keltin said:But, isn’t a “true” vegetarian one that does not ingest (or use for that matter) any form of animal. No animal life what-so-ever. I believe they call it vegan? No leather, no animal milk, no eggs, no butter, etc?
Vegan and vegetarian are not the same thing. If you do a Google search for vegetarian, you will find lots of veg-oriented sites that distinguish between the two: vegetarian - Google Search
It's a good thing I'm a confirmed carnivore because I have a digestive condition where I need to keep to a high-protein, low-fat, low-fiber diet - I can't eat nuts, beans or seeds, so I eat lots of chicken and fish, especially shellfish. That said, I make occasional pasta and green salad dinners without meat but with cheese.
