Recently, learned I have, that the origin of “vegetarian” not from “vegetable” it comes, but from “vegetus” — Latin for fresh, lively, full of vigor, it is. If so, then a vegetarian, even I can be, hmm? Thus, my own vegetarian rules, created I have.
The base, pesco-vegetarian it is. Vegetables and plants, dairy, eggs, and seafood — permitted these are. Yet, from time to time, beef, pork, chicken, crave I do. Therefore, the concepts of “Hare” and “Ke”, introduced I have. Japanese traditional ideas these are. Roughly and simply put: “Hare”, special and festive non-everyday occasions it is; “Ke”, ordinary daily life it is.
Accordingly, follow the pesco-vegetarian rule in daily life, I do. But on anniversaries,national holiday, parties, or when invited by friends I am — eat meat, permitted it is. Not only because sometimes meat I wish to eat, earlier I wrote, but also so that unnecessary burden on those around me, I do not place — important this is. Also, of course, ignore things like extracts contained in seasonings or additives.
In truth, devised pesco-vegetarian HK I did, to naturally reduce excessive saturated fat intake into my diet, yes. More than ideology, the technical aspect, greater it is. Therefore, force this upon others I must not, nor speak ill of those who follow it not.
As for the fool who thinks “under this rule, unlimited sweets I may eat” — care for such a one, I do not. Do as you wish, you may. From the Lazy-aging ship, immediately get off you should, hmm.
