VegetariansA general term used to describe people who exclude meat, poultry, fish or other animalderived foods from their diets. An ovo vegetarian will eat vegetables plus eggs and egg products, and an ovo lacto vegetarian will add milk to this regime. Since no vegetable contains all of the essential amino acids but eggs do, including eggs in the diet protects against amino acid deficiency.
