history: I'm thinking about becoming a vegetarian, but the more I research online about it, the more confused I get. Can you break this down for me?

That's true, more of an activist thing I guess. But I'm just more concerned about my health. Is a vegetarian diet as healthy as people make it sound?
knowledge: There are variations of the diet as well: an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products, an ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products, and a lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs.
response: I really couldn't say. There are different variations of vegetarianism, though. There's ovo-lacto vegetarianism, which diary products and eggs are eaten, ovo-vegetarianism, in which only eggs are eaten, and lacto-vegetarianim, in which only dairy is consumed.

I guess I'll have to keep researching then. There's a lot about a vegetarian diet that could be complicated and nuanced. I'll need to be sure.

response: One concern for vegetarians is that packaged foods like cakes and such can contain unfamiliar animal-derived ingredients.
