*’diet’ has several definitions…*
“sum of food consumed by an organism”
*deliberate selection of food to control ‘body weight’ + ‘nutrient intake’*
.
A healthy diet is one that helps maintain or improve overall health.
A healthy diet provides the body with essential nutrition:
fluid,
macronutrients,
micronutrients,
and adequate calories.
.
A healthy diet may contain
fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and includes little to no processed food and sweetened beverages.
The requirements for a healthy diet can be met from a variety of plant-based and animal-based foods, although a non-animal source of vitamin B12 is needed for those following a vegan diet.[3] Various nutrition guides are published by medical and governmental institutions to educate individuals on what they should be eating to be healthy. Nutrition facts labels are also mandatory in some countries to allow consumers to choose between foods based on the components relevant to health.[4][5]
“WORLD VEGETARIAN DAY”
(OCTOBER 1ST)
“WORLD DAY FOR FARMED ANIMALS”
(OCTOBER 2ND)
(celebrates birthday of “mahatma gandhi”)
(“vegetarianism” /vɛdʒɪˈtɛəriənɪzəm/ is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of ‘meat’ (‘red meat’, ‘poultry’, ‘seafood’, and the flesh of any other animal), and may also include abstention from by-products of ‘animal slaughter’)
(‘vegetarianism’ may be adopted for various reasons)
(many people object to eating meat out of respect for ‘sentient life’)
(such ethical motivations have been codified under various religious beliefs, as well as ‘animal rights advocacy’)
(other motivations for vegetarianism are health-related, political, environmental, cultural, aesthetic, economic, or personal preference)
(there are variations of the diet as well: an ‘ovo-lacto’ vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products, an ‘ovo-vegetarian’ diet includes eggs but not dairy products, and a ‘lacto-vegetarian’ diet includes dairy products but not eggs)
(a ‘vegan’ diet excludes all animal products, including ‘eggs’ and ‘dairy’)
(some vegans also avoid other animal products such as ‘beeswax’, ‘leather’ or ‘silk’ clothing, and ‘goose-fat’ shoe polish)
(packaged and processed foods, such as ‘cakes’, ‘cookies’, ‘candies’, ‘chocolate’, ‘yogurt’, and ‘marshmallows’, often contain unfamiliar animal ingredients, so may be a special concern for vegetarians due to the likelihood of such additions)
(often, prior to purchase or consumption, vegetarians will scrutinize products for animal-derived ingredients)
(vegetarians’ feelings vary with regard to these ingredients)
(for example, while some vegetarians may be unaware of animal-derived rennet’s role in the production of cheese, and may therefore unknowingly consume the product, other vegetarians may not take issue with its consumption)
(semi-vegetarian diets consist largely of vegetarian foods but may include fish or poultry, or sometimes other meats, on an infrequent basis)
(those with diets containing fish or poultry may define meat only as ‘mammalian flesh’ and may identify with ‘vegetarianism’)
(a ‘pescetarian’ diet has been described as “fish but no other meat”)
.
(the common use association between such diets and vegetarianism has led vegetarian groups such as the ‘Vegetarian Society’ to state that diets containing these ingredients are not vegetarian, because ‘fish’ + ‘birds’ are also ‘animals’)
