There are six main types of vegetarians; they vary from the amount of fish eaten to the temperature that their food is prepared at. Specifically they are a pescatarian, flexitarian, lacto-ovo-vegetarian, vegan, raw vegan, and a macrobiotic. The word “pescatarian” is used to describe people who refrain from eating all meat and animal flesh with the exception of fish. This type of diet is the stepping stone to a full vegetarian diet. A flexitarian is the term newly used to describe a person who eats mostly vegetarian food and from time to time eats meat. A lacto-ovo-vegetarian is a person who does not eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish, and animal flesh of any kind, eggs, or dairy products.
