Understanding Vegetarian Diets
While the term "vegetarian" broadly defines someone who doesn't eat meat, poultry, or fish, there are several sub-categories:
- Lacto-vegetarian: Includes dairy products but no eggs.
- Ovo-vegetarian: Includes eggs but no dairy products.
- Lacto-ovo vegetarian: Includes both dairy products and eggs. This is the most common type of vegetarian diet.
- Vegan: Excludes all animal products, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and honey.
