What type of vegetarian are you if the only meat you eat is beef?

I don't eat any meat expect for beef and i only have it like 5 times a month so what type of vegetarian am i?What type of vegetarian are you if the only meat you eat is beef?
You're not any kind of vegetarian. Vegetarians don't eat animal flesh, period...doesn't matter what animal it is. You're just a picky omnivore.
You're not a vegetarian if you eat meat at all. Currently, there is no term for a meat-limiting diet that includes red meat other than perhaps flexitarian.



The main terms out there are pescetarian (a person who eats fish meat, but not meat from land animals), pollotarian (a person who eats meat from birds but not other animals), and pescepollotarian (a person who avoids eating mammals).



A flexitarian can refer to someone who likes vegetarian foods but is not a vegetarian, or to a person who usually avoids meat but does eat it now and then.What type of vegetarian are you if the only meat you eat is beef?
In response to Cliff:

Note that in the second link, it is stated that:

"The researchers...found those whose diet contained the highest proportion of red or processed meat had a higher overall risk of death, and specifically a higher risk of cancer and heart disease than those who ate the least."



This is not to say that red meat cannot be part of a healthy diet, but there is some evidence that consuming a lot of it can raise the risks of some illnesses.
Technically, you could call yourself a flexatarian, which is someone who is mostly vegetarian, but who sometimes eats meat. However, realistically, by eating meat, you should not call yourself a vegetarian at all.What type of vegetarian are you if the only meat you eat is beef?
You're not a vegetarian, until and unless you stop eating meat completely. You just limit your meat intake, which is perfectly fine, if that's what you want to do. There is no title that I'm aware for you.
I've heard it called a flexitarian, but I would say you just limit your meat intake.

Red meat is the absolute worst for you. What is stopping you from dropping it altogether?
just a picky eater. not a vegetarian whatsoever.
Trollertarian? Omnivore? Beefatarian? Picky eater?
A liar a fool a moron a hypocrite a TROLL
a facepalm vegetarian
not a vegetarian at all
Damnit DNA! I was thinking that...a Trollitarian!
you are not a vegetarian at all if you eat beef
you're not one
You're not a vegetarian. I guess technically a bos-vegetarian? Bov-vegetarian? Whatever the case, the vegetarians will get all up in arms if you try to use any term with the word "vegetarian" in it.



And the first poster is wrong. Red meat is actually one of the healthiest foods you can eat, especially veal. It is rich in protein, iron, and vitamin B12, and contains all the essential amino acids in the right balance. It also contains plenty of other B-vitamins, zinc, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids. If you INSIST on giving up some kinds of meat, then red meat is a good choice for the one to keep eating. Red meat can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. There is no evidence linking risk of heart disease to regular consumption of lean red meat.
