You may have heard kids in the cafeteria or at a birthday party say this as they passed on a burger and grabbed a slice of veggie pizza instead. Did you wonder what a vegetarian is exactly?
A vegetarian is someone who doesn't eat meat, and mostly eats foods that come from plants, like grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Some stricter vegetarians avoid more than just meat. They also avoid animal products, which are nonmeat foods that come from animals. Some examples would be milk (from cows) and eggs (from chickens).
