Nothing but vegetables, and wheat products. You would be considered a Vegan.
Not Semi- Vegetarian
I have a friend that is vegetarian, but she eats dairy products, like cheese, drinks milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, and anything dairy. PLUS vegetables, and grain products. NO MEAT, she abhors the idea of animals dying or being hurt. She is a PETA supporter also, to a point. ( She thinks the organisation can find better ways to do things to get a point across.)
She is considered a Lacto- Vegetarian.
I am not saying this because I am be all know it all. I'm saying this because I am learning about Nutrition and I had to do a Case Study report regarding this one thing. The types of Vegetarianisms there are.
Hell....I am okay with people and their choices, don't have to like it, don't have to tell them not to do it, it's their choice if they choose to do it.
Who cares what others think if you eat no meat? It's your choice. I even found a Mypyramid for vegetarians too, from the USDA themselves. They worry about vegetarians not getting enough nutrients that is needed (that meat provides) so they offer other tips for foods (not animal meat) that is rich in those nutrients. Like Iron, protein, zinc, Vit. B12 and so on.

Will say one thing: Straight up, vegetarians are the healthiest people when it comes to health as long as they get all they need for nutrients.
