Although hunger comes to all men, and despite your body metabolism there is a need to satisfy the pang for food with a nutritious and healthy meal, the only clause to this is that vegetarians own a separate type of meal preference as against popular meal types that would have proteins from animal slaughter and poultry products present.

• Stock or fats produced from the killing of animals are a no-no for vegetarians. 

• Chicken, turkey, and duck are examples of poultry.

• Insects, shellfish, and fish

• Rennet, gelatin, and other forms of animal protein are also good examples.
