THE VEGETARIAN OPTION

Vegetarianism is currently the rage, and those patients with heart disease or who are vulnerable to it ask me whether I recommend it. According to the Institute of Food Technologists in the July 1991 issue of its journal, Food Technology, there are essentially six different types of vegetarianism. The basic diet of all six consists of plant foods. Here are the variations:

1. Semivegetarian: dairy foods, eggs, chicken, and fish, but no other animal flesh. This is probably the most popular kind of vegetarianism.

2. Pesco-vegetarian: dairy foods, eggs, and fish, but no poultry or other animal flesh.

3. Lacto-ovo-vegetarian: dairy foods and eggs only, but no animal (and that means fish too) flesh.

4. Lacto-vegetarian: dairy foods, but no animal flesh, or even eggs.

5. Ovo-vegetarian: the only animal product consumed is eggs, but no dairy foods or animal flesh.

6. Vegan: no animal foods of any kind.
