Actually, avoiding meat IS healthy! Since when is condoning MURDER considered healthy? Meat holds NO nutritional value, we are made of meat just like animals but it’s considered wrong to eat people, why not animals too? The only people who think it’s not healthy to not eat meat are those who don’t care about the pain and terror their “food” goes through before it ends up on their plate! Meat eaters should be ashamed of themselves.

Your information is not correct. Albert Einstien should not be considered a famous “vegetarian” as he was only vegetarian for the last year of his life.

Avoiding meat is NOT healthier. A balanced diet is.
Don’t just take my word for it, ask a PhD Nutritionist.
People are usually vegetarian / vegan because of their views on the eithical treatment of animals and rarely because of a misguided nutritional information.

Check out Einstien yourself:

Please correct your information, as it could lead to confusion among those new to vegetarianism.
An Ovo-Lacto vegetarian consumes eggs and milk
A Lacto-vegetarian only consumes milk.

And what exactly do you mean by four groups in your definition of a Lacto-vegetarian? Four groups of what?

While I do applaud your decision to inform people about the benefits of a vegetarian diet, it is important for you to be clear on the topic and you really should proof read before hand and there are several glaring grammatical errors on the page.

wow.. who ever posted this did not do their research…

This statement throws me off: “Vegetarian lifestyles are usually healthier because of lesser smoking, more exercise and less alcohol ingestion.” Not all vegetarians are this healthy…. this is a very broad statement. I would love to see a statistic on how many vegetarians are really that healthy… And since when does being a vegetarian mean you drink less alcohol. BAH!

You guys are confused. Lacto-Ovo Vegetarians eat milk products and eggs. Lacto = Milk, Ovo = eggs.

Ovo Vegetarians do not drink milk or eat milk products.
Lacto Vegetarians do not eat eggs.

Vegans do not eat anything that has any animal byproducts.

This is why we get the stupid questions such as “but you eat fish, right?” MISINFORMATION

What the hell? Lacto-ovo means milk-eggs. Lactose intollerant=allergic to milk,
