Let's talk about vegetarians:

Q:  What do vegetarians eat?  Seaweed, carrots, and celery, right? 

A:  No.  Vegetarians eat all sorts of stuff.
    French toast, omelettes, sauteed mushrooms, baked alaska, pizza, etc.

Q:  Vegetarians are health nuts, right?

A:  There are several reasons one can become a vegetarian.  One might:
    a)  believe that avoiding meat is healthier.
    b)  be opposed to killing animals.
    c)  be a vegetarian for religious reasons.
    d)  not like the taste of meat.
    e)  or who knows what else?

    Note that (b) may be opposed to eating fish & fowl, and may be quite
    strict about the slightest bit of meat in food, as would (c).
    Type (a) *might* not be opposed to a bit of meat, say a beef broth.
    You'd have to ask the person.  It's not like we have standard rules.
