People integrate various diets into their lives for reasons of health, taste, respect for nature and conscientiousness, and as awareness increases, there is a decrease in dominant diets. This is rapidly increasing the number of people adopting diets such as vegan and vegetarian.
Today, although the vast majority are fed as “omnivores”, there are actually different types of nutrition, including millions of people. In particular, as the importance given to animal rights increases, it is estimated that plant-based nutrition will dominate in the distant future.
Nutritional forms:
- Veganism
- Vegetarianism
- Lacto vegetarianism
- Ovo vegetarianism
- Vegetarianism
- Pesketarianism
- flexitarianism
- Frutarianism
- Paleoluk
- Jainism
- Planetism
Everything for the good of animals: Veganism
They do not consume any animal products. It even includes honey. This situation is not limited to nutrition only; they do not prefer to wear leather and fur, they do not use animal-tested products.
The non-strict version of veganism: Vegetarianism
They do not consume any meat, whether red, white or fish, but eat animal products such as milk, yogurt, cheese and honey. Leather, although some may be sensitive in the use of fur, does not contain all.
Society for those who do not eat eggs: Lacto-vegetarianism
They continue not to consume meat, they are open to dairy products, but they do not consume eggs. In fact, the fact that the egg is technically “chicken menstruation” and that the male chicks are killed alive are effective in this decision.
Never without eggs: Ovo Vegetarianism
Again, they do not eat meat, they do not consume dairy products, but they continue to consume eggs.
Non-appointed vegans: vegetarianism
They are no different from vegans in terms of diet, but they can use animal products such as fur and leather.
Those who do not compromise on raki-fish: Pesketarianism
The word originates from the Latin word “piscis” meaning “fish”. Their diet is very similar to vegetarians, the only difference is whether they consume fish or not. Many pescatarians who consume fish and seafood have the desire to one day switch to vegetarianism.
The “flexible” version of vegetarians: Flexitarianism
Although they do not eat meat, they are not very strict about it, they can make small escapades from time to time. Some can eat it because they have to, some because they miss the taste of meat.
Those who do not consume cooked or processed fruits and vegetables: Frutarianism
They do not even pluck it from the branch, they feed on fruits and vegetables that fall to the ground. They argue that it is healthier and more natural.
Also known as the “Caveman Diet”: Paleo
Also known as the “caveman diet”, “stone age diet” or “hunter-gatherer diet”, it consists of feeding on wild plants and animals eaten by Paleolithic humans, including modern foods.
One of the most important elements of the diet is to stay away from foods that were not available in the Paleolithic Age. For example, processed animal foods (butter, milk, yogurt, etc.), wheat products, legumes, refined oils (vegetable oil, corn oil, canola oil, margarine, etc.) and refined sugar are some of them. After 2010, the Paleolithic diet has become the fashion diet of the 21st century.
Not even harmful to bacteria: Jainism
Jainism is actually a religion. Members of this religion try not to harm even microorganisms, as they focus on not harming any living thing. They even wear masks for this reason. Moreover, since small creatures die in the harvest of some plants, they do not eat those plants.
Jains may choose not to eat after sunset, for a rather interesting reason: They believe that tiny microorganisms that emerge in the dark can cause their death. Of course, not all Jains are that strict, the degree of strictness varies from person to person.
All for the good of the Earth: Planetary
It is a type of nutrition that emerged when 37 researchers from 16 countries came together to create the best diet for the planet. Benefiting nature is very important in this diet.
Although animal products are largely prohibited in this diet, which recommends an average of 2500 calories per day, it is not completely prohibited. We can say that all other forms of nutrition “found the middle way”.
