A vegetarian is someone who avoids eating the flesh of animals (meat, poultry, or fish, including shellfish). Most vegetarians will also not eat eggs or cheese or use cosmetics or toiletries made that contain animal ingredients or are tested on animals. The word "vegetarian", coined around 1842, comes not from "vegetable" but from the Latin word vegetus meaning "whole, fresh, full of life".
People are vegetarians for a number of reasons. Some think that it is wrong to keep and kill animals for use as food and in other products. Others choose to be vegetarians because they believe that the vegetarian diet is healthier than a diet that includes meat. In¬deed, a vegetarian diet fits in very well with modern medical advice to cut down on fats, salt, and sugar, and to eat more fibre and fresh vegetables. It is also cheaper than meat. Some people are vegetar¬ians because of their religious beliefs. Some people have chosen to be vegetarians for ecological reasons. They say that it is easier to provide food for all the people on the Earth by growing vegetables for food rather than raising vegetable-eating animals.
