Torturing Myself?

Many of my friends were shocked but some of them were easy with my vegetarian diet.

Some (whom I think are lack of knowledge) said, "Why are you torturing yourself?"

There are in fact many different types of vegetarians.

What is a Vegetarian Diet?

A vegetarian diet is a diet that does not include meat. This includes all animal meat, poultry, and fish. People who follow a vegetarian diet are called vegetarians. Many vegetarians also do not eat other animal products such as gelatin, rennet (used in making cheese), and animal fats (often used in cooking).

Vegetarians who include eggs and dairy products in their diets are called ovo-lacto vegetarians. People who do not eat any animal products (including honey) are called vegans.

Semi- or partial-vegetarians sometimes eat meat (usually poultry or fish).
