Hmm, are you a vegetarian, or just didn't add any proteins for this one?

I would add some fresh seafood near the end and cook it just until done (don't overcook). Things I would add would be shrimp, scallops, calamari, maybe some whitefish. I would probably do something else besides the squash though. Maybe finish it with a bit of lemon.

How about "Healthy Eater" ? I'm not sure why we need to categorize ourselves. We all eat differently, some more than others. It's a spectrum of eating habits, not black and white (eg. carnivore, vegetarian).<HR>

The purpose of categorizing oneself is to elicit helpful responses from others. Not labeling yourself a vegetarian when you actually are means you're going to get a lot of posts telling you to add meat to whatever you're making - might be helpful for some of the people reading the thread, but not for the person who's actually asking the question. Secondly, telling a person in simple terms what you eat means they're much more likely to be able to feed you should they choose to entertain you. It's meaningless to call oneself a "healthy eater" because that means completely different things to different people - people on the Atkins diet and raw-foods vegan diets are probably just as likely to call themselves "healthy eaters."

About the label itself - pesco-vegetarian offends my ears because of the idea that fish can be added to a vegetarian diet and still called vegetarian, but it's probably the most correct simple form because it simply lists the things you eat. "Fish-eating vegetarian" is as untrue as just saying "vegetarian," because fish-eating is still not vegetarian. Perhaps the best form would be, "I eat fish, but otherwise adhere to a vegetarian diet."
