case, spun, as they spin other fibers such as cotton. </span><span style="" title="">So, we do not need any cultivation of silkworms, because abandoned wells can be found in nature. </span><span

animals, </span></span><span id="result_box" class="long_text"><span title="">this term is </span></span><span id="result_box" class="long_text"><span title="">recently used for themselves and people who eat certain types of meat. </span><span title="">It has become conventional wisdom that those who eat only meat and fish so. </span><span title="">seafood called pescetarians. </span><span title="">Those who eat all kinds of meat except so called </span><span title="">red meat are called semivegetarians. </span><span title="">There were new fictitious group, so called </span><span title="">flexitarians generally do not eat meat, but when they are in society or to visit relatives adjust your diet and eat it, so called </span><span title="">new vegetarians are omnivores, which in turn, with meat, like to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits.<br /><br /></span><span title="">Since most of under-educated people is still looking to vegetarianism as an alternative, an unequal and less valuable form of nutrition in relation to the usual diet in Western societies, it is unclear why people who eat meat want to force to call themselves vegetarians. </span><span title="">However, regardless of the fashionable trends, it is important to clarify the concept of vegetarianism in order to properly and consistently used in daily use. </span><span title="">So many vegetarians will no longer be deprived of vegetarian food in restaurants and other public places, where often the vegetarian menu are fish and other marine animals, as well as chicken, turkey, etc. Also, clear clarification of the concept of vegetarianism, which protects consumers </span><span title="">which, because of their own choice or specific health problems (allergies, intolerance to certain ingredients in food, etc.) want to buy vegetarian products.<br /><br /></span><span title="">Deceptive terms such as semivegetarians, pescetarians, flexitarians etc. hindering the proper understanding of vegetarianism as a diet that excludes the consumption of any kind of meat from animals. </span><span title="">For comparison, those who smoke only a few types of cigarettes could be the same logic to called semi smokers, which would be absurd. </span><span title="">Equally, and with vegetarianism.<br /><br /></span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="">Therefore, in order to be abolished misconceptions about the content of vegetarian diets, the European Parliament's had in 16th </span><span title="">June 2010. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="">passed an amendment that gives the legal definition and protection of the term 'vegetarian' and 'vegan'. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="">This amendment excludes from the use of expressions like semi vegetarianism and guarantees that the products that are declared as 'vegetarian' does not include products from any animal, nor of fish, and those with the declaration 'vegan' or any foods of animal origin such as milk, eggs </span><span title="">and honey.<br /><br /></span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="">The amendment will concepts like semi vegetarianism and flexitarianism exclude from use, it will bring order in the labeling of products and understanding of vegetarian diets. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="">It is expected that, in accordance with this amendment, all of which use the division of vegetarian food from caterers, publisher of the recipes, nutritionists, manufacturers and others comply with the defined terms 'vegetarian' and 'vegan'.<br /><br /></span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="">So, vegetarians do not eat any kind of animal meat, including fish and other aquatic animals. </span><span style="" title="">Within vegetarianism ovo lacto vegetarians eat eggs and dairy products, while lacto vegetarians eat dairy products, and do not eat eggs. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="">Vegans, often referred to as virtual or pure vegetarians, do not eat meat, milk, eggs, honey, and therefore, any food of animal origin.<br /></span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title=""></span></span>George
