Does eating eggs still make me a lacto-ovo-veg?!
Does eating eggs still make me a lacto-ovo-veg?
When I tell my friends that I eat Dairy products and egss they freak out and tell me that eating eggs is like eating chicken. I tell them that being a lacto ovo veg. inables me to eat eggs and dairy. They say that its poultry. I try to explain to them but I don't get it either. Am I eating a baby chicken?
Answers:
Lacto is milk, Ovo (or Ova) is egg...Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian are vegetarians that eat milk and eggs.
No, it's not a baby chicken. The eggs you buy in the supermarket are not fertilized. Chickens are hatched from fertilized eggs.
Your friends are messing with you and they don't know about biology.
