Ovo
Ovo is a term used in nutrition to describe a type of vegetarianism that includes eggs but not dairy products. This dietary practice is also known as ovo-vegetarianism.
Overview
Ovo-vegetarianism is a diet that includes eggs but excludes dairy products. This is in contrast to lacto-vegetarianism, which includes dairy products but excludes eggs. Some people choose ovo-vegetarianism due to allergies or intolerances to dairy products, while others may choose it for ethical reasons, such as concerns about animal welfare in the dairy industry.
Nutritional Considerations
Eggs are a good source of protein, vitamin B12, and other essential nutrients. However, they are also high in cholesterol, which can be a concern for some people. Ovo-vegetarians need to ensure they get enough calcium and vitamin D, which are nutrients commonly found in dairy products.
Ethical Considerations
Some people choose ovo-vegetarianism for ethical reasons. They may have concerns about the treatment of dairy cows, or they may believe that it is more ethical to consume eggs, which do not require the death of an animal, than to consume dairy products.
