 | | Vegetarianism is a dietary practice characterised by the consumption of only vegetables, fruit, nuts, grains and pulses, and excluding the consumption of all body parts of any animal and products derived from animal carcasses (such as lard, tallow, gelatin, cochineal), from one's diet. |
 | | Vegetarianism has been common in Hindu and Buddhist countries such as India for thousands of years as a cultural and religious practice, but in the 20th century became increasingly popular in Western countries as a result of ethical, health, environmental and even geopolitical concerns. |
 | | Vegetarians who avoid consuming all animal products (such as eggs, milk, cheese, and honey)are commonly called vegans, though some reserve this term for those who additionally avoid usage of all kinds of animal products (such as leather and some cosmetics), rather than just food. |
