I know Vegans don't eat fish and shrimp though but pesca whatevers do and it's fine in their opinion they are still consider vegetarian.

Buddhist vegetarians abstain from eating all life, but they do consume animal by-products (cheese, butter, eggs, milk)
and since Thee Virgin is not around, lemme try my hand at an absurd idea :-
in the Bible, it says "Thou Shall Not Kill"
since it's not explicit what you can't kill, and every organism is living, i surmise men can only eat sand, soil, rocks etcetera
