The Four Main Groups

There are four different main groups of vegetarianism. There are the Vegans, who only eat plant- based foods, but nothing that comes from animals, even milk and cheese! The lacto- vegetarians, who eat plant- based foods and milk products, but no meat, eggs, or fish. The lacto- ovo vegetarians, who will eat plant- based foods, eggs, milk products, but no meat, poultry, and fish. Then lastly, flexitarians. Their diet consists of plant- based foods, but they also eat small amounts of meat, poultry, and fish. They are categorized by the kinds of animal derived foods they eat.
