Many people believe that the word “vegetarianism” comes from the Latin “vegetalis” (vegetable). In fact, this term is based on the Latin word “vegetus”, which translates as “strong”, “vigorous”, “full of strength”, “active”. And, indeed, most people who prefer this kind of diet strive to lead a healthy lifestyle. A true vegetarian diet involves eating only plant foods. True vegetarians even abstain from dairy products, fish and eggs. However, people who adhere to such strict dietary restrictions most often come to this lifestyle in connection with religious or ethical views. Basically, vegetarians are flexitarians, that is, from time to time they use cheese, seafood, fish, lean meat, eggs, milk, etc. in their diet.
