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

Question

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.

Answer 1

lacto -vegetarian eats and drinks dairy

ovo- vegetarian eats eggs

lacto - ovo eats both

Answer 2

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).

Answer 4

Answer 5

It is called a vegetarian.  No need to add the extra words like lacto-ovo.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

lactovovegetarian

Answer 8

i think you're right.

Answer 9

Lacto-ovo vegetarian.

Answer 10

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

Answer 11

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

Answer 12

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.

Answer 13

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 c**p veggies...  pescetarians who eat fish but not other animals... they make no sense...
