I think everyone is in agreement about what "vegetarian" means apart from you.
Vegetarians don't eat the flesh of animals, and it's always been like that. Eggs and milk are animal products, not the flesh of animals - so vegetarians can still eat them. Vegans don't eat animal products at all, which rules out eggs and milk. Pescatarians eat fish, but they aren't vegetarians.
So if N is the number of distinct foods you can eat, N(pescatarians) > N(vegetarians) > N(vegans).
Is there anything in particular about this that you find difficult to understand? I can model it as an ontology for you, perhaps?
- maxerickson 9y agoI like how you offer to construct an ontology in a thread where I admitted I'm being tiresome. I'm pretty okay going with the assumption I started with though, that if someone says they are vegetarian it doesn't mean anything. Maybe it means they eat chicken if that's all there is. Maybe not. Maybe they eat dairy. Maybe not.
- V-2 9y ago> Vegetarians don't eat the flesh of animals, and it's always been like that. It's not so simple. "60% Of Vegans Would Try Lab-Grown Meat, Says Survey" https://www.plantbasednews.org/post/survey-says-over-half-of-vegans-would-try-lab-grown-meat https://www.plantbasednews.org/post/survey-says-over-half-of... It seems that vegetarians (or even vegans) object to the way meat is produced. Not to the idea of eating flesh as such.
