It is said that the dietary world has such an oddball, that is, the vegetarian, vegetarianism is not to eat meat only vegetarian, so many "carnivores" of the people will be very difficult to understand their ideas, there is meat is not a very good thing, why not? Let's come to vegetarian culture to understand this oddball!

A vegan, a person who eats only vegetarian dishes and not meat. Vegetarianism is a food culture, and people who practice it are called vegans.

Vegetarians do not consume the meat of all living and feeling animals, including domestic animals, wild beasts, birds of prey, fish, seafood, etc., but are generally allowed to consume eggs, milk, butter, cheese, and other dairy products.

There are many kinds of vegetarians, such as freestyle (it's okay to break the rules once in a while) and ascetic (strict adherence, and never eat eggs, milk, butter, cheese, etc.), and so on.

But in serious math, freestyle isn't really vegan, it's just someone who's trying to lose weight and get fit to create a good name for themselves.

And there are several reasons to become a vegetarian:

1, the requirements of religious beliefs or vegetarianism to express loyalty to the faith of the sect, asceticism is mostly in this category;

2, purely for the sake of bodybuilding, weight loss, exercise, and so on, and most of this category is freestyle.

3. Because of the compassionate nature of the heart, it is not tolerated that animals are killed because of their own desire to eat.

In addition to vegetarianism, there is also a pure vegetarianism (vegan), those vegans not only do not eat the meat of any sentient beings, and even eggs, dairy products, and even honey are excluded, that is to say, only rely on plant foods to sustain life, where the origin of the animal's food are not stained. In addition to food, vegans also do not use goods made from animals, such as leather clothing, shoes, belts, bags and other leather products and cosmetics containing animal parts.

An ovo-lacto (egg) vegan is a vegan who consumes foods that are partly of animal origin, such as eggs and milk. Some vegans refuse to eat cheese and cakes, which are factory-produced foods with animal ingredients, because of ethical considerations.

Lacto vegetarians are those who do not eat meat, but consume milk and its related products, like cheese, cream or yogurt.

Ovo-vegetarians, similar to lacto-vegetarians, consume eggs and related products.

The foods of the Longevity Healthy Diet are mainly cereals and legumes, including Fructarianism (Fructariansim).

Rawfoodism, a method of eating in which all food is kept in its natural state, even when heated to no more than 47 degrees Celsius. Rawfoodists believe that cooking destroys enzymes or nutrients in food. Some raw foodists, called revitalized raw foodists, soak foods in water to revitalize their enzymes before consuming seed-based foods. Some raw foodists eat only organic foods.

Fruitarianism consumes only fruits and juices or other plant fruits.

Some carnivores may not consume certain meats based on health, morality, or beliefs, such as red meat from mammals like cows, sheep, and pigs is the most common type, and these people will consume some poultry and seafood. This is not traditional vegetarianism, but semi-vegetarianism.

Liberal vegetarianism, this type of person is primarily vegetarian with occasional meat consumption.

Ascetic vegetarianism, this type of people in order to firmly believe in the heart, in an ascetic way to vegetarianism, not only abstain from eggs, milk, and even abstain from soy, salt. The representative figure: Gandhi.

Conclusion In fact, I didn't understand why I wanted to be a vegetarian in the first place. At the dinner table, no meat how to enjoy it? It turns out that they have such compassion, really can not look at a thing that they can not accept in a different way.
