| | Vegetarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Vegetarianism is the practice of not eating meat, including beef, poultry, fish, or their by-products, with or without the use of dairy products or eggs. | | | There are usually many vegetarian (Shakahari (~plant-eater) in Hindi) options available in all restaurants ('hidden' meat ingredients such as lard, gelatin, meat stock are not used in the traditional cuisine). | | | Vegetarians get all the protein and amino acids they need from eating a normal variety of whole grains (whole wheat bread, oatmeal, brown rice), beans, nuts, and soy (tofu, veggie burgers/hotdogs, edamame, etc). |

| | Younger vegetarians are usually part of a family that eats vegetarian meals for health or other reasons. | | | If your vegetarian preteen or teen would rather make his or her own school lunch or opts to buy lunch, keep in mind that your child's idea of a healthy vegetarian meal may be much different than yours (i.e., french fries and a soda). | | | A vegetarian diet can be a healthy choice for all children, as long as it's properly planned and adequate nutrients are eaten. |

| | Vegetarianism |
| | The word 'vegetarian' was first used in 1842 to describe one who abstains from the use of flesh, fish and fowl as food with or without the addition of eggs and dairy products. | | | In general, a vegetarian diet is low in saturated fats and cholesterol while meat contains large amounts of unhealthy fats and cholesterol. | | | Thus Jainism propagates a vegetarian diet based on grains, milk, fruits and vegetables. |

| | Vegetarianism and the Bible (No. 183) |
| | Buddhism tends to vegetarianism and in some more extreme levels to veganism, which is an absolutist form of vegetarianism, which abstains from even the produce of animals such as milk, cheese and eggs. | | | Buddhism, of course, was not vegetarian in ancient times and there were merely a series of food prohibitions given as to the types of meat that should not be eaten; elephants, tigers and big cats, snakes and humans being primary categories. | | | For our purposes it is easy to see the general thrust of the church, which denies vegetarianism, celibacy and abstention from wine as Christian. |

| | Therefore, I am not suggesting that we are meant to be vegetarians by some law or dictate of nature; we are, it seems to me, omnivores if we are anything (keep in mind that there are people who have eaten bicycles and other strange things). | | | The difficulty for the vegetarian is not avoiding the products, it is learning how to read extremely small print and understanding that technical names often betray their real origins (e.g., Vitamin D3 is usually derived from fish liver oil). | | | Regardless of the the overwhelming health and economic reasons in favor of vegetarianism, the single most important reason to abstain from eating meat is moral. |
