They are semi-vegetarians.

1. Semi-Vegetarians
Semi-vegetarians eat no red or white meat (beef, pork, venison, etc). The
only animals that semi-vegetarians eat are fowl and fish. (Purists would
say that semi-vegetarians are not vegetarians at all, but I have included
them in order to show the complete hierarchy.)

2. Ovo-Lacto Vegetarians
The most common type, ovo-lacto vegetarians do not eat any animals, but do
eat eggs and dairy products.
Subcategories:
* Ovo vegetarians (eat eggs but not dairy)
* Lacto vegetarians (eat dairy but not eggs)

3. Vegans
Vegans eat no animal products - no eggs, no dairy, no honey, etc.


4. Raw/Living Foodists
Raw or Living Foodists eat only raw food, because enzymes are destroyed by
normal cooking processes.

5. Fruitarians
Fruitarians eat only fruit, fruit-like vegetables (e.g., tomatoes,
cucumbers), and sometimes seeds and nuts.
