Are there any ovo-vegetarians out there?!


Question: Are there any ovo-vegetarians out there?
It kind of seems like the second most logical form of vegetarianism (after veganism), yet aside from vegans, I only ever meet lacto-ovo and plain lacto vegetarians,


Would any ovo-vegetarians out there like to share the reasons for their chosen diet?

Answers:

I am an ovo vegetarian. I cut out milk from my diet when I realized how much it increased my risk of breast cancer (I am already susceptible due to history of breast cancer in my family) as well as many other detrimental effects it had on my health. It was also a logical thing, like why should I be drinking milk meant to make a baby cow grow to be 300-500 pounds?

I only eat eggs from my own pet chickens now, because I know how happy and healthy they are and because they are free to roam around my yard and free to take shelter in the warm stall they live in when its cold (Previously belonged to my horse). I think I may always keep chickens as pets, that way I don't need to buy factory farmed eggs from battery hens. Plus, when they stop giving eggs I keep them as pets and they provide good company. They're quite intelligent despite what some think, they're like dogs to me.

Vegetarian



I am an ovo-vegetarian. I do think it's the most logical step before veganism as well. Dairy is nasty since so many hormones and pus goes into the milk which are coming from stressed out cows. For the most part, I eat organic free-range eggs, and yes I know the chickens are actually not that free but I try to go for the most positive welfare option available. I stay with eggs because it is a super quick protein option for me as I do not consume soy or have the time to make certain protein dishes. I plan on going vegan eventually though :)



I am an ovo-veggie because my family eats meat, and its really hard to cut all animal products ot of my diet, so I compromise with eggs, and sometimes there is nothing else to eat.



I am an ovo vegetarian because I am in a position to humanely care for my own chickens which are free range and much loved. I am also about 80% raw.
