A vegetarian was an individual who voluntarily excluded any meat-based foods from their diets (not to be confused with herbivores, whose natural diet consisted solely of plant-based foods). Though a vegetarian diet might be seen as a more moral choice, (as opposed to eating slaughtered meat) it has been noted by Spock that as plants are living organisms, vegetarians and meat-eaters alike fed on death. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")

Charles Tucker once inquired if Colonel Grat was a vegetarian during a dinner invite in 2152. (ENT: "Detained")

Most Vulcans, including T'Pol and Spock were vegetarians. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Terra Prime"; TOS: "All Our Yesterdays") The v'tosh ka'tur were one major exception. (ENT: "Fusion")

Spock was also described as a herbivore once, in "The Slaver Weapon"

Some Humans, like Chakotay, also chose the life of a vegetarian. (VOY: "Unity", "Workforce") The inhabitants of Omicron Ceti III were forced to be vegetarians, after all the animals died. (TOS: "This Side of Paradise")

Deanna Troi became concerned that the Evora may be vegetarians after they began eating the floral arrangements at their reception in 2375. (Star Trek: Insurrection)

The Trill Tobin Dax was a vegetarian. (DS9: "Afterimage")
