Vegetarianism

[Moscow Mule]

They do eat eggs and dairy.

Isn't the ovo/lacto bit redundant then?

When was the last time you saw an egg or a pint of milk that had a face?

I'll eat fish, but seafood is basically snorkeling cockroaches as far as I'm concerned

2 questions:

1) fish is seafood surely?
2) You nicked that cockroach analogy off Stephen Fry. Credit where credit is due.

Nope. You don't kill a chicken for its eggs or a cow for its milk.

Exactly, so a vegetarian is perfectly entitled to eat them, without all the ovo/lacto business at the front?

But a "pure" vegitarian wouldn't eat them.

As in a vegan?

Crikey... imagine never having bacon on toast or steak? I couldn't do it.

The lacto ovo bit is just there for people to do the "look at me" thing when arriving at a dinner party

Nope, a vegan wouldn't use any animal products at all. Leather etc.

Think no more "Shoes" and "Handbags"...
