Best Answer

The most basic form of vegetarianism is a lacto-ovo vegetarian. To be ANY form of a vegetarian, you must not eat or use anything that directly causes the death of an animal. No red meat, fish, chicken, Gelatin, seafood, fur, leather, or any other form of flesh, skin, or any other animal body part that cannot be extracted without causing death. So eggs, dairy products, wool, etc, are acceptable in following a vegetarian lifestyle. You are not a vegetarian if you do not follow these rules. Many flexitarians (those who are only vegetarian when they feel like it) claim to be vegetarian. No.

More complex versions of vegetarianism:

A vegetarian who does not eat eggs is called a lacto vegetarian.

Ovo vegetarians do not consume dairy products, but eat eggs.

Vegans are vegetarians, but vegetarians are not vegan. Vegans do not use any animal products at all. No honey, wool, silk, milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt, etc. Vegans do not buy products tested on animals as well.
