Let me try to describe them: no red meat veggies --- they eat anything except red meat (I don't see how this is veggie but they seem to ) Lacto-Ovo -- They don't eat anything that requires Killing. Eggs and milk are the only animal products. ( You needn't kill to get them. No animal products veggies. --- Self discriptive Religious veggies -- there are several groups that are veggie by religion. They have restrictions that I can't catagorize generally. As an example: Braman Hindus are veggies but they also don't eat mushrooms, onions, and many other plants for religious reasons. Fruitarians --- These folks eat nothing that requires killing. They eat nuts, fruits and flowers. I have known someone who did this and seemed to remain healthy. I think that you should be able to eat this way since you can eat grains and beans which will provide a complete protein for you. John Sechrest hp-pcd!johns
