Tag: Egg eater

Did you know that ovo-vegetarian diets have been practiced since ancient times, with early proponents like the Greek philosopher Pythagoras? So, **what do you call a vegetarian that eats eggs?** The term for this specific dietary practice is ovo-vegetarianism, and it offers a unique nutritional path within the spectrum of plant-based eating.

According to a 2022 survey, approximately 35% of Seventh-day Adventists follow a vegetarian diet, with many being ovo-lacto vegetarians, but a person who only eats vegetables and eggs follows a different dietary path. That specific eating pattern is known as an ovo-vegetarian diet. The term distinguishes this individual from vegans who avoid eggs, and lacto-vegetarians who consume dairy but not eggs.
