I'm a vegetarian, I choose to not eat meat out of respect for sentient life.
That's really great! I'll bet there are other benefits for being a vegetarian too, aren't there?
That's right, some people are vegetarians because it follows their religious beliefs. It gives them spiritual health.
As a vegetarian, can you consume other animal products, like eggs and dairy?
There's different variates, there's ovo-lacto that inclues dairy products in the foods they do eat among other types.
That's probably the type of vegetarian I would be, I love cheese too much! What's the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan?
Vegans practice abstaining from any use of animal products or byproducts
Oh, I see! How do vegetarians ensure that they are receiving adequate amounts of iron and protein?
I eat lots of protein rich vegetables usually so I get adequate protein and iron and calcium
That's good! Being a vegetarian sounds like a wonderful lifestyle!
