What is Vegetarian?

Vegetarianism is a dietary practice that involves abstaining from the consumption of meat, poultry, fish, and sometimes, other animal products such as eggs and dairy. A vegetarian diet typically consists of plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.

There are various reasons why people choose to adopt a vegetarian diet, including health, ethical, environmental, and religious considerations. Some vegetarians may choose to consume dairy products and eggs, while others may follow a vegan diet, which excludes all animal products, including honey and gelatin.

Vegetarianism is a popular dietary choice around the world, with millions of people choosing to follow this lifestyle for various reasons. It is important for vegetarians to ensure that they consume a balanced diet that provides all the necessary nutrients, including protein, iron, calcium, and vitamin B12, which can be obtained from plant-based sources or supplements.
