    I have never really cared for meat- I just kind of ate it because it was put in front of me. Lately I have become repulsed by meat- maybe it's because I love animals.

    So I can't give up cheese/dairy or fish or shellfish but I don't want to eat anymore cow, beef or chicken.

    What term would describe me?

    Yup Crystal's right, you're a pesc!

    Distinctions in the veggie world:
    The most common tags to describe various vegetarian diets are:
    lacto-ovo (consumes milk and eggs), Lacto- (milk, no eggs), Ovo- (eggs, no milk), vegan (no animal or insect byproducts, usually including honey).
    Sub divisions include but are not limited to: fruitarian (only eats regenerative parts of a plant: seeds, fruit, some harvested leaves) raw vegan (food is never heated above 160 F)

    People pursuing the veggie diet who still eat fish, poultry or any other flesh are still omnivores.

    pescitarian or omnivore.

    your on you way to becoming a veggie! might take a year or so, but if you continue not eating beef or chicken, odds are, if ya got a good heart, that ya will drop fish too.... thats how it works for a lot of people. one step at a time.

    PM drumminmama, skip, or a super mod, and they can close it for you.
    it will still be visable, but no one else may post in it.
    if you dont want people to read your origional post, edit it, and erase your post.
