I am an ovo-lacto vegetarian. I would like to stop eating eggs and dairy though.
What is ovo-lacto?
It means I don't eat meat, but do eat some animal products, e.g. eggs, cheese, butter etc.
Oh, I see! What are your reasons for not eating meat?
I used to live near an abbatoir when I was a child and could hear the cows lowing before going to slaughter, so I guess it's a personal preference. There are also environmental aspects, too.
That is terrible! That breaks my heart.
Mine too! Just think, In India some areas consider cattle off limits for religious reasons.
I wish I had the self control to abstain from eating meat!
It's very much how far you want to take the whole vegetarian thing. Vegans, for example, exclude all animal products, even leather, beeswax or silk!
Oh wow! That is interesting!
