animal bones, so it may not be vegetarian.
It depends on the specific type of vegetarian. The most common are pescatarian (fish), lacto- or ovo-vegetarian, vegetarian, and vegan. Some allow fish, eggs, and / or dairy. Vegetarian limits all meat and eggs. Vegan does not allow animal products of any kind (including honey, dairy, silk, leather, etc.).
I'm not sure if there is a specific title for people who eat seafood and poultry, but I know that there are at least two types of vegetarian classifications. Vegans eat only vegetables, no meats of any kind, including meat by products like gelatin. Ovo lacto includes all vegetables, eggs, cheese and other dairy products, and sometimes seafood and poultry. The latter is the better answer.
Well, it depends. Vegetarianism consists of not eating animals, and may including fish and other seafood, but there are varying degrees of vegetarianism, and some vegetarians will consume dairy products and eggs, some will consume dairy products but not eggs, and some will consume neither. Being vegan is not eating animals or animal products. All vegans are vegetarians, but not all vegetarians are not vegan.
A vegetarian diet would consist of non meat foods. Some vegetarians consume dairy products while others do not. There are numerous websites one can look at to obtain suitable recipes.
There are different levels of vegetarian. Some invove only giving up red meat, or fish, or dairy, or only a few meat products. Others are much more intense and restrictive, like being vegan, which means no animal or meat or dairy products at all. A list of the different forms of vegetarianism can be found at the website below.
People have different views of what it means to be a "good vegetarian." It might depend on your reason for practicing vegetarianism. If you are vegetarian because you are against killing animals for your food, eggs and dairy products do not cause the death of the animals, so there is no problem. If you are opposed to using any animal products whatsoever, for some other reason, then of course you would have to avoid eggs and milk products and many other things. If you are following some spiritual program or health program that espouses vegetarianism, you would do best to consult your advisor or coach on what practices are required and why.
Which foods a vegetarian avoids depends on the type of vegetarian diet. As a rule, vegetarians avoid meat and meat products. However, some will eat fish. Ovo-lacto vegetarians will eat dairy and eggs. Those following a vegan diet will avoid all animal products completely.
There are soy versions of most dairy products; make sure you get enough protein. Eat whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds. You don't need dairy products; Japan and China have the longest life expectancies in the world and traditionally do not eat dairy products.
Lacto vegetarians eat dairy products. I have seen some lacto vegetarians binge on ice cream! (not recommended)
