Mel-vegetarian

NOUN/ADJECTIVE: A vegetarian who abstains from consuming meat, dairy, and eggs, but still consumes honey. Thus, a vegan who still consumes honey is in fact a "mel-vegetarian".

NOUN: The practice of abstaining from the consumption of all meat and animal products, with the exception of honey.

There are 4 types of vegetarians: lacto-ovo (dairy and eggs), lacto (dairy), ovo (eggs), and mel (honey). The other types of vegetarianism don't necessarily need to incorporate "mel-" into their name, as "mel" is used for only particular circumstances where it is necessary to distinguish.

Vegetarian

"Vegetarian," in a lesser-known sense of the word, refers to an ethnicity. Like other more commonly acknowledged minority groups, vegetarians are united by certain elements in their physical makeup (in this case, a general insufficiency of nutrients, such as iron and protein), and a shared heritage (vegetarians commonly view non-meat-eaters as their forefathers). Vegetarian, like, for example, "hispanic," refers to a large group of people who share a similar outlook on the world; this concept of possessing a common perspective is characteristic of ethnic groups. While members of other ethnic groups may share commonalities such as skin color and language, vegetarians share more internal commonalities, like the absence of certain foods being digested within their bodies.
