Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 Lacto means dairy products, the term derived from lactation, lactose, etc. Ovo means egg in Latin and is self explanatory. Those who are lacto-ovo vegetarians eat no meat but will drink cow's milk, eat cheese and other dairy products, and will eat eggs. Vegans object because one is exploiting the animals to get these things but, like PT, I believe that, as long as the animal would produce it anyway, and is being well cared-for, we may as well honor it by using the products in a healthy and respectful way.
