This session is on vegetarianism.  There are different reasons why somebody would want to be a vegetarian.
One of the first is that they believe it killing an animal as unethical.
So, because they don't want to
kill the animal they will not eat meat.
Religion reasons --  many different
religions say you can't have pork
or beef.  Jews are an example.  We have already talked about in class the symbol to know
if a food is kosher.  Usually 
that means it does not contain meat.
Economics  -- Meat is expensive. Although, so are fresh fruits and vegetables.
That might be an argument that somebody may not want to eat meat. And, then for health reason.
They believe that eating meat is not as healthy as eating fruits and vegetables.
Vegetarian eating styles include a semi vegetaria. That would be somebody who avoids red meat, so beef and
pork would be meats they would not eat. Sometimes you hear pook
advertised as the other white meat
because it isn't as red as beef;
but, it is considered a red meat.  A person who is a lacto-ovo avoids animal flesh, but will eat dairy and eggs.
This way they don't have to sacrifice
the animal; they just eat products from
the animal.  Although, some argue that you're killing the chick, so some people don't eat eggs because of that.
Lacto-ovo-peso would be the same as  avoiding animal flesh ; but eating dairy and eggs; but they also
include fish in thier diet because fish
would provide those mega fatty acids that we talked about.
A lacto avoids the animal flesh and eggs; but uses dairy. I referred to that earlier.
They wouldn't want to eat the egg because that would sacrifice the opportunity for a baby chicken to be hatched.
A Vegan avoids all animal foods. A
macrobiotic vegetarian is even more
restricted that just avoiding all animal
foods. And even more restricted than that
is a fruitarian. They will only eat fruit, nuts, honey, and olive oil which is
pretty limited.  We talked about getting
all these essential nutrients and a good
variety, that pretty limiting. I
clicked too fast but one who
eat everything is called an Omnivore.
Most of us fit that category.
With the sweet tooth I have, I really like this cartoon. "What's this? It looks gross.
It's a vegetarian meal.  It's good for you.  Vegetarian?? Yecchh! I'm not a vegetarian. I'm a dessertarian."
Here is the vegetarian diet pyramid, just like the regular food guide pyramid
that we have.  It basically shows
you that a vegetarian is going to have to
base their diet from fruits and vegetables, 
whole grains and legumes and beans.
This really is a takeoff from the original
food-guide pyramid, the one that was built on top of each other in a pyramid rather
than the slices like the most recent
pyramid was. Then in the middle is
your nuts and seeds, egg whites, soy, dairy, plant oils and then at the very top would be
and street you would have those bearing
and of course it's a great day stay show
daily physical activity usually a
vegetarian is more health conscious
st they would naturally want
include daily physical activity and then
on the side it shows alcohol in moderation.
This last slide is very similar to the
vegetarian diet pyramid, it is the
Mediterranean food guide pyramid and
again they have bread and pasta at the
bottom and fruit and vegetable; olive oil
because they know it is a healthy oil; cheese
and yogurt, fish, poultry, eggs, sweets, and at  the very very top red meat. And, again it
includes regular physical activity,
wine in moderation; of course that is optional.
I don't say drink wine in moderation; I say if you drink, do so in moderation.
