Your mother isn't lying, but she's misinformed. There are several forms of vegetarianism, but if it requires killing an animal, it can't hardly be considered vegetarianism. Maybe if the meat companies started just taking parts off of animals, but left them alive, fewer people would become vegetarian, but I ask you, what kind of a life can a cow with a wooden leg lead?
Go easy on your mom - she only means well. Tell her you don't want to let your body be a graveyard for your friends. |

Yes of course you can, but then you're not a vegetarian anymore! However, do as you like. FYI, there's also animal bladder enzymes in cheese. It's labeled as enzymes or something. |

Yes, vegitarions can eat fish, and chicken, and steak, and even old ladies, but vegetarions on the other hand don't. Otherwise they'd be meat-a-tarions... |

Umm yeah it's a type of vegetarian. That is actually what I am, my book calls it a pollo-vegetarian. Its one of the less extreme types of vegetarianism. I have been one for allmost 3 years, and I think it is great. |

If God didn't mean for us to eat animals, He wouldn't have made them out of meat. |

Yes. Vegetarians don't eat meat, or the flesh of mammals. Since neither fish nor chickens are mammals, they're fair game. There are different levels of vegetarianism, however, and more strict vegetarians may not eat even fish or chicken. The most strict are vegans and they don't eat anything created from anything made by another animal, like eggs, cheese, milk, etc. |

There are various degrees of being vegitarian. It depends on what you feel personally. Sometimes people feel comfortable eating eggs, milk, cheese and other dairy products. Others feel ok eating fish and other seafood. To cut out any animal byproducts means that you are vegan, they have to be very careful about what they eat. There are some kinds of honey they can't eat because of the way the farmers treatment of the bees. Just make sure you are getting enough protein, vitamins and minerals you can only get from meat products. |

Some vegetarians do eat chicken, and fish along with diary products - usually going for organic meat products only. Vegans don't any type of meat, or dairy. |

A vegitarian doesn't eat any type of meat, or any product made from animals. Fish and chicken are animals, so according to vegiterians, no.
Being vegan is your choice. You can just not eat a certain thing, like chicken or cow. It's whatever you believe. |

Hahahaha.... your mum must be desperate to get you to eat!
I am vegeterian myself for health reasons.
Most people who are not vegeterians are not familiar with what it means to be vegeterians.
Some think that being a vegeterians means you abstain from MEAT.. and seafoods like FISH, PRAWNS, CRABS are NOT considered meat.
There are others who think that people turn vegeterian because of religion and think that the fact that you do not eat beef makes you a vegeterian.
In actual fact, there are a few kind of vegeterians..
1) Lacto-octo vegeterians: Are people who only eat vegetables and no meat, no seafood. But they drink milk...and they eat eggs.
2) Vegans: People who eat nothing but veg only...
And there are others who are only semi vegeterians.. as in, they eat fish, chickens.. etc. They are not really considered vegeterians.
Ultimately, it is about why you want to be vegeterian. If you are doing it for religious reasons, you would be better off checking with the religious authorities what you can or cannot eat.
If you are doing it for health, then it will depend on how strict you want to be. If you want good health, maybe you can just eat less meat and fish. If you want better health, become and lacto octo vegeterian.. if you want GREAT health, then become a vegan! :)
PS: All mothers in the world are like that. They will slowly learn to respect your choice when you show them that it is really healthy. I shared with my mum about some reasons why I turned vegeterian and she is now a vegeterian :)
But I still get alot of flake for making my 13-month-old vegeterian. My mom's friend would say it will give him mal nutrition, make him stupid, make his development slow..
BUT, he is only 13 months and as tall as a 2 year old. Development wise, he is right on time for most things and faster for some ;)

Yes they can...but then they would not be vegetarians would they? |

I guess you can't. Aren't vegeterians that way because they refuse to eat anything from an animal or of an animal. In both cases the animals were killed. |

no, you can't eat fish or chicken if you're a vegetarian. in simplest words, vegetarians don't eat anything that used to be living and had a face... |
