Vegetarianism /vɛdʒɪˈtɛəriənɪzəm/ is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat and may also include abstention from by-products of animal slaughter.
Vegetarianism may be adopted for various reasons. Many people object to eating meat out of respect for sentient life. Such ethical motivations have been codified under various religious beliefs, as well as animal rights advocacy. Other motivations for vegetarianism are health-related, political, environmental, cultural, aesthetic, economic or personal preference.
Packaged and processed foods, such as cakes, cookies, candies, chocolate, yogurt and marshmallows often contain unfamiliar animal ingredients, so may be a special concern for vegetarians due to the likelihood of such additions.

One thing vegitarians should be aware of is that they don't get enough of the natural substances found in meat; and cannot be found in dairy, fruits and vegetables. This may cause a vitamin deficiency and should be compensated for by taking appropriate supplements.
A long term vitamin deficiancy may cause Fatigue Shortness of breath Dizziness Pale or yellowish skin Irregular heartbeats Weight loss Numbness or tingling in your hands and feet Muscle weakness Personality changes Unsteady movements Mental confusion or forgetfulness

When people think about a vegetarian diet, they typically think about a diet that doesn't include meat, poultry or fish. But vegetarian diets vary in what foods they include and exclude:
Lacto-vegetarian diets exclude meat, fish, poultry and eggs, as well as foods that contain them. Dairy products, such as milk, cheese, yogurt and butter, are included. Ovo-vegetarian diets exclude meat, poultry, seafood and dairy products, but allow eggs. Lacto-ovo vegetarian diets exclude meat, fish and poultry, but allow dairy products and eggs. Pescatarian diets exclude meat and poultry, dairy, and eggs, but allow fish.
