List Of Fictional Vegetarian Characters
This is a list of fictional characters that either self-identify as vegetarian or have been identified by outside parties to be vegetarian. Listed characters are either protagonists and recurring characters. Some scholars have argued that mass media serves as a "source of information for individuals" interested in vegetarianism or veganism, while there are "increasing social sanctions against eating meat." Even so, there are lingering stereotypes of vegans and vegetarians in the same media, with journalist Farhad Manjoo writing in August 2019 that it is "still widely acceptable to make fun of vegans." The names are organized alphabetically ''by surname'' (i.e. last name), or by single name if the character does not have a surname. If more than two characters are in one entry, the last name of the first character is used.

Vegetarian
Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat (red meat, poultry, seafood, insects, and the flesh of any other animal). It may also include abstaining from eating all by-products of animal slaughter. Vegetarianism may be adopted for various reasons. Many people object to eating meat out of respect for sentient animal life. Such ethical motivations have been codified under various religious beliefs as well as animal rights advocacy. Other motivations for vegetarianism are health-related, political, environmental, cultural, aesthetic, economic, taste-related, or relate to other personal preferences. There are many variations of the vegetarian diet: an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products, an ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products, and a lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs. As the strictest of vegetarian diets, a vegan diet excludes all animal products, and can be accompanied by ab ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
