What is it called when u dont eat meat but consume eggs/milk?

ive seen the word for it but cant remember what it is.

i wanna know so that when i mention this stuff to anyone about me, i can be accurate. im 99% sure its not simply called vegatarian.

"mark g", YOU are the hypocrite. theres NOTHING wrong w/ my choice of diet. not everyone likes eating murdered animals, u need to accept the fact theres nothing wrong w/ that. wow u have alot of nerve.

Ovo-lacto vegetarianism eliminates the eating of all meat, including fish , but allows the consumption of animal products such as eggs and milk.

wow, i cant believe how many ppl answered & how many thumbs up some ppl got! of course, hammerhead deserved every one of them. & mark g deserved every one of his thumbs downs (what incredible nerve!) Report Abuse

The original definition of "vegetarian" coined by the Vegetarian Society in about 1847 included dairy and eggs.

Now, some people call it "lacto-ovo-vegetarian."

Indian/Hindu vegetarians generally don't eat eggs but use dairy products. Some people would call that "lacto-vegetarian." But I married into a Hindu family and I don't think I ever heard a Hindu say they are "lacto-vegetarian"; they just say they're vegetarian.

Using the word "vegetarian" is generally less specific than "vegan" (which means no animal products whatsoever).

Vegetarians, dont eat any form of meat (the animal itself, this incudes fish, shell fish and geletine (or how ever its spelt) but the do eat anima, products such as eggs, milk and cheese. vegans dont eat anything to do with animals at all and then u get crap veggies... pescetarians who eat fish but not other animals... they make no sense...

=] love a veggie

If you eat no animal flesh (including the flesh of sea creatures), but you consume dairy and eggs, you are called ovo-lacto (or lacto-ovo, but the former is easier to pronounce) vegetarian or just simply vegetarian.

flextarian I like that! I hate those people who wanna be like hypocrite b/c people aren't hardcore vegan. If those people really cared they would be happy that people are doing anything to cut down on animal product consumption. they are the real hypocrites!

It's called being a vegetarian, a vegetarian is someone who doesn't eat meat, being a vegan means you don't consume anything that comes from an animal.

Lacto-ovo vegetarian.

I think that includes all dairy products too such as ice cream, cheese, etc.

If you also eat fish and seafood I believe it's called Flexitarian.

Lacto-ovo vegetarian if you want to be specific, but you can just say vegetarian.

Its Vegetarian, a vegan doesnt consume eggs or milk or anything produced by an animal

It's called being a lacto-ovo vegetarian. Lacto- milk; ovo-eggs. I am one =)
