Vegetarians?
I have been studying Buddhism for quite some time now, I have since begun meditating at 5AM for 1 hour everyday, given up smoking, and quit drinking. My next step is set for New Year's to become a Vegetarian(not required just personal conviction).
Which version has me stumped? Being Diabetic, my only concern is I do not want tons of pasta and rice to supliment my diet and cause my sugar to spike. I take a multi vitamin packet everyday and I also take magnisium and ginseng as well. A strict vegetarian, a vegan, avoids all foods of animal origin, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, and eggs. Lacto-vegetarians include dairy products in their diet. Lacto-ovo-vegetarians also eat dairy products and eggs. Pesco-vegetarians eat fish, dairy products, and eggs along with plant foods. Finally, there are semi-vegetarians, who cheat a little and eat a little poultry along with fish, as well as dairy products and eggs. Big Steve [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Vegetarians?
[ QUOTE ]
And since when are there different levels of being a vegetarian? [/ QUOTE ] Well, it's like being a Christian. You might be the kind of Christian who goes to church on Christmas & Easter...or maybe you go to Sunday mass regularly...or maybe you do all that and also help out with the charity dinners...and so on and so forth. Most people would call anyone in that range a Christian, so the definition allows for different levels of commitment. It's the same thing with vegetarianism. A lacto-ovo-pisco vegetarian is like the Christmas&Easter guy, whereas a vegan who won't wear wool or use a shampoo which contains animal-derived ingredients (many mainstream brands do, even those which don't test on animals) is like a missionary. Also like Christians, vegetarians with different levels of commitment sometimes have trouble getting along & seeing that their common beliefs outweigh their differences.

Re: Vegetarians?
Having been a vegetarian for over 17 years, your reasons for becoming one will not sustain you; you will fail, so don't bother.
