   Ovo vegetarians eat eggs
   Lacto vegetarians eat dairy
   Ovo-locto vegetarians eat both eggs and dairy
   Pure vegetarians don’t eat any animal byproducts

   Everyone has their own reasons, but the ovo-lacto vegetarian diet is the easiest, since dairy and eggs will provide everything your missing from not eating meat.

   The most cruelty free diet is the pure vegetarian diet, but many people like myself eat eat eggs from cage free hens.
