history: I've been a vegetarian since 1983. I don't miss meat at all.

All of the above :) I used to live near an abattoir and could hear the sound of the cows lowing as they waited to be slaughtered. It was awful.
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: Oh, I see. Are you an ovo-lacto vegetarian, or maybe just ovo-vegetarian?

Ovo. I would prefer not to eat eggs, but I do at the moment. I always buy organic cage-free eggs. At least the hens are outside and living a semi-normal life.

Not at all. Almond milk is a great substitute for cow's milk and I don't miss cheese, either! There's so much you can do without using dairy products.
knowledge: Packaged and processed foods, such as cakes, cookies, candies, chocolate, yogurt, and marshmallows, often contain unfamiliar animal ingredients, so may be a special concern for vegetarians due to the likelihood of such additions.
response: That's cool. Have you noticed a lot of cakes, cookies, candies and chocolates which contain unfamiliar animal ingredients?

Every label gets read! Thankfully, I'm not big on sweet stuff, so don't buy cakes etc. If I fancy something like that, I make my own.
