What type of Vegetarian are you?

Nafie Williams had this question for - What type of vegetarian are you? I once thought of myself as a vegan.. yet it begs the question... Is one still consider a vegan when one chooses to eat certain food out of respect for another? 

Here's the scenario, say you attend a dinner at a friend's house and you have a slice of cake that ordinarily you won't eat, jut to be polite and agreeable.. Are you no longer a vegan? Have I lost my Vegan Card because of that? Perhaps... I don't agree.... I really don't agree.

Aren't we all some sort of vegetarian at the end of the day.. I mean we do eat vegetables at some points regardless of what we say. Come on, the ketchup we eat on almost everything, tomatoes. So which are you?

Pescatarian/pescetarian - Persons who abstain from eating all meat and animal flesh with the exception of fish.

Flexitarian/Semi-vegetarian - is a term recently coined to describe persons who eat a mostly vegetarian diet, but occasionally eat meat.

Vegetarian/Lacto-ovo- vegetarian - Persons who do not eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or animal flesh of any kind, but do eat eggs and dairy products.

Lacto-vegetarian - is used to describe a vegetarian who does not eat eggs, but does eat dairy products.

Ovo-vegetarian - Persons who do not eat meat or dairy products but do eat eggs.

Yum Yum
Vegan - persons who do not eat meat of any kind and also do not eat eggs, dairy products, or processed foods containing these or other animal-derived ingredients such as gelatin.

Raw vegan/Raw food diet - Persons on a raw vegan diet consists of unprocessed vegan foods that have not been heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius). .

Macrobiotic - Persons on the macrobiotic diet, revered by some for its healthy and healing qualities, includes unprocessed vegan foods, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and allows the occasional consumption of fish.

I suppose now I can be classified as Lacto-0vo-Raw Food-Macrobiotic-Vegetarian-Vegan. Really??? We talk about that later
