lacto-vegetarian
Eggs-excluded plant eater
A lacto-vegetarian is someone whose diet excludes meat, fish, and eggs but includes dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt.
The term distinguishes this practice from other vegetarian variations—ovo-vegetarians eat eggs but not dairy, while lacto-ovo-vegetarians include both.
She's been lacto-vegetarian since college.
