"채식주의자" (vegetarian) refers to individuals who choose not to consume meat, fish, or poultry. This dietary choice can stem from various reasons, including ethical concerns about animal welfare, environmental considerations, or health benefits. Vegetarians often focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. There are different types of vegetarians, such as lacto-vegetarians, who include dairy products, and ovo-vegetarians, who consume eggs. Some may also identify as vegan, avoiding all animal products entirely. The vegetarian lifestyle has gained popularity worldwide, influencing food culture and restaurant offerings.
