    Actually I'm sure there are many many more. There are fruititarians that only eat fresh and frozen fruits or fruits shoved into a blender.

    I have also known some vegans who will not eat foods that have been heated. Vegetables (even steamed) are denatured in their opinion. Ever eat a raw spud? No thank you!

    I've also known some vegans who will only eat vegetables wherein their harvesting allows a piece of them to be left behind so that it can regenerate (i.e. carrots. radishes, spuds).

    I've been a vegan, type 4, for allmost 2 years now. It did take me about 3 years of letting dairy & eggs go from my then vegaterian, type 3 diet.

    I'm lacto-ovo, type three.


    "Fruit has 'the power and magic of life'... from fruit alone the human body has evolved to produce evrything else it needs to stay energetically alive for more than 100 yrs..."

    I can't help but be pretty skeptical of fruitarianism myself. I have to watch my iron intake as it is, you must miss out on heaps of vitamins and minerals eating only raw fruit.

    I gravitate between being a type 1 and a type 2... I have my phases...

    But regardless of which "phase" I am in, I rarely eat dairy, and usually avoid eggs.

    i guess i'm a type three although i don't drink milk or eat any dairy or eggs directly...i still eat things with milk and eggs in them...like cookies and other baked goods.


    and yeah...there are probably other types of veggies not listed...the type classification was a little general i guess.

    i am

    Type 2) Lacto vegetarian - Individuals in this group are a step up from the semi vegetarians. They avoid all animal products except for dairy products in their diet.

    i would like to be a vegan but i am a bit lazy.....

    Type 1 i would think. I must have fish in my diet because of a low iron deficiency. I don't drink milk because of gastric problems but i can't stray from eggs and cheeses (osteopena)

    ....Because everyone's body and dietary needs are different.
