Re: Vegetarians?
I think your choice depends largely on your reasons for doing this.
I have personally been a "Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarian" for a long time, for ethical reasons. I do, however, buy free-range organice milk & eggs. Also, I think that being a Semi-Vegetarian is actually OK from an ethical standpoint, as long as you are just occasionally eating really good, free-range meat. My basic premise is that factory farming and a lot of modern farming methods sucks. Changing farming methods is a realistic short term goal which is achiavable by consumer choice. The increased availability of organic & free-range produce over the last 10 years is testament to this fact.
If you are doing this on health grounds, then either Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarian or semi-vegeterian is the easiest choice. It just depends how much you like meat.
