Vegetarian, Flexitarian or Pescatarian?

Each day, I choose an array of colorful, fresh vegetables and fruit for our diet regimen. Mostly, I buy organic or farm-fresh vegetables, trying to ensure our plates are full of veggies, beans and lots of vitamins, nutrients and variety.
While we take this commitment seriously, we still have a taste for seafood and chicken. Research shows we’re part of a growing trend of flexitarians, whose numbers are growing in tandem with the recognition that meals rich in legumes, vegetables and fruit offer a wide array of health benefits including an overall lower Body Mass Index, which helps calculate weight in relation to body fat. Yet plant-based eating doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing proposition, as the list below shows:
Vegans: No meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, gelatin ( because it is all animal-derived)
Lacto-ovo
