i'm aware of ethical vegetarianism and dietary vegetarianism, but not any specifics on variations between vegetarians by diet.

no

yes. not immediate family, but friends.

having a restricted diet, gaining weight is difficult (this would apply to an athlete), etc.

10) Do you agree with the saying, "Your are what you eat"? Why yes or why no?

to an extent. it is a simplification of a rather accurate nutritional philosophy. it's hard to explain though and it would take me more than a comment box to discuss diet in accordance to that statement.

also, HipHopHead, if you like i have one of the best nutritionists in the country and he would be willing to answer your questions for free. PM me if you want the number. btw, I_Guy is a vegetarian. i'll PM him and let him know to help you out here.

2) Do you know what term vegetarianism means?
Yes. A person who rejects meat as a food source.

Well some are called flexible vegetarians like me, some are vegans, and there probably are more subcategories.

Fruits, vegetables, nuts, oats/wheat/grains

5) Are you currently or have you ever in the past eaten a vegetarian diet?
Yes.

6) If so for how long?
About 6 months.

7) Do you see any benefits in the vegetarian diet?
Yes. Ethical and dietary.

8) Are any vegetarians in your immediate family or among your friends?
Yes.

9) What are the challenges of being a vegetarian?
Living in a nation where meat is sold on every corner, non-meat foods aren't always available. Vegetables and fruits and other healthy foods can only be obtained from certain sources that are not as widely dispersed or convenient as something like a fast food restaurant. Organics become an issue, prices become an issue on some things (nuts mainly), keeping variety becomes an issue, cooking becomes an issue, keeping a balanced diet is difficult at times, it can be easy to get into junk food for some people.

10) Do you agree with the saying, "Your are what you eat"? Why yes or why no?
It makes sense literally and figuratively.
