hello and this is just a quick video to

0:02

talk about the differences between

0:05

vegetarian and vegan and flexitarian

0:09

fruitarian and pescetarian I've noticed

0:14

that there's a lot of confusion about

0:15

these terms and I was in a restaurant

0:18

the other day and I asked wait if there

0:20

was something vegetarian on the menu and

0:23

he said to me is beef okay no it isn't

0:27

so to find out more

0:28

[Music]

0:44

vegetarians do not eat dead animals if

0:49

you eat fish you are not a vegetarian

0:51

tuna is not a vegetable

0:55

veg vegetables will eat products from

0:59

animals such as cheese and eggs but if

1:04

you are vegetarian be careful about

1:07

cheese because some cheese contains a

1:10

product which is called rennet which is

1:13

made from the stomach of a calf so

1:19

cheeses such as parmesan and rock four

1:23

are not vegetarian sorry for the bad

1:27

news Paul McCartney explained why he is

1:30

a vegetarian saying that now he can walk

1:33

past the field of animals with a clear

1:36

conscience if you do eat fish but not

1:44

meat then you can call yourself a

1:47

pescetarian

1:50

[Music]

1:52

a vegan is someone who doesn't eat any

1:57

animal products no meat no fish no

2:01

cheese no eggs honey well maybe yes

2:06

maybe no it depends on who you ask and

2:09

some vegans will not made but will not

2:14

use anything made of leather some famous

2:19

vegans include Natalie Portman Miley

2:24

Cyrus Al Gore and Morrissey okay now

2:35

we're getting into extreme territory a

2:37

raw vegan is a vegan who won't eat foods

2:42

that have been heated to a temperature

2:46

of more than 49 degrees centigrade thank

2:51

you you too which PD for that

2:53

information

2:54

they say that heating the food kills its

2:59

nutrients and produces dangerous

3:01

chemicals so a flexitarian if someone

3:11

who is a vegetarian most of the time but

3:15

will occasionally eat some meat to

3:18

supplement the diet so for example oh

3:22

man yeah I'm a flexitarian I'm a

3:24

vegetarian except on Tuesdays when I eat

3:27

sausages for example

3:31

[Music]

3:33

and finally we have the fruitarian the

3:38

most extreme diet of all prepare Ian's

3:42

wish to avoid killing anything including

3:45

plants so they'll eat fruits that fall

3:49

but those which don't kill the plant so

3:53

they won't eat it so for example you

3:55

can't a carrot because that kills the

3:59

carrots but you can't eat an axle

4:02

because the apple tree carries on living

4:05

seems a big stream to me because a

4:08

carrot doesn't suffer it doesn't have a

4:11

central nervous system but that's what

4:15

they believe

4:16

however the diet is said to be a bit

4:20

dangerous because it lacks vitamins if

4:25

taking a fruitarian to the hospital

4:26

there now I think but the diet lacks

4:30

vitamins however there are some famous

4:35

fruitarians that you might know there is

4:38

AG and E he was a fruitarian for five

4:42

years and also Steve Jobs he was a

4:47

vegetarian for some time and some people

4:51

say that the fruitarian diet killed him

4:54

because it led to his pancreatic cancer

4:59

however other people say that this is

5:02

nonsense so there you are hope that

5:06

cleared up any confusion so vegetarians

5:10

will say that's great we term it a meal

5:13

which is cruelty-free but of course I

5:16

couldn't comment I'm just an English

5:18

teacher so I'll leave you with a quote

5:22

from Isaac Bashevis singer who said I

5:26

didn't become a vegetarian for my health

5:29

I did it for the health of the chickens

5:32

thank you for watching more English
