What is Vegetarianism?Often synonymous with herbivore or plant-eater. A person who does not eat parts of dead animals. Vegetarians correctly do not make a distinction between "red meat" and "not red meat", and as such do not consume any kind of seafood or poultry. Some people who seek to put forward a stoic, ascetic or progressive image may claim to be vegetarian while still eating fish or birds. These poseurs often give themselves the oxymoronic label of "pecso-vegetarians". The reasons for abstaining from animal flesh are typically, ethical, religious, ecological, health-related or economic. Vegetarians who also shun animal products such as milk, eggs and honey are called vegans (VEE- GEHNS). Ethical/environmental vegetarians and vegans also often avoid animal-derived goods such as leather, tallow in soaps, etc. When Bill found out that a meat-based diet uses more resources and causes more pollution than a plant-based diet, he went vegetarian.

Some choose so for ethical reasons while others may simply be grossed out by the prospect of eating flesh. Despite claims to the contrary, most vegetarians are not elitist or prejudiced. Another false argument also includes that eating only plant matter kills more rodents, etc which it doesn't. In order to eat beef for instance, it takes far more energy and resources to grow food for them (as opposed to eating it directly) and then killing the cows on top of it. There've been many proposals for third world countries to focus on farming as opposed to ranching because, if done properly, it takes far less resources and land space.
