Tofu has a low calorie count, relatively large amounts of protein, and little fat. It is high in iron and depending on the coagulant used in manufacturing, may also be high in calcium or magnesium. Etymology[edit] The English word "tofu" comes from the Japanese tōfu (豆腐), which itself derives from the Chinese dòufu (豆腐 or 荳腐) from "bean" (豆) plus "curdled" or "fermented" (腐).[11][12][13] The term "bean curd(s)" for tofu has been used in the United States since at least 1840. It is not frequently used, however, in the United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand.[15] Production[edit] Tofu is made by coagulating soy milk and pressing the resulting curds.

Salt coagulants[edit] Calcium sulfate (gypsum): The traditional and most widely used coagulant to produce Chinese-style tofu. Red tofu. Acid coagulants[edit] Glucono delta-lactone (GDL): A naturally occurring organic acid also used in cheese making, which produces a very fine textured tofu that is almost jelly-like.

Why Vegetarianism

Vegetarianism Know How. Vegetarian Sites. Vegetarianism Food. Different Types. Vegetarianism. A variety of vegan and vegetarian deli foods. Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat – red meat, poultry, seafood and the flesh of any other animal; it may also include abstention from by-products of animal slaughter.[2][3][5] Vegetarianism can be adopted for different reasons. Many object to eating meat out of respect for sentient life. Such ethical motivations have been codified under various religious beliefs, along with the concept of animal rights. Other motivations for vegetarianism are health-related, political, environmental, cultural, aesthetic or economic. There are varieties of the diet as well: an ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products, a lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs, and an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products.

Semi-vegetarian diets consist largely of vegetarian foods, but may include fish or poultry, or sometimes other meats, on an infrequent basis. Etymology[edit] Pesco. Pescetarianism. Etymology[edit] Pescetarian is probably a neologism formed as a blend of the Italian word pesce ("fish") and the English word "vegetarian".[1] The Italian word is pronounced [ˈpeʃe], while the English neologism is commonly /ˌpɛskɨˈtɛəriən/, with a /sk/ sound, thus differing from pronunciations of similar terms in English and Italian.

Pesce in turn derives from the Latin piscis,[1] which has the form pisci- when it serves as a prefix, as it often does in scholarly terms (e.g. "pisciculture" /ˈpɪsɨkʌltʃər/ or "piscivore" /ˈpɪsɨvɔr/). Note that a piscivore, as a type of carnivore, eats a diet primarily of fish, whereas the neologism pescetarian refers to persons who consume plant derivatives as well as fish. A similar term is vegequarian. Rationale[edit] Ethics[edit] Health considerations[edit] Japanese nigiri-sushi. Abstinence in religion[edit] Roman Catholicism[edit] Adhering to a diet closely resembling pescetarianism is a form of penance among Roman Catholics. Hinduism[edit] See also[edit] Pesco/pollo. Semi. A semi-vegetarian or flexitarian[1][2] diet is one that is plant-based with the occasional inclusion of meat products.[3][4][5][6][7] In 2003, the American Dialect Society voted flexitarian as the year's most useful word and defined it as "a vegetarian who occasionally eats meat".[8] In 2012, the term was listed for the first time in the mainstream Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.[9] Difference between similar terms[edit] Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat.

Common reasons for adopting a flexitarian diet may be health, environment (see environmental vegetarianism) or reduction of resource consumption (see economic vegetarianism), which are also arguments in favor of adopting a fully vegetarian diet. Pollotarians: They eat chicken or other poultry, but not meat from mammals, often for environmental, health or food justice reasons[12][13]Pescetarians: They eat fish or other seafood, but not poultry or meat from mammals.

Raw Foodism

Vegans. List of vegans. Vegan Food. Fruitarianism. Fruitarianism involves the practice of following a diet that includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, without animal products or grains.[1] Fruitarianism is a subset of dietary veganism. Fruitarianism may be adopted for different reasons, including: ethical, religious, political, medical, environmental, cultural, aesthetic, economic, and health reasons. There are many varieties of the diet. Some people whose diet consists of 75% or more fruit consider themselves fruitarians.[2] Close-up of a fruit bowl with apples, grapes, prunes, nuts, dates, tomatoes, lemons, mandarins, pears, and a pumpkin. Definitions[edit] Motivation[edit] Scientific studies[edit] Dental studies[edit] In 1979, Professor Alan Walker, a Johns Hopkins University paleoanthropologist, reported that preliminary studies of unmarked tooth enamel in early hominoids suggested that pre-human ancestors apparently had a diet of mostly fruit.

Clinical studies[edit] In 1971, a short-term study by B. Nutritional concerns[edit] Ovo-lacto. Etymology[edit] The terminology stems from the Latin lac meaning "milk" (as in 'lactation'), ovum meaning "egg", and the English term vegetarian (see Etymology of vegetarianism for the etymology of "vegetarian"), so as giving the definition of a vegetarian diet containing milk and eggs. Diet[edit] In the Western World, lacto-ovo vegetarians are the most common type of vegetarian.[1] Generally speaking, when one uses the term vegetarian a lacto-ovo vegetarian is assumed.[2] Lacto-ovo vegetarians are often well-catered to in restaurants and shops, especially in some parts of Europe and metropolitan cities in North America.

In the airline industry, a lacto-ovo vegetarian meal is known by the acronym VLML (for Vegetarian, Lacto-ovo MeaL). Religion[edit] In Hinduism many individuals are either raised as ovo-lacto vegetarians or lacto vegetarians. Many Seventh-day Adventist followers are lacto-ovo vegetarians. References[edit] See also[edit] Lacto. The greatest proportion of vegetarians, such as those in India or those in the area of the classical Mediterranean such as the Pythagoreans, are or were lacto-vegetarian.[2] Religion[edit] Lacto-vegetarian diets are popular with many followers of the Eastern religious traditions such as Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism.

The cores of their beliefs are behind a lacto-vegetarian diet is the law of ahimsa, or non-violence.[3] According to the Vedas, (Hindu holy scriptures), all living beings are equally valued.[4][5] Also, Hindus believe that one's personality is affected by the kind of food one consumes, and eating flesh is considered bad for one's spiritual/mental well-being.

It takes many more vegetables or plants to produce an equal amount of meat,[6] many more lives are destroyed, and in this way more suffering is caused when meat is consumed.[7] In the case of Jainism, the vegetarian standards are even more strict. Lacto-vegetarians and vegans[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] Ovo. Motivations[edit] Some vegetarians are lactose intolerant, and are unable to consume milk or other dairy products. Carbon emissions associated with keeping hens are less than those associated with cattle, a factor significant to those practicing environmental vegetarianism. [citation needed] Concerns[edit] Ethical concerns about the consumption of eggs arise from the practice of culling male chicks shortly after birth.[2][3] Practices considered humane for chick culling include maceration and suffocation using carbon dioxide.[2][4] One of the main differences between a vegan and an ovo-vegetarian diet is the avoidance of eggs.
