Definitions
A vegetarian is someone living on a diet of grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits with or without the use of dairy products and eggs.
A vegetarian does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, or slaughter by-products.
Types of Vegetarian
1.) Lacto-ovo-vegetarian. Eats both dairy products and eggs. This is the most common type of vegetarian diet.
2.)Lacto-vegetarian. Eats dairy products but not eggs.
(edit- you of course have the option of eating eggs but not dairy)
3.)Vegan. Does not eat dairy products, eggs, or any other animal product.
People who don’t eat red meat but do eat chicken or fish are making a very important first step, but they aren’t vegetarians. We usually call such people meat-reducers.
