Those who allow dairy and eggs are called lacto-ovo vegetarians, which I, for the most part, consider myself to be. I do admit that I eat meat one to four times a month, so some would consider me a part-time vegetarian.  Eating fish is important to me for the health benefits of fatty fish (omega-3s). |
The bolding is mine, as I wanted to emphasize that yes, we eat eggs, but when we purchase our eggs we usually get them from one of two sources--the farmer's market or the co-op--and they are typically vegetarian-fed free-range. We love eggs from the farmer's market--there's nothing quite like a farm-fresh egg.
