What is ovolactovegetarianismo?

Ovolactovegetarianismo, also known as lacto-ovo vegetarianism, is a type of vegetarianism that includes the consumption of dairy products, eggs, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds but excludes meat (including fish and poultry). Ovolactovegetarians believe that this dietary choice is more humane, environmentally sustainable, and healthier than a meat-based diet. People who follow this diet often do so for ethical reasons or health concerns, as it is believed to reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, and certain types of cancer. However, it is important for ovolactovegetarians to ensure they are obtaining adequate protein and other essential nutrients often found in meat, such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, through plant-based sources and supplementation.
