Vegetarians do not eat the flesh of animals. This generally includes poultry, beef, fish and shellfish. The derivation of the word vegetarian comes from the Latin word vegetus, which means "whole, fresh and lively." The choice to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle can be made for moral reasons, or it may arise from religious beliefs, cultural heritage, health or environmental concerns.
