Your friend Fire Starter isn't a vegetarian then, just unable to eat meat. Sorry everyone to be so petty but it irks me, when people say they are vegetarian but they still meat some meat, or fish etc.
Taken from the Vegetarian Society website:
"[size=4]The Vegetarian Society defines a vegetarian as: "Someone who lives on a diet of grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits with, or without, the use of dairy products and eggs. A vegetarian does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish* or by-products of slaughter." [/size]
[size=4]*Shellfish are typically ‘a sea animal covered with a shell’. We take shellfish to mean;[/size][list]
[*][size=4]Crustaceans (hard external shell) large – e.g. lobsters, crayfish, crabs, small – e.g. prawns, shrimps [/size]
[*][size=4]Molluscs (most are protected by a shell) e.g. mussels, oysters, winkles, limpets, clams, etc. Also includes cephalopods such as cuttlefish, squid, octopus.[/size]
[/list]
[b] [size=4]There are different types of vegetarian:[/size][/b]
[list]
[*][size=4]Lacto-ovo-vegetarians eat both dairy products and eggs; this is the most common type of vegetarian diet.[/size]
[*][size=4]Lacto-vegetarians eat dairy products but avoid eggs.[/size]
[*][size=4]Vegans do not eat dairy products, eggs, or any other products which are derived from animals."[/size]
[/list]
Using the above I'm a Lacto-ovo vegetarian.
