Someone who abstains from eating meat, but not dairy products (eggs can be argued for one way or the other), in protest that the meat market is so poorly regulated and primitive. We have experimental technology that allows for growing organs with stim cell research, why shouldn't we be able to grow a slab of muscle that never has to have eyes or lips?
Not to be confused with Veganism, wherein no animal products whatsoever are eaten.

Someone who is conscious of the way that animals are treated in industrial farming. Someone who realises its perfectly natural to eat meat, but chooses not to because of the torture, humiliation, pain, misery, suffering and disrespect of animals. All brought about by the greed of certain money obsessed corporations and the ignorance of the (somewhat uneducated) mass public.
"i am vegetarian because i do not want to be responsible for the atrocities of intensive farming..."

A person who chooses (for ethical, religious, health, or personal reasons) to abstain from eating the flesh of animals.
Vegetarians tend to be thinner, healthier, and have less body fat than meat-eaters. This is because many vegetarians realize the health benefits to eating a purely meat-free diet and adopt other healthy habits (no smoking, no excess alcohol, regular exercise, etc).
Contrary to popular belief, vegetarians are not preachy. You do not need to 'feel bad' about eating meat around them. They have usually made the choice for themselves and live a peaceful lifestyle that doesn't involve forcing their beliefs down other peoples throats.

Would you like a hot dog?
No thank you, I'm a vegetarian.
Oh okay, we have some veggie burgers if you would like one.
Yes, thank you very much!

Watching animals being slaughtered while working in an abattoir, I decide (sic) not to make anyone else suffer. You meat eaters wil get spongy brains, you dickheads.
