Vegetarian, vegan and raw food definitions are provided for some clarity and some flexibility with enhancing your lifestyle from where you may be now to an even more healthy lifestyle, towards optimal health. 

 

Vegetarian

 n.  veg·e·tar·i·an (vĕj'ĭ-târ'ē-en) pronunciation
1. One who practices vegetarianism.
  • 2. A herbivore.

    • adj. 1. Of or relating to vegetarianism or vegetarians.

  • 2. Consisting primarily or wholly of vegetables and vegetable products: a vegetarian diet. 
  •  
  • There are several types of vegetarians today. Vegans, who are the purists of the vegetarian world and who have one of the most specialized diets, refuse to eat all animal-derivative foods including butter, cheese, eggs and milk. Ovolacto vegetarians consider such animal-related foods acceptable but do not eat meat.Across the board, most vegetarians prefer their food organically grown and (if they eat fish and fowl) organically fed. Vegetarians get their protein from a variety of sources, such as foods from the large family of legumes, greens and vegetables.  Additional sources are spirulina, sprouts, hemp protein powder or seeds or butters and nut or seeds or butters.

    vegan

     veg·an (vē'gan, vĕj'an) pronunciation

    n.  A vegetarian who eats plant products only, especially one who uses no products derived from animals, as fur or leather.

    I have coined the name ‘Ocean Vegan’, since I started as such, which are those vegetarians who will eat fish, but not other animal products.

    raw foodist:

    n.  A person who consumes primarily raw food. one who consumes a raw food diet (or living foods diet) consisting of uncooked and unprocessed, and mostly organic foods.

    There is some debate over what quantity of raw food intake actually identifies one as a raw foodist. Most agree that if someone eats 75% or more of their food as raw, they are a raw foodist, although there is evidence that when one consumes 100% raw food, their assimilation goes up considerably.  Most of the foods consumed in a typical vegan raw food diet are fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. The exact definition of raw food varies, but the consensus is that a food is considered raw if it has not been heated to more than 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius), and if it has not been frozen.
