What a mouthful. Or not. I know about vegetarian and vegan and flexitarian. Exhausting to write! New one; reducetarian. I may have spelled that correctly. Or not. I like its mission. I guess it is veganism- but loud and clear- reduce your consumption of dairy and eggs. Quit involving farm animals in your needs. I do eat eggs and drink milk though I also feel sad for those who provide the eggs and dairy. I just found the ungainly word interesting.

I love my dairy products Eggs, Milk, Butter, Cheese, I've tried Dairy free and Egg free products and not been impressed. I use a lot of eggs and most likely 10 litres of semi skinned milk every week. I use Cheese a lot cooking

@Ineeddentures What's your favorite cheese? I have had various varieties of vegie cheese and each one was nasty tasting. Is there a Scots cheese?

@sallypup Scotland makes some of the best Cheese on the world. We have loads of Dairy farms which produce great milk. Here is a link which will tell you more than I can My favorite cheese would be an Extra Mature Red Cheddar

I hadn't heard the word before. At least animals aren't killed to give us eggs and milk.

@JudyEv I agree with you. I wish I could have hens again so that I knew for sure about their welfare.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that one.

@AmbiePam I wish almond milk wasn't so expensive. I used to drink it more than cow milk. Then again, growing almond trees uses up a lot of water. Guess there isn't a winner.

I would have a hard time reducing my milk as I love milk.

There are so many names now. I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but do eat less meat, fish and foul than I used to.

That's new to me, too... We do use almond milk instead of real dairy but that's because I am lactose intolerant. (I can eat real milk in cooking but can't use it for cereal or just for drinking. Pretty still buys it for her cereal, though.) I eat a lot of eggs: boiled, scrambled or baked... We try to buy the ones marked as free-range but that doesn't really mean a lot the way they classify "free-range" in the US.

That's a new one on me. I had to switch to non dairy cheese and yogurt because of my kidney disease...no dairy. I don't have anyone to fix eggs for me; so I don't keep them in the house.
