Omnivores and Vegetarians

[Mike]

These are 2 labels applied to us humans, according to our
preferred type of diet, there are also carnivores, vegans
and herbivores, this applies mainly to animals though as
I have never known of a humans grazing on grass etc.

I just learned off another applied to humans, a "Pescatarian",
someone who eats seafood.

We live and learn, I had never, until yesterday, heard this.

Here is a description of the meaning from healthline.com

By that definition, a pescatarian is someone who chooses
to eat a vegetarian diet, but who also eats fish and other
seafood.
It's a largely plant-based diet of whole grains, nuts, legumes,
produce and healthy fats, with seafood playing a key role as
a main protein source. Many pescatarians also eat dairy and eggs.

Many of you will probably already know this, just not me.

That's me most of the time.

 

[Fyrefox]

Then there’s the person with the seafood diet; if they see food, they eat it!

 

[Aunt Bea]

The specialized group that fascinates me are the raw vegans or fruitarians that claim to only eat fallen fruit.

I’m an omnivore that is losing interest in eating most mass processed animal products at current prices.

My husband was a pescatarian before he became a Vegetarian, and then ultimately a Vegan.. I talked about it on here some time ago...

There is now a type of diet that is labeled the Carnivore Diet, alternately know as the Meat Eaters diet. Similar to the Atkins Diet of old, it is a mostly animal protein diet made popular by Paul Saladino

Here’s some info

I'm pescatarian and have been for many years. I think it's really only vegetarians and vegans that are referred to on food labels etc, which is probably why many people may not have heard of pescatarians.

I thought Pescatarians were those people" who only used horse and buggies. Vegetarians are mean. Vegans are meaner. And I don't like the word, "Carnivore". For me, it brings to mind a T Rex chomping down on a day-old calf. I prefer "Foodie".

Why are vegetarians and vegans mean ?

 

[fuzzybuddy]

Why are vegetarians and vegans mean ?
Roughage.

 

[Della]

I thought it was constipation that made people mean. Roughage just makes people fast.

Oh, it doesn't refer to people over a certain age?
