HI pavantn! :)) There are actually different kinds of vegetarians. I think you are a LACTO OVO VEGETARIAN. You don't eat meat, fish or poultry but would eat dairy products (milk, cheese and eggs). A LACTO VEGETARIAN would also eat dairy products, but not eggs. I hope this helps!

Oh, so sorry. I misread your discussion. If you don't eat eggs, then maybe you are a LACTO VEGETARIAN.

hi pavantn, i know that some vegetarian do not eat anything from animals. since you are a vegeterian, i think you do not eat eggs. but i think egg is so good to one's health, and there are so many ways to cook egg, it is tasty in every way to me, anyway eggs are not animals. i think you can have a try to eat. it is no offence to vegeterian.

Hi pavatin Vegeterians only eat food from plants. A lactovegeterian eats food from plants and dairy, which of course includes eggs. So, if you are eating dairy, you are a lactovegetarian not a vegetarian. Hope that helps.. J

A real veg means those ppl who eat only plant food what nature gives u might wonder one of my veg friend will not even take milk but ppl say milk is veg actually all depends on the mind set of ppl some will coin a new term called eggeterain it mean ppl who eat and veg food ...actually speaking this thing really based on their mind set it depends on their interest ..so all depends on person if u wish to eat to eat go ahead and eat nothing wrong in it ..

If you're a vegetarian then eating dairy products is okay, but if you're a vegan then anything that comes from an animal is off limits. Some poeple think that the animals that produce the dairy products are treated poorly so they don't eat them. Some people claim to be vegetarian and also eat fish, but it's still a meat in my eye.

If u dont eat egg or fish or mayo or any of that you are vegan...vegan believe not to eat ANY type of living thing. If u do eat egg then you are just vegaterian...I believe this is right but you would have to ask or get an answer from someone who is vegan.

It depends as to what degree you are a Vegetarian... A egg is a animal product, and a true vegetarian will not eat anything from a animal. Some people call them selves a vegetarian because they do not eat red meat. but they will eat fish, chicken,
