Meg's Veggie Page A vegetarian is a person who doesn't eat meat. This includes poultry, red meat, fish and other sea food.
Vegetarians still eat dairy products such as eggs, cheese, milk, yogurt and ice cream.
Because of this they are often called lacto-ovo vegetarians. I became a vegetarian when I was just 4 years old. Before that, I had never had much taste for meat. I would rarely eat any of it, once and a while I'd eat tuna or chicken, that was about it. But I remember very clearly one day biting into a piece of chicken and it occurred to me that this was the same animal that walked around on the ground somewhere.
