Good lord.. I don't know if I could do no dairy and eggs. What if I didn't want to do vegan?

response: There are vegetarian diet variations such as ovo-lacto, which includes dairy and egg products, or ovo-vegetarian which cuts out dairy, and lacto-vegetarian which cuts the eggs not the dairy out.

Oh okay, I had no idea there were that many different types of vegetarians. I just thought there were the two kinds, vegetarian and vegan. So, that's interesting! Anything else you could tell me to help fill in any blanks?

response: Yes, packaged and processed foods are a vegetarian's special concern as they commonly have unfamiliar animal ingredients as additions.

Yeah, I guess I didn't really think about that! That might make things such a hassle and a complication for when I have to go shopping. Do you know any specific health benefits that might come along with this decision?
knowledge: Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat (red meat, poultry, seafood, and the flesh of any other animal), and may also include abstention from by-products of animal slaughter.
response: I'm not aware, only that vegetarianism is avoiding meat consumption and maybe the animal slaughter's by-products.
