Vegitarian

The word vegetarian spelt wrongly.
Someone who does not eat meat (dead animals) -which includes chicken and fish (plus all other seafood).

Some people lie and claim to be vegetarians when they eat fish, but they are pescitarians.

Not to be confused with vegan which is somebody that doesn't eat any animal products at all (meat or dairy).

Vegetarianism is a personal choice. Most vegetarians, and vegans, respect everyone else's life choices. The ones who do not respect other people or are violent/aggressive towards people are not showing the true meaning of vegetarianism - it is a compassionate way of life.

"Would you like a hamburger?"
"No thanks, I'm vegitarian." (spelt vegetarian but had to spell it like that so Urban Dictionary would accept it.)

"Why are you vegetarian?"
"Because of the health benefits and because I do not want others to suffer just for my food."

"You must secretly eat meat, you vegetarian, or you'd be dead."
"If you ate nothing but meat, you'd die."

vegetarian

One who lives in the land of Vegetaria. Often confused as the definition of a person who doesn't eat meat, but that's only because most Vegetarians don't eat meat, either.

Person 1: Hey, do you want some steak?
Person 2: No, thank you. I don't eat meat.
Person 1: Is it because you're a Vegetarian?
Person 2: Hey! Don't be so stereotypical!

Werewolf Vegetarian

A vegetarian who only eats meat on the full moon.

This type of vegetarianism is suited for those who like the health and/or animal rights aspects of a non-meat diet but who are unwilling to fully give up their taste for flesh.

"Rob I thought you were a vegetarian, why are you eating that steak???"

"I'm a Werewolf Vegetarian, it's a full moon tonight."

vegetarian

Often synonymous with herbivore or plant-eater. A person who does not eat parts of dead animals. Vegetarians correctly do not make a distinction between "red meat" and "not red meat", and as such do not consume any kind of seafood or poultry. Some people who seek to put forward a stoic, ascetic or progressive image may claim to be vegetarian while still eating fish or birds. These poseurs often give themselves the oxymoronic label of "pecso-vegetarians". The reasons for abstaining from animal flesh are typically, ethical, religious, ecological, health-related or economic. Vegetarians who also shun animal products such as milk, eggs and honey are called vegans (VEE- GEHNS). Ethical/environmental vegetarians and vegans also often avoid animal-derived goods such as leather, tallow in soaps, etc.

When Bill found out that a meat-based diet uses more resources and causes more pollution than a plant-based diet, he went vegetarian.

Vegetarian

2) One who does not eat meat. This includes fish and poultry (chicken and fish are not plants!)

not to be confused with vegan

Vegetarian

A vegetarian person is someone who eats no meat, i.e. food during production of which an animal is killed. People that appear to be vegetarian but eat poultry and/or fish are called semi-vegetarians. Lacto-vegetarians avoid, aside of meat, eggs as well, ovo-vegetarians milk, and vegans both and sometimes even honey.

There are various arguments&reasons for vegetarianism:
1) Health; some people believe meat isn't healthy. Some of the arguments using this idea are right, such us very low percent of obese vegtarians and averagely low pressure vegetarians often have; many are fake, for example impotence etc. A health problem with vegetarianism is that an average person gets most of their protein (which we build our cells from) from meat, but it is also to be found elsewhere.
2) Religion; Some Hinduist or Jainist doctrines see eating meat a wrong thing, and so do some of its followers.
3) Dislike the taste.
4) Environmental; it requires more means to grow food, then feed animals with it and then kill them than to eat the grown food itself. Also, the farm animals produce some of the greenhouse gases.
5) Moral; some people see eating meat immoral, because through the act you claim that you agree with killing (or even torturing or somehow ruining its life in case of loads of factory farms) an animal. Moral arguments include "you wouldn't kill/eat your dog", "there is no difference between killing an animal for food and doing so for fun, which is wrong" etc.

A: I became a vegetarian yesterday. I found some videos on the internet and were disgused by what is happening in factory farms. I like animals and don't agree with harming them.
B: Does that mean you don't eat any meat?
A: Yes.
