Vegetarianism, also known as plant-based eating or meat-free diet, is a dietary lifestyle that consists of consuming only foods derived from plants (fruits, vegetables, etc.), with or without the inclusion of dairy products, eggs, or other animal-derived ingredients like honey, butter, cheese, cream, or whey protein. It completely excludes all types of meats (red meat, poultry, and seafood, including insects) and abstains from consuming any food products obtained through the slaughtering process, such as processed meats, sausages, fish sauce, or smoked meat.
