文化面面觀
Vegetarian 素食主義者
Vegetarian一詞，最早是在1847年，由Joseph Brotherton等人在英國素食協(xié)會的成立典禮上第一次正式提出來的。這個詞源于拉丁文
vegetus，意思是完整的，健康的，新鮮的，有活力的。Vegetarian也常常被昵稱為Veggie，通常包含多種類型的素食者，那些完全不接觸任何動物制品的素食者，一般稱為Vegan。東方人往往把素食與佛教里的吃齋混淆起來，其實是兩個不同的概念。
完全素食者（Vegan）擯棄動物肉（肉、家禽、魚和海鮮），動物制品（蛋和奶制品），還通常不吃蜂蜜和不穿動物制品（真皮、絲綢、羊毛、羊毛脂、明膠等等）。大多數(shù)完全素食主義者協(xié)會不允許食用蜂蜜，但也有一些完全素食主義者仍然食用，有些完全素食主義者也拒絕食用發(fā)酵食品。
奶蛋素（Ovo-Lacto
Vegetarian）除了吃蛋和奶制品之外，其它與完全素食者一樣。這是最"流行"的素食方式。
奶素（Lacto Vegetarian）除了吃奶制品之外，其它與完全素食者一樣。
嚴(yán)格素食者（Strict vegetarian）開始是指完全素食者(vegan)，現(xiàn)在也可以指素食者（vegetarian）。
純素食者（Pure vegetarian）與嚴(yán)格素食者一樣。
飲食上的完全素食者遵守全素者的飲食方式，但不拒絕或排除不作食物的動物制品。
Why should Christians be vegetarians?
Animals are God's creatures, not human property, nor utilities, nor
resources, nor commodities, but precious beings in God's sight. Christians whose
eyes are fixed on the awfulness of crucifixion are in a special position to
understand the awfulness of innocent suffering. The Cross of Christ is God's
absolute identification with the weak, the powerless, and the vulnerable, but
most of all with unprotected, undefended, innocent suffering.
Jesus' message is one of love and compassion, yet there is nothing loving or
compassionate about factory farms and slaughterhouses, where billions of animals
live miserable lives and die violent, bloody deaths. Jesus mandates kindness,
mercy, compassion, and love for all God's creation. He would be appalled by the
degree of suffering we inflict on animals to indulge our acquired taste for
their flesh.
Christians have a choice. When we sit down to eat, we can add to the level of
violence, misery, and death in the world, or we can respect His creation with a
vegetarian diet. God created every animal with the capacity for pain and
suffering. But on today's factory farms, animals are dehorned, debeaked, and
castrated without anesthesia. To maximize profits, they are crowded together in
the least space possible, and are genetically bred, so that most suffer
lameness, crippling leg deformities, or bone breaks, because their legs can't
keep up with their scientifically enhanced bodies. Finally, they are trucked
without food or water, through all weather extremes, to a frightening and
hellish death.
