Which diet pattern allows dairy products and eggs?

• A. Lacto-ovo vegetarian diet
• B. Vegan diet
• C. Lacto vegetarian diet
• D. Pescatarian diet

Answer: (A)

There are dietary patterns defined by what animal products are included. A lacto-ovo vegetarian eats both dairy products and eggs, in addition to plant foods, and excludes meat. That combination is what allows both dairy and eggs to be part of the diet, making it the pattern described. A lacto vegetarian consumes dairy but not eggs. A vegan excludes all animal products, including dairy and eggs. A pescatarian includes fish and may also include dairy and eggs, but the defining feature is the inclusion of fish rather than specifically the presence of dairy and eggs. Therefore, the pattern that explicitly allows both dairy and eggs is the lacto-ovo vegetarian diet.
