Classification Of Vegetarians
According to the research, there are a number of different types of vegetarians. The first four listed are considered to be "true" vegetarians because by definition the term vegetarian diet is composed mainly of plant foods and may or may not include eggs and dairy products. Any person who chooses to omit animal products uses a vegetarian diet. Vegetarian diets are often classified by the extent to which animal products are excluded ("Vegetarian Diet" 39). The table below provides information on the classification of vegetarians and what each type consumes.
In Havala’s book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Being Vegetarian, she states, "Many people today are using the term ‘vegetarian’ loosely to mean that they are consciously reducing their intake of animal products." The actual number of people who never eat meat, fish, or poultry is about 1% of the adult population (4). According to The Vegetarian Resource Group, they stated 2.5% of the population was considered to be vegetarian (1). This is because the term vegetarian actually means consuming no meat, poultry, or fish. Not "I eat turkey only on Thanksgiving," or "I eat fish once in a while." A vegetarian consistently avoids all flesh foods as well as by-products of meat, fish, and poultry (Havala 4).
Basic foods in a vegetarian’s diet are cereal grains and bread, beans, nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. Some vegetarians may use various products made from soybeans, such as tofu, or bean curd, soybean milk, and miso. Some vegetarians use foods that resemble meat, poultry, or fish in texture, color, and flavor, but that are manufactured from soybeans or other plants ("Vegetarianism" 59).

There are some people who call themselves a vegetarian, but no one is born to be a vegetarian. They become a vegetarian afterwards with a notion of it. Wild carnivores such as lions and cheetahs hunt and eat other animals only when they are hungry or have to feed the meat to their children. In other words, they know exactly what to eat by instinct. On the other hand, human can eat not only meat but also non-meat. According to Katharine Milton, an anthropologist at the Univ...
A person that avoids any animal products, as in any meats or animal-derived foods is considered a vegetarian. This is the general classification of a vegetarian. It is a challenge to classify a vegetarian; many variations were created to suit certain diets. Lactovegetarians are vegetarians that consume milk and dairy products. Ovo-vegetarians eat eggs but no dairy products, and some do consume honey. Lacto-ovo-vegetarians exclude meats and seafood’s but consume dairy products and eggs. The lacto-ovo-vegetarian eating pattern also consists of legumes, seeds and nuts. Vegans are the only pure vegetarians; they exclude all animal derived foods. There are also people that classify themselves as near vegetarians, for example macrobiotic diets. The macrobiotic diet consists mostly grains, legumes and vegetables and limited amounts of fish. There is also an instance where people will adopt being a vegetarian occasionally; this is called being a flexitarian.

Let 's take a look at one common protein source for vegetarians. Beans and lentils are another common source of plant based protein, but they are more of a carbohydrate than a protein source, so they are included in the carbohydrate section.
Society has recently become increasingly obsessed with health and nutrition, as more and more individuals realize that they can dramatically change their quality of life by adjusting their diet and lifestyle. One way that people have tried to pursue a healthier lifestyle, is by removing meat and other animal products from their diets, whether they become a strict vegetarian who eats no animal byproducts, or a lacto-ovo vegetarian who still eats eggs and dairy. As with any other lifestyle, research is always being done to see if the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and so far, the results of vegetarian diets have been encouraging. Vegetarian diets have proven to decrease the risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, and many other health problems. With a little planning and dedication, a vegetarian diet will be healthier and more beneficial than a traditional diet
The number of people becoming vegetarians these days is growing. There are a few different types of vegetarians, for example; the lacto-ovo vegetarian doesn’t eat any animal products except milk and eggs. Another type of vegetarian is the vegan, they exclude all animal products.
Vegetarianism is a lifestyle where you cut out all meat and fish from your diet, but still consume milk (lacto), eggs (ovo), or both (lacto-ovo). It’s commonly confused with pescatarianism, where you still eat fish, but no red meat or poultry. Like pescatarians, pollotariansVeganism, is where you don’t consume any animal products (meat, poultry, fish, and dairy.) Flexitarians eat a mostly plant-based diet, but occasionally eat meat or fish. (Craig).
Vegetarianism is the theory or practice of living solely on vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts. It is practiced for moral, ascetic or nutritional reasons
The history of apple is not shy of turbulence with large periods of its early stages met with instability and downturn. Apple Inc. was founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and was established on April 1, 1976 and incorporated the company on January 3rd 1977. The first two decades of its inception Apple was predominately in the business of manufacturing personal computers however as alluded to it faced rocky sales and low market shares during the 90’s. Steve Jobs, one of the original founders of the enterprise who had been dismissed in the mid 80’s following differences in vision for the companies future, returned to Apple in 1986 after Apple had acquired his then company NeXT (Apple Inc., 1...
Cigarettes should be made illegal, as they damage the human body and have adverse effects on one’s quality of life. When it comes to cigarette smoking there are many different views on how it can affect a person. Cigarettes may not seem big, but for every single cigarette a person smokes eleven minutes is taken from their lives (Shaw 53). Another fact about cigarettes are that they are the number one killers of people. Although, not all smokers die from cancer or other illnesses inflicted by smoking for years. Concededly there are many people who die from secondhand smoke, in their households caused by another. Cigarettes are considered one of the most lethal habits plaguing the human population today. As of 2014, the CDC reports 480,000 people died in America due to cigarette smoke. Whereas an astonishing 41,000 of those deaths were from secondhand smoke exposure (Center of Disease Control).

Cellphones, are one of the best and most beneficial assets to ever have at your high school! There is always two sides to any situation or opinionated question. One side of this opinionated question would be that cellphones are too distracting and would never be used in the way schools would prefer them to use it. The other side of the opinionated question would be that we live in a technology based world now and if high school students use technology with the cellphone properly during school then the cellphone can be very beneficial and very useful for them. Cellphones in school are more beneficial than you think they are bad. People usually think at first that cellphones in school may be a bad idea but cellphones in school would make school more beneficial and enhance learning for their students.
Ever since incidents such as 9/11 and Columbine, high schools have started implementing new rules regarding cellphones. Cellphones regard the attention of building managers, teachers, parents, and students. Although teachers see them as a distraction and a way to cheat, they can be quite helpful to students. School districts should permit students to use cellular devices in school for purposes of improving their education and providing themselves a sense of security.
Cell phones are small and portable yet provide so much to its user with being able to look up anything to calling your parents in case of an emergency or if you need to give them a heads up on something. With the way things are today people need to focus on incorporating cell phones into daily life and finding ways to make them more suitable in a classroom environment. Teachers are already doing this though with using apps that work with the whole class and can track data and usage of a student. It cannot be debated that cell phones are beneficial in school as before cell phones you would have to go to your local library and hopefully find what you are looking for. Cell phones belong in a school environment as they can be helpful and it 's a parent 's right to be able to get ahold of their
