Types of vegetarians (diet standpoint)

IS NON-VEGETARIAN FOOD PERMITTED OR PROHIBITED FOR A HUMAN BEING?
Between Dr. Zakir Naik and Mr. Rashmibhai Zaveri
(Patkar Hall, Mumbai, India, 9th May, 1999)


There are various types of 'Vegetarians'. We have 'Fructorians', who only eat fruits and nuts - then we have the 'Vedanta', who do not have any animal products - we have 'Lacto Vegetarian', what I believe Mr. Rashmibhai Zaveri is... they have milk, we have the 'Ovo Vegetarians' who have eggs - We have the 'Lacto-Ovo Vegetarians', who have egg and milk also - We have the 'Pesco Vegetarians' who eat fish. We have 'Semi Vegetarians' who also have Chicken. This classification is done by the Vegetarian Society... not by me - And you can name another 20, time does not permit me.

Dude You are full of it! The grains and corn an average cow consumes before it goes to the slaughtered can feed people 20 times more than the meat it provides. Meat greatly contributes to cancers and cattle waste produce harmful emmisions to the atmosphere. This guy is attempting to brainwash people.

[Crosisborg]

"pesco-vegetarian" is a made up designation from kids who want to be hip and call themselves vegetarian but refuse to stop eating meat. If you eat fish, you are not any type of vegetarian.

[upurs323]

@Crosisborg pesco-vegetarian is the best, u take the red and white meat out, u get more than enough and healthier source of protein from eggs (best quality protein), and fish, these things digest better than red and white meat too... dont talk that hip-kid bullshit man come on

[ninjadude1021]

i am a pollo-pescetarian... i am a vegetarian with the exception of poultry and fish... reasons being... they're high in protein; im a martial arts instructor... i am a practitioner of multiple martial arts; this diet keeps me healthy,active and happy; this diet keeps me fit, and i never really liked beef, pork or the other kinds of meat...except rabbit on christmas day(the only day of the year when i break from the pollo-pescetarian diet to eat rabbit)...(I'm italian, we eat that christmas day)

@Crosisborg

While I do agree with you, if people exclude everything from their diet except fish, that is still a hell of good step in the right direction.

[MrSharmavin]

you dont only look idiot you are the most foolish person ....

@turkistanim1

Hello! the computer you're chattering from is an "invention" You fail to realize that humans are more than just flesh and bones. We have mind and soul. When you feed yourself a murdered piece of meat, you consume all the hate and suffering that the animal died with. Ever went to a butcher shop to see how they kill the Animals? Ever wonder why there is so much pain and blood spill in our world? "Karma" my friend!

[lizzierose92]

another thing on this vid.... i did not understand a freaking word you said! :)

[lizzierose92]

@Cup0Water .... i dont get it?... how does it increase??... wouldnt stay the same.

[checkle1]

@2PacalYpseNow18 fish is not a meat? thats good because i thought it probably hurt when i snagged that one in the asshole or that other in the eyeball, popping its eye out...im glad its not a meat...i couldnt imagine being buried alive in ice with hundreds others...luckily they cant either because their body is not considered to have "meat" in it by some human people's standards

[lafffinghyena]

i know ahahaha i mean i really have to laugh i have traveld around the world and in many places they think that fish is not a meat ahahahahah so i dont call it meat anymore when i order something from the restruant i called it blood no blood please nothing that once had blood in it thank you very much and they bring me fruit haahaa im a fruitiarian n natural from the earth in its original state raw vegan type of eater take care peace

[Cup0Water]
